Alas poor Yorick….got a light?
Do you need to set off your cob webbed pump organ with a little extra creepy atmosphere? Need to add just a touch of light but don’t want to spoil the mood with ambience with that cheesy little table lamp you’ve used the past three years? Well here’s your chance to fill that void with a fantastic skull candelabra. Taz, Tom Wendel to his mortal friends, will lead you step by step through this demo that will result in a great all round prop that can be used practically anywhere in your haunt. Whether it be on a grand piano, or in a dark dank dungeon, this versatile candelabra will light up your life…or your death if you prefer.

Cum on feel the noise…
Oh you’re gonna feel something alright. Something wicked….Something sinister…Something evil. Our old friend Virgil Franklin will show us how we can make our own custom creepy sound FX for our haunts using freeware and shareware programs that are available to anyone with a computer. You won’t want to miss this insightful demo. Listen closely and you will learn a few of the well guarded secrets of the Ayatollah of Rock N Rolla, the Sultan of Sonic Seduction, the one and only ‘Master of the Ethermuse’, Virgil Franklin. Attendees will get access to a special Haunt Audio 201 website for their use after this workshop.

This live demo may include splatter, gore, and FX so you may not want to wear your best suit.

Crispy Critters
Careful….don’t let your corpse get too close to that flame. You may have more than just rotting flesh to deal with. Brian and Diana Parrott of Savage Sideshow will lead us through their own home grown receipt for making severely scorched skin for all of our 3rd degree props. This demo will make your freshly toasted critters look like they need to be in the advanced burn unit when you get finished. Using common household ingredients, you will learn how to make your props look like they came directly from a three alarm fire. All the aloe in the world will not help them by the time you are done. I’ll take mine well done please.

Everybody needs a hand once in a while.
Do you ever find yourself trying to do one little thing by yourself, but there’s just no way to hold everything in place? Maybe you just need an extra hand. Well now you can always have one. Bourno will show you how easy it is to get a hand when you need it. Oh sure, it may not be able to help you up out of your chair, or help with those chores you’ve been putting off since last winter, but it will come in HANDy in your haunt. You will learn how to use flex wax, plastic, and foam to make wonderful recreations of your own, or anyone else’s hand that may be lying around…like your friend that came over to eat your snacks and watch a movie only to pass out in your recliner after he drank all your beer.

Leaves of three…let it be…leaves of four….OH MY GOD!!!
Are your petunias pathetically dull? Or maybe your daffodils not dastardly enough for you? Need a little mean in your greenery? Then add a little gore to your garden this year. Ironman will show you just how to get the best scare for your shrubbery….more terror for your topiary…more fright from your flowers. A rose is a rose, but after this demo folks will not just be afraid of a little thorn prick. You will learn how, with just a few minor alterations of course, your potted plants can come alive and shed that pansy appeal that you guests think are so cute and harmless.

Just another brick in the wall…

Skullduggery at it’s best.
Do you yearn to get aHEAD in the world, but find that you lack the tools you need? Ladies, do you want a quick and easy answer to your man whenever he asks for a little head? Then let Noah Fentz come to your aid and show you just how you can produce fantastic skull reproductions without breaking the bank. He will show us how to create the mother mold using latex and cheesecloth, and by using two part foam or plaster, pour exact duplicates for your next boneyard display. Noah will also lead us through the painting and finishing process to give them that weathered and freshly dug up look.

Roll out the barrel…
Your ship is ready to set sail…your crew of blood thirsty scallywags are all on board…but your first mate comes and whispers to you that your hold is out of rum. No self respecting pirate could, or would sail the seven seas without his rum ration. Why there would be a mutiny for sure. There’s no need to fear of being strung up by the yard arm. You can easily come up with barrel after barrel to stow beneath your bulkhead. Ironman will show you how to convert readily available 55 gallon steel drums, or even 5 gallon cans, into classic wooden casks that any pirate would be proud of.
