O.K. this is my first attempt at something like this so I will try to make it as easy as possible for all. I guess I should start by telling a little about myself so you all know who your dealing with.
Obviously I go by the name of Haunt Wizard and I am one of the owners of "The Haunted Courtyard" my brother being the other owner. Both of our wives and kids help out with this thing as it has grown over the now 7 years to be almost more then we can handle! Each year we add and change the haunt to better suit our needs and make our patrions want more. If it is always the same then they get bored, at least that is our philosphy. Of course this year is no different as we are adding almost 300 sq.ft. to the haunt that is already almost 1600 sq. ft. now. These measurements do not include the entrance and exit areas. We have been working on animations for the last three to four years and are slowly building up the amount of electronics we have. I have to say getting things to move realisticly with electronics that are cheap is very difficult.
More posts and pictures will be available at later dates as the projects develop. For now though here is the list of projects that are currently being worked on for this years addition to "The Haunted Courtyard":
Animated hangman
Animated Werewolf
Peppers Ghost
Axeworthy Ghost
Above are the things currently in the works, would like to add more but time and money might be a problem if you know what I mean.................but you never know!
We are also making more tombstones and adding some more details to current props we already have such as a table for the guillotine (more to come).
Pictures will be posted and tutorials will be added as time permits. There will definatly be more to this blog as the time goes on!
Happy Haunting!
Haunt Wizard
Update: If you have been following my blogs then you already know about the "Hangman". If not then you can go to another blog of mine called "bulking out a dummy cheap" and you will see the progress that has been made on it.
