Signs of the Season...Haunted Actor Calls

You can always tell when halloween is getting close when you see the call for haunt actors from one of our local haunts....I really dig the theme this year! A little Dead and Breakfast is just what the doctor ordered. Hope they deliver this year!

BackWoods Haunted House presents THE HARVEST INN .....

CASTING CALL NEEDING volunteer ACTORS 16 years and up and makeup artist pm me if you think you would be interested ......... add us on Facebook to get all updates..... By the notes, votes, and messages I got ......This years theme will be ....."The Harvest Inn".... 

Stress from work/home can bring you down and everyone needs a little tlc, right?

You find yourself driving, looking for that perfect getaway.. You drive up to what appears to be a mom and pops bed and breakfast. "This is the spot", you think to yourself. Looking forward to that weekend rest.. The sign out front reads, "The Harvest Inn", but there's a dark part to this bed and breakfast! What appears to be a cozy weekend getaway joint is actually an abandon slaughter house called Hog Jaw Meats! 

You have now become part of this years harvest! After all, hill people gotta eat too...right? 

Welcome to The Harvest Inn... Dead and Breakfast, where the orange juice is hand squeezed  and the sausage is so fresh...it was screaming for help less than an hour ago!

Attention to detail can be MURDER!

I think attention to detail is a big thing for Halloween. Like in our bloody guest bathroom :

There is a red rum picture on the wall....

That way when you look in the mirror to wash your hands....

You see it's true meaning in the mirror right over your head....this is good for a "aha!" moment and for a quick photo op to tweet/status what you are doing.

Wicked Woods Cemetery 2012 Preview.

I thought I would kick off the Countdown to Halloween off right with a sneak peek at the Cemetery as it is shaping up for the big night. I have never been so behind on Halloween in my life. We always have the inside of the house completed by the first week of September which leaves me getting the Cemetery in shape that last weekend of Sept. Not this year. We hope to be 90% complete by next weekend (October 6th) leaving nothing but actual party prep and projects till Halloween.

I have to be honest with you all. I am shocked at how much Halloween stuff I have collected over the years. It is a little overwhelming when we start due to the sheer volume. After we get in the swing of things, my love of the season takes over and all that is left in the dust.

There are 3 things I am excited about for this years Wicked Woods Cemetery.

• MASSIVE upgrade to lighting. Last year I started the upgrade and was able to finish it this year. I hope it translates in the atmosphere of the haunt. 
• Upgrade in camera. Thanks to M we should (I repeat SHOULD) have some better shots, but I still can't find the perfect settings to truly capture the colors and creepiness. Any hints or critiques out there would be GREATLY appreciated!
• Populations. The Wicked Woods has SEVERAL new residence and that number grows daily! It should be a regular necropolis by All Hallows Eve. 

The sad thing is I will be tinkering, changing, moving, and adding to the cemetery every single day till Halloween. Even then we bring out 4 animtronic creatures, 7 dummies, about 30 pumpkins, 20 LED candles, and close to 50 skulls on Halloween night itself so this is a true sneak peek! Hope you enjoyed it cause we are all worn out! Even our newest addition to the family Mr Gizmo.
