Sometimes I see the wall of text and say to myself, "Greg post... will it be worth the 10 minutes it will take to read and decifer?" And then I find the gold nugget. Yes. Yes it is. Genius.

I'm probably just being an idiot here but on Allen's website I already bought "Dynamic Haunted House Acting Volumes 1 and 2". I don't see "Dynamic Haunted Attraction Scares”!" at all. Is there a...

Bump! Not all of us can go to the shows.

I never have anything cool like that happen in my neighborhood.

When I was around 10 I had a friend that my brother and I use to visit during the summer when all parents were at work. One time he took all the guns out of his dad's "locked" gun safe and wanted us...

Hey Mike,

Thanks for all your historic and educated perspective here. I was already firmly on your side of the debate but it was simply from my opinion that the best answer is always MORE...

Dude. If my contributing to your thread has made you so angry I appologize. I just happen to read a book yesterday that was dedicated to the subject you were talking about. I guess the book is...

Cool. Then prove me wrong. ;)

Let me start by saying I'm not personally poo-pooing your idea. I just happened to finish a book yesterday called "Social Media is Bullshit". The premise is that there are many lies, exagerations,...

Lol! In case someone doesn't know about Mr. Hopps' legendary series of DIY haunted house videos. Lol!

How about being called on the walkie talkie that one of your actors is seriously "out of his mind" high and he's been seen stumbling around the trail and no one knows where he is now. Oh... and then...

I figured you'd like that part since I got the term from your "wantrepreneur" video. I think putting the validation concept on top of your business toolbox is the best thing I've learned here.

My local department of planning and zoning were saying the same thing. Our drive in was a single turn in on a busy road with non-ideal visual clearance. Initially they said it was too dangerous. ...

As far as getting into a business mindset I would recommend LOTS of reading. Read, read, read. Business books, marketing books, histories of successful companies and entrepreneurs. Really the only...

I feel like I'm business oriented. Here are the general steps I took to do my 1st year "pro" haunt. Obviously I could go into great detail into each step but I'll spare you. ;)

Patrick's...

The original question was about being "business orientated" "and what do you do to get that mindset?"

What does business mean? Google says "1.A person's regular occupation, profession, or...

Off topic but can someone please explain to me why graystone ends all conversations with "Shane and it's "? I do not understand. Is it an inside joke?
Thanks.

We made a contract with all our actors (about 45) - they got paid $10/hour but they had to show up all 8 nights. We also treated them very well as Allen and Bobby teach. We didn't have any problems...

I don't know why but I'm fascinated but old house facades like that. My dream is to have a fake neighborhood of fake houses. Kind of like the miniature spooky towns they sell in art stores... but 2...

I bought a ticket. I figure it's high enough now that I can afford to avoid my relatives if I win. ;)

The chances are almost nill but if you buy zero tickets you have a zero chance. If you buy...

I was reflecting on this past season. I live in a college town, and my staff and I talked to a lot of college students during October. We were surprised by how many guys we talked to that had never...

I watched the video and appreciated you posting it. It put the concept of validation out in front of everything else. I really like that idea. It makes sense.

I totally get the whole...

In the woods I ran my event I planned against centralized sound. I had to cover 1/2 mile of real thick woods. Limbs fall. Squirrels chew through wires. I used cheap individual ones with cheap mp3...

I don't know best or worse. I can only tell you my experience. I bought 18 sets (36 total) of these:

Uniden GMR 1636-2C 2-Way Radios, black, two radios...

I think a lot of movie cast directors would disagree. If it was that easy, then more Hollywood actors would just be scooped off the street as nobodies and trained to greatness. Again, not saying...
