I know Jim has been on Extreme Homes many many years ago. I saw that episode before I knew about this place..hell I didn't even know Jim was in Illinois when I first saw that. I think he was also on...

Well I just couldn't help but jump in on this one. Da Bears all the way! The lions will be handed their first loss come Monday. As long as Cutler doesn't get killed in the first half, I predict a win.

If you're playing the radio and you're paying royalties to ASCAP, they decide how to divide the money up to their artists. I'm not entirely sure how they decide who gets what. They might use airplay...

It's not a scam, it's just the way ASACAP/BMI work. They are legit, even if their tactics are shady and misleading and possibly illegal. Brett had the right idea. As much as I'd hate to give in to...

Sounds like you're dealing with one of the music licensing groups (ASCAP/BMI/ect). If you were required to have a federal license to operate an amusement park (which I've never heard of being done on...

Maybe there should be a sticky on this forum answering this exact question. Seems this question always pops up, and half the replys are to buy that book.

Well, add another recommendation for that...

It's always been my impression that people like to walk away with something from an event. It's your job to have something to put in their hands. If your haunt is well known a shirt can act like a...

Halloweenroom, I've actually been spending my entire day trying to figure out how to build what I think you're asking for....a flame projector. It's actually not very complex, but it's still using...

Add another to support for Autocad. I've been using it for various things since high school....it can do almost anything design related. It's not cheap that's for sure. But you could really put it to...

Overall I like it, but I would suggest some changes. It might be beneficial to have a section showing most recent threads in the forums, and maybe display that more prominantly. Perhaps moving...

I'm not too thrilled about bringing this thread back to top with another post, but let's face it this seems to be a thread everyone is reading. I'm not posting this to take a side though. This whole...

Larry I agree with you, and doing something like having a gun, even loaded with blanks, is just insane. That's about as insane as having a real chainsaw with a real blade and instructing actors to...

Still seems kinda cartoonish, but it's much much better than the other one. Certainly a step in the right direction.

Well it seems the 09 season is pretty much over for most people. I don't think there were many staying open another weekend. So how did everyone do? Was attendance up or down? Any major problems?...

I actually agree with you in that regard, my main point was that I have a hunch the OP is trying to get financing, since it seems inevitable that people think the key to a bank loan is a kickass...

Preblepug, I think you need to ask yourself exactly why you need a business plan. If it's simply for the sake of running a better business and giving yourself some direction then go for it. But if...

I picked up on that too, thought it was kinda funny.

I've seen both and already got the other two set to Tivo. I wonder just how many people watching these shows AREN'T haunt fanatics like the...

At the concert venue I used to work at our nightly closing procedure was to walk the room and make sure all the doors are securely locked (and in an 80 year old building sometimes doors looked closed...

I beleive there are 3 things that would classify a raffle or something as a lottery or gambling. Cost, reward, and chance. All 3 need to be met for it to be considered gambling. You already have the...

Perhaps the economy being down has made people demand a little more value for their dollar. It's possible that people who would normally never complain are now in a bit tigher financial situation and...

I think you have the right goal, but it's just impractical. Quality in a haunt is rather subjective. How would you write up these standards? All haunts must spend X number of dollars on scenery and X...

If you only have a haunt and nothing else (no side attractions or merchandise/concessions) then people waiting around could be a major concern. But whenever you have something else for them to spend...

One possibility to the logistics issues would be to only hit up a couple of the "major" haunts while also visiting a bunch of smaller ones. In my area almost every town out here has some sort of...

I just thought of this as I was thinking of all the haunts I'd like to visit this season. Does anyone do a Haunt Crawl as a co-promotion with other local haunts? Like offer a reduced overall price...

I've been working on some original music intended for use in haunts lately, and one of the things I'm planning on doing with this is offering two versions of the final mix, either a stereo 2 track...
