This is pretty cool. The CGI is really neat.

The one in Bayville Long Island is only about 20 minutes from us. They opened for Halloween 2006. They really did a great job on it. We especially loved the look of the outside of the haunted house since it was a duplicate of the Psycho movie house. They certainly spent a great deal of money on the attraction. We'll be going back this year for sure.

Woohoo! The guys I'm working for made some of the stuff you see in that video (like the Rock Monster). They've made a few things for Ben Armstrong at Netherworld, and for a lot of the other big name haunts as well. Being on the construction side of some of these big high-end animations and props gives you a new appreciation for just how developed the haunt industry is.

I still remember my first pro haunt; I was in grade school, volunteering at the local Jaycees haunt. Highest tech there was the strobe light. Man, how things have changed.

I saw that before, it's a great piece, good advertising for commercial attractions all around the country.

Revenant, I take it you work for CV and HV with Mr Dan Faupel?

I thought that was mean to present her with a "bad actress" award. One of my pet peeves like telling people not to sing. It tears someone else down so someone else can feel better. Okay, off my soap box.

I love the cgi effects! Someday they'll make animated bodies even more realistic instead of so jerky.

Yep. Temporarily, anyway. After we get this current project shipped off to Russia next week I may be out of work. Unless we get the contract from Knotts Scary Farm, that should keep me there at least another week or two. *sigh*
Time to look for a regular job.
