“Remember the MacGyver TV show from the 80’s? The guy who could create a
hovercraft using only duct tape, a turkey baster, and some nasal spray could
still learn a few things from The Bad Boys. They have mastered the art of
creating high-impact sets using low-cost materials, have inspired and
influenced countless haunted attractions across the country, and are some of
the most talented and informative artists within the entire haunted attraction
industry. The skills and information that they reveal in their seminars is
priceless. I have been in the haunted house business for more than 25 years,
and yet I am still learning new things every year from The Bad Boys.”
- Scott Simmons, Creative Director of The ScareHouse
“Although I haven’t seen the Bad Boys’ work in person, I have seen many photos
of it that I have been very impressed with. I have also been impressed with
Mike Krausert. I know him as a true professional with a great deal of
integrity, something that is hard to find and always appreciated in business
today”.
