Asylum haunt

[Jim Warfield]

I am way too funny?
I've barely scratched the circus!

I had one tour tonight for a family from the local campground, Mom, Dad, Older Sister, young Brother.
The boy was nervous so I tested his bravery and his humor at the same time.
Humor replaces bravery when need be.
"The psychic said there are 37 ghosts in this house and some people see strange looking ghosts but I think maybe they have a mental predisposition to see certain things and maybe this is like one of those ink-blot tests? For instance YOU might have a problem if you would happen to see a ghost of "TONY THE TIGER!"
I shout as a 3 foot tall likeness of Tony the Tiger quickly appears infront of them then vanishes.
The kid was laughing too.

Scratched the circus?

Jim, yes, you are way too funny.

And it must have been a FLEA circus if it required scratching!

If she doesn't, I have an entire daylight video walk thru that I took that year.

Katie, figures that year, I took video of every house except for my factory house with all my pneumatics.

Katie,

I will see what I can do about Diana cutting that part of the video out so I can put it up on you tube. I will post a link here when I get it done.

you might know where to find these maybe not.... but if memory serves me Dapper Cadaver.com has allot of cool stuff... I.e. x-rays, mouth openers, etc. theres allot of cool stuff out there on the net. One idea that I had for a scene is to build a cage that is up on one side of a wall with a few crazies inside. they escape as the patrons walk by one side of the metal cage opens slamming the cage wall down just over the patrons heads. This allows the crazy actors to run around on that wall and onto some of the cage ceiling across some of the haunt.... dunno....sounded cool to me.... ( Anyways ) a asylum is kickaxx if done right.... post some photos when ya get it done or better yet video from the year when the season is over....

The thought just occurred to me, has anyone ever done asylum acting portraying the meek, insecure patient who remains institutionalised because they are hiding from the rest of the world behind those bars and walls?
Who knows, it might even create a more reastic base/backround for the crazy potentially violent actors?
Of course what is "acting"?
Real acting isn't just pretending to be someone else(or something else) it is also showing change from one mood or persona to another and keeping it as realistic as you can do this.
So the meek might be metamorphing into something else opening up a whole playground of fun!
Insecure people I know hide IN bars, self-medicated, as long as the money holds out or somebody is buying.

Favorite character

One of my favorite "insane" character was a completely silent one that wrung her hands constantly and mumbled the lords prayer under her breath. I would get really close and make people uncomfortable. The other was a mumbler as well, I walked with slow, heavy steps, twitching scratching and when someone got too close, I raised my bloody high heel shoe and screeched and ran after them - I miss Agnes... *sniff
But short story long, lol, I think Jim may be onto an actor idea~!
