Ok, I'll wade into this as a newbie!
It was our first show to attend. We'd heard lots of stories of the "old days" We had been told that the haunt industry is very clique-ish and unaccepting of...
Hi,
Consider a "mystery theater" approach -- it works for us. Depending on how much time they have, develop a story line where they (as smaller groups) have to solve a problem or find the way out...
That's the one thing I didn't have the chance to visit with anyone about at the show -- we're interested in a custom sound for our haunt; I don't mind paying for quality stuff at all....but we're...
We have a corn maze and haunted trail on our farm. We have a "kick off" party at least two weeks with all actors/staff before we open. Staff under the age of 18 are required to bring a parent or...
I know for a fact that there are large groups who are attending St Louis BECAUSE of the split. It was because of the reputation the earlier shows had gotten: we had actually been advised to NOT go...
We've never met, but I've enjoyed reading your posts -- my prayers are with you! Take care, update when you can! We'll be attending Transworld for the very first time ever in St Louis -- I'll be...
Oh, yeah -- Vincent Price movies!!! We caught a little flick called The Cottage (oops! sorry! this is not a Vincent Price movie!) -- not bad...the end had a little unexpected twist! Has a...
What are some things you guys do to keep people from stealing your signs? We're out in the country, so lighting our signs is a problem. We thought we'd solved it with solar powered uplighting --...
Try www.ohenrytents.com -- ask for David.
Our tent has been a real life saver for our event!
I accidentally found out how to do this once -- I had used thicker coats of crackle finish (I've also heard that plain, white school glue like Elmer's will do the same thing, but I haven't tried it)...
Hi, all ~
We've been doing hayrides for years now. One thing we've learned: Customers LOVE a long, winding hayride. We use old cotton trailers that we pick up at auctions (around $200 +) and...
Same here in Texas -- lots of our people talked about it, but when questioned no one had ever actually been to it. They only knew "friends of friends" who had attended. The rumor around here is...
This will be our first ever visit to TW -- thanks for sharing this video -- now I can see what we're in for! So excited about checking this out!!
Thanks, Larry!
We used it to incorporate. We're small by comparison to many of you folks, but we didn't want anyone to break their little toe on something and end up with our home and everything else, either (ugh!...
We just love and admire your work! The pictures are amazing -- thanks so much for sharing! You always inspire us to take our corn maze haunt in a new direction and to think BIG!! :)
I'm interested, but I'm in Texas -- sorry! If anyone has anything a little closer, let me know.....send pics and asking $
Thanks!

This is very cool -- love this idea and started building it right away! We're in a cornfield, so we opted for cardboard lids, well, actually foam core and a handle from the inside for the actor to...
Thank goodness I got on in time to see this post! Glad to see I'm not the only one putting the kids to work in the shop :)
We've farmed forever, but '08 will be our second year to haunt on our...
Is there some way for the HW site to do an audit to measure the activity of a posted haunt's account? I mean, if a haunt hasn't added anything in the last couple of years or so, then the system...
we've decided to continue the hayride, only not haunt it. It can be a nightmare on a Saturday night! We're going to focus the actors into the haunt attraction, and leave the other stuff on the farm...
LOL! Love it, Kimmy -- "walk off with the whole haunt!" -- I'm feelin' that!
Unguided...we tried guided, but we felt some of our guides detracted from the experience...especially if they knew...
too bad; I was hoping for texas....
Wow! That's cool....I'm afraid my skill level isn't there yet! Anyone know of beginner fx classes (don't laugh!) a little closer to texas? I've looked around Houston, Dallas/Ft Worth, Austin --...

Love the "no waiting in line" policy -- thanks! I've been wondering if anyone has a food token system that worked! We have several activites that we're switching over to a token system...
