Thanks much Bobby for the kudos. Speaking with you last summer was not really anything unusual. I treat folks just how I would like to be treated. And besides, I always love talking to other...
Thanks Doug. That means an awful lot coming from you. For this year's new line up, we will even have actors in costume at the show to help demonstrate that they are not just fun action props to carry...
We are in full gear here readying a load of new action ‘Walk-About’ props for TransWorld. These are some of the most exciting actor accessories that we’ve come up with so far. If you managed to visit...
I'm pretty sure Bobby was talking about using the small size balloons normally used for water balloons, but only filled with air and blown with a fan.
For the gravity room, look up forced...
We've worked it out so that we don't rely on air or electricity, making them totally portable and never needing any kind of recharge or tether. The actor controls everything, from maneuvering and...
Sounds hauntingly familiar. LOL I obviously love the whole 'portable scare' idea. We used our vendor gags, and other portables, for years at our own haunt with fantastic success. The 'vendor' models...
Here's a similar idea I did in 2010.

And the plant in action:...
Here's one I built several years ago for our haunt. This was hanging over a fireplace that was really a door that our patrons walked through to the next scene. It was triggered as they walked through...
Wow...thanks for the kudos Bobby. I'm glad you're enjoying the plants. And yes, our web site is definitely not the fanciest offering, but I AM old, and I can't even spell HTML, much less learn all...
Parade and festival season is upon us. If you own, or act in a haunt, you know the importance of getting you name out in front of people throughout the year and not just during October. If you don’t...
This was not only our first time vending at the Midwest, but our first time attending as well. Of course it is a smaller show than TW, but because it isn't as big, we had more time to spend talking...
All of us at the Iron Kingdom want to thank everyone that stopped by our booth to say hi and chat with us, regardless of how crazy it was. Although we have been attending for years and years, this...
Welp...our prop sale at the haunt went very well. Sad to see it go, but with so many haunts showing up and picking out items, I feel pretty good about the fact that they will keep making folks wet...
Hi Folks,
After more than ten years haunting professionally, Melissa and I are closing our haunt in Owensboro, Kentucky and selling off our amassed props and inventory. ...
Some quick action videos (sorry...uncut and unedited):

We are shipping these out as fast as we can build them. Stay tuned for more versions coming soon.
I have a guillotine, but it's not an 18th century authentic model. It is a very solid built fully operational one though. The framework is heavy steel tubing and is covered with wood to give it a...
I'm a firm believer in billboards as long as you get to choose the location. They are constant reminders seen by thousands of people each and every day, as opposed to radio, TV, or newspaper ads...
Ryan the costume contest is a fantastic idea to promote with. And it could also be a great recruitment tool for new actors. The more elaborate an individual's costume is, the more dedicated that...
Hey Mike,
Yes, spring loaded and very easy to reset. Simply push the lid down to lock the trigger for the next scare. I need to get more detailed video of all of the styles, and I should have...
Thanks Jonathan, they are a lot of fun to walk around with. One suggestion we had was to include a sound box, but so far every time we've taken them out to play with them there has always been a...
We've recently introduced our 'Walk About' line of props that are designed for just such an event. These are hand carried animated props that will no doubt leave a lasting impression on your...
I searched with very little luck for plastic wine bottles for our cellar a few years ago. But because of the close proximity of the tours, just couldn't go with glass for the obvious reasons. I...
CRAP!!!! First I had pictures but the hyperlinks didn't work. Okay, reformatted and now no pics. Aaaahhhggggg!!!! Chances are it will have to wait until later tonight when my much more net savvy...
Our sale page has been updated with our new 'Walk-About' animated actor props. These are great accessories that give your character total portability to seek out your prey and give them a...
