I should have done this earlier, but really couldn’t put into words the shame and embarrassment that I felt for how haunt tactics dissolved from under me. This is in no way a sob story or excuses, this is the truth. I’ve always made it known that I wasn’t an artist, sculptor, welder or engineer. I was merely the face of the company who answered the phone and emails, also leading the sales team at tradeshows. After the 2012 TW haunt tactics head artist and sculptor walked away and left Stan and I to finish the rest of the orders. He had his reasons, which later became very evident as the company collapsed. One being told he was not needed and he was dragging the company down. This couldn’t be further from the truth. If it wasn’t for this artist none of what we did would be possible. Ultimately animatronics killed us, mainly because the person responsible for the work had every excuse not to do it. I was told time and time again, these orders of the 2 Haunts that were shorted in this mess were about to go out. That’s why on 2 different occasions I was instructed to email Tim from HH letting him know just that. On October 16 I went to the shop and found everything gone, pistons, molds,controllers,steel and everything else that could be boxed up. Stan informed me he could not do it anymore and took everything to try and sell for refunds. This was not my decision, I tried very hard to keep this afloat and at least ship the orders late rather than not at all, but he was the account holder and proprietor of HT so I was told not to worry and he was taking care of the customers who were owed. Stupidly I put my faith in that pledge to later find out all of his contact info had changed and nothing was done. I will not sit hear and say I am innocent. I should have realized what was going on and took care of it. Now I am taking strides to right the wrong. I want to be part of this industry and help repair the damaged done by getting those refunds out. I will be in contact with the 2 haunts and try to come up with a plan to pay them their money. I ask that all who knows me believe me in this and I deeply apologize for it taking me this long to respond. I know the heat is going to pile on after this is seen and I accept that, just no that HT was taken from me and I will do what I have to make it right.
Some of you saw on FB a page for “Haunt Amour” very similar to what the old logo used to be. The former head artist to haunt tactics has contacted me now that that a certain someone is out of the picture to try and rebuild the right way so we can first and foremost pay the haunts owed back. I Hope all of this can be resolved and rebuilt, the process of doing so is being started now. The only thing hindering that is getting the molds back. I’ve reach out to Stan trying to get the stuff back in hope he still has them, but to no avail. Either way I will do what’s necessary and now know others will not be responsible for their actions.
