October 19th 2007

Last weekend went pretty well.  Reviews from the guests were very good and the actors seemed to have a good time too.

I did not get 2 of my pneumatic props done in time for the first weekend's crowd and we needed a bit more sound in the haunt, so I went out there at 9:30 this morning to try to finish up the past few days work.  I ended up at the haunt until well after 10:00 this evening...  There was a lot of clean up and prep work for this evenings re-opening.

The latest addition to the haunt is this darling little furry creature...  A monster cat from hell.  It's hiding out in the hallways of the haunt now waiting to take a bite out of unsuspecting guests legs. I'll do a complete write up some time after Halloween on the entire layout of this years haunt, but for now it must remain somewhat of a secret...
I will be taking the weekdays "off" to do some chainsaw carving (one of my chainsaw carved pumpkins is pictured to the right) and building a few props that were special ordered and need to be delivered before Halloween.

Tomorrow I am headed out to the haunt around noon to get things ready for the evening.  I have one last pneumatic scare to install to prepare for the big weekend next weekend.

The newspaper came out and did an interview with me.  I have been keeping my eyes out for the article.  I'll try to post portions of it (or at least link to it) here when it comes out.
