PARANORMAL ACTIVITY is essentially Blair Witch in a house.

It's a similar story, shot in the same shaky, pseudo-documentary style.

There is very little gore and a most of the violence happens...

Inflatables are everywhere.

They are easy to set up, easy to store, and durable.

But most inflatables are far too "cutesy" for haunters to use.

How about some inflatables that are actually...

And the Roman Catholic Church wonders why people keep leaving their churches in droves...

Invest $25 in the “So You Want to be a Haunt Entrepreneur” book by Kelly Allen.

It's a must-read for anyone looking to get into pro haunting.

I think a lot of haunts have simply outgrown their market.

Each year, these haunts get bigger, longer, and more elaborate.

Each year, the admission price increases to cover the cost.

Wait a minute...

Isn't Rodimus the LAST of the Primes?

(I'm such a geek)

Cool stuff!

Is it possible the drop off in attendance is relative to how hard the area was effected by the recession?

The Southern states are doing fine but the more northern areas seem to be hurting...

Since this is a HOME haunt...

If the cardboard is free and you only plan to use it one year, go for it.

You can use cheap 1X furring strips to add support.

No problem...

Thanks should really go to Nightmare Tony, the IAHA, and the Corn family.

Matt,

Haunters rarely call them flats... we almost always refer to them as WALLS or WALL PANELS.

A properly constructed, muslin-skinned, theatrical flat (with keystones and corner blocks) is...

Some thoughts to consider about pallets:

1. Most pallets are heavy and need to be braced well.

2. Most pallets are rough... nails, splinters, and loose boards are common.

3. Most pallets are...

The Haunted Mill - Belmont, NC

One big billboard close to your haunt (near an interstate exit or major turn) can help people find the place.

I wouldn't try to "pepper" your area with them though.

A posting like this seems to promote an "us vs. them" attitude toward your customers.

"If you come through our haunt, you'd better behave yourselves... we can't control our actors!"

Not really...

I just got off the phone with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

They were pissed.

Sorry guys... you're gonna have to change your name.

You have 15 days to comply.

I mean it.

Will this be coming to all Six Flags?

Probably not.

The OKEFENOKEE/PLANTATION/MANSION dark ride has always been an "Old South" themed attraction.

It doesn't really fit in with the other...

I have a soft spot in my heart for this SONG OF THE SOUTH-inspired, family-friendly, dark ride.

The original TALES OF THE OKEFENOKEE was one of my favorites as a kid.

It was eventually redone...

One piece of advice?


Haunting is not a get-rich-quick scheme.

There are probably fewer than 500 people in this country making a full-time living with dark attractions.

Most of those are...

The Darkness
...

Ghosts & Legends Theatre is not only nearby, it's pound-for-pound the best dark attraction in SC.

Just don't go in expecting a scary gorefest.

Ghosts & Legends is an old fashioned, Disney style...

Does this Coach Cal guy have a haunt?

Can you see it on Street View?

Here's 3 more:

Google Street View : Violation of privacy or just another cool way to check out haunts?

Something to think about....

No matter what genre of music is played you're not gonna "entertain" everyone.

A lot of people hate metal, punk, country, hip-hop, reggae, etc.

What is...

In going with the "happy" ending, the studio missed the entire point of the source material and turned I AM LEGEND into crap.

How would a "prequel" fair any better?

I'll pass.
