Chainsaw dudes are always a good choice, ha ha.
I would just recommend hiding where he's coming from, for instance
have a screen or something off to the right where it looks like the guy will come...

Definitely in. Have a friend who is a film student and will be shooting and editing.
Posted stills on another thread, but here's a little of what I have going,

Screamshow,

Couldn't agree more. Create a world with scary, appropriate things in it, not just a maze of random animatronics and sets. Also remember to keep it simple, using shadows and fog and...

Yard Haunt is about 70- 80% complete.
Cornfield is up thanks to a friendly local farmer, and a couple hundred
screws.
Detailing to follow, This area is mostly a hiding area for two chainsaw...

My advice, go w/ the Goatman thing. Show the clip, use the theme
all the way. People react more to a cohesive idea than random horror scenes. Do a guided tour if possible, this way you can add...

Bill,

You definitely need to go back at night, with the place in full swing.
We went last Saturday at 9 and didn't get out until after 1 am.
They actually have a big staff of actors this year,...

Definitely interested. Is there a deadline you would need it by?
Does it have to be on a DVD?
More info please.
Really awesome idea.
Thanks,

Gentlemen,

Thanks for the encouragement. I know the road ahead in the industry is not paved in gold, but it's what I love to do. I mean I plan and think about it all year.
So I might as well try...

Was wondering if anyone had suggestions about breaking into the Industry.
I'm currently a Yard Haunter w/ actors, fog, lighting, sound, etc... and the show has been pretty popular in my area.
I...

Speaking of Safety, I'm still stuck on the holding a chainsaw while suspended in the air. I wouldn't recommend having the actor hold any real object while suspended. Too easy to have it drop or go...

I'm starting to think that the atmosfear created, and the internal
tension is the way to start going. High startle is great, cheap, and effective, for awhile,... but maybe people are catching on,...

I thought it was awesome, definitely restored Myer's Cred.
This dude was not just strong and unstoppable, but really psycho.
I think most of the reviewers missed the point, the fact that Myers is...

Thanks on all the input. Guess I'll be hitting the stores.
Appreciate all the thoughts.

I've been faced with the same problem since I've been setting up my yard.
Easiest solution for me was to put up some type of temporary barrier fence and keep everyone on the street. Fortunately my...

Good ideas. I will check them out. I also stumbled upon another source,
large potato sacks from Restaurants, Diners, etc..
Perfect size for scarecrow heads, and a good amount of material if I cut...

Looks really good. Love the Facades, Vortex looks sweet!

I guess not. Probably everybody is in the same boat as I am with
these materials. No shortcuts.
Thanks though.

Figured I'd throw this out there, but does anyone know of a good supplier for a roll of Burlap or Landscaping Fabric? Like 50 to 100 yards? Or where I could get some fairly inexpensively?
Home...

Thanks. I think it is a Horror Movie, a really bad like D- movie, but it describes my theme of the Scarecrows taking over and attacking the Farmers. I hadn't thought about planting the corn in pots,...

I would say it depends on what types of roles you're casting for.
As a former actor I would usually get a list of general things that I would not like to do or be able to do at the haunt, I.E....

Jason must have read my mind. I change the theme of my yard every year, and liked the creep factor of scarecrows. My yard is long and narrow so I'm going to use the cornstalks tied to burlap to make...

How big is the structure?
Condition?
And I'm guessing it comes with the blowers?
Willing to make offer w/ more info.
Thanks,

Chainsaw;)
