Don't assume that the stone faced people aren't scared or entertained. I truly think that the lack of expression is an involuntary reaction to their fear and the ownknown situations that they are...

You might try Kitsie Duncan and her husband Chris Jay. I spoke with him at an event earlier this year and seem to remember him mentioning offing CGI work. I'm not sure if they do it through their...

As a designer and actor for a small 2nd year haunt, the new fee definitely affects me and my group. It won't deter me from attending by any means, but it will force me to drop a seminar that I would...

Just curious about this. I've seen many, many haunts, both big and small using heavy metal music in their promotional videos. Is this common practice through the industry. Surely most of them do not...

Awesome! Thanks for the info, Allen!

Hey everyone. I am looking for props that look like human skin that can be hung in a butcher's shop room. I have seen them before, but can't find them anywhere. Does anyone know who sells them, or of...

Our haunt is in a mall with tiled floors like what you are describing. Most of our scenes are indoors so wi just left the tiles as they were, but we had an outdoor graveyard scene too. For it, we...

The Night Terrors of Effingham crew will be there early Thursday morning. this will be my first year at TW and I can't wait to meet all of you guys in the flesh!

Going to the your class thursday afternoon, Allen! Are you going to have your acting dvds available for sale afterwards, or should we just order them off of the stiltbeast website?

I might be a little biased since I am a graphic designer through the day, but I think this logo falls short in the same way that many, many other haunts do. Specifically, i mean readability. Don,t...

Hey Kelly! Great idea on the digital version. I have actually searched for your book on the Apple bookstore on my iPad.

Back in 2005 I took a photo in the park and caught what appears to be a hairless sasquatch. I have the photo and my reasons why I believe it to be a bigfoot posted along side it on my webpage here:...

Well, i guess that shoots down my demonic, suicidal zombie, Marine Corps clown who eats babies with his chainsaw character that I was working on. Damn.

Best Western, baby! $55 a night! It'll probably be scarier than the haunt tours....

Mostly looking forward to meeting all of you crazy people! I'm new to the industry and plan on spending a lot of time meeting you guys, soaking up the knowledge and having fun.

Did someone metion...

Now that you mention it, I do a redneck voice too, but it's probably because I live among them every day. Pehaps this season I will do SomethinG where I STreSS all of the harD ConSonanT SounDS in a...

Nothing, and I mean nothing, is as ergonomically correct about surfing the forum on an iPad while sitting on the toilet. Trust me. I've had body parts fall asleep that I didn't ever realize required...

Last year I was in a room where I could walk intoa hidden passage and listen to the groups go through two rooms before mine. I would listen totry and discern if there was one "scaredy cat" of the...

I for one, love the idea of your incentives. It gives the new actors material that is relevant to their volunteer position and will hopefully build up their passion for the industry. Let's face it,...

I just wanted to clarify that in no way would we try to limit an actor's creativity - but since we have so few experienced ones, we are just trying to find ways to give the shyer or less creative...

I jist saw one of these at a hobby shop in Indianapolis a few weeks back. The illusion is very convincing, but it was a small toy like the example that you postd. The illusion was only like fifteen...

I whole-heartedly agree. Being someone who is relatively new to this industry (and this forum), I have undoubtably gained a lot from the nuggets of wisdom that he posts.

It's rare to find someone...

Last season I played a deranged doctor in our autopsy room and had quite a bitof interaction with the patrons. At one point, I was yelling at a group and my fake teeth flew out of my mouth and landed...

Great tips! We are hosting our first planning meeting tomorrow and I'll definitely take this to heart. Thanks for the advice!
