Bates Haunt, an annual Halloween display in Taylorsville, Utah, is the first and longest running[citation needed] video projection mapping show on a building.

The first performance was on October 31, 2002, using a borrowed 1200 lumen projector projecting from the home across the street.

[3] The next year the haunt was featured on Comcast's new digital TV channel Fearnet.

Since then the show has continued to grow adding additional original songs and content.

[6] Bates Haunt pioneered a technique which used a common drawing program Adobe Photoshop to trace 3D objects using a projector.
