Haunted Attraction Network

(Not this episode is an excerpt) If you've ever wanted to carve your own tombstone, receive feedback and help on your carving, or show off your skills- the time has come! Hot Wire Foam Factory & The Haunted Attractions Podcast Network are running a Hot Wire How To and Tombstone Contest- ending November 1st.

What is it?
It's both a guided community tutorial AND contest.
If you've never touched foam before (neither have I), you can receive weekly Saturday tips from Hot Wire Foam Factory on where to start.
If you're looking for feedback, to help others, or just to talk about designs- join our Facebook group moderated by Hot Wire Foam Factory! We'll take you every step of the way until you submit your finished tombstone at the end of the month.
If you already know what to do, then enter your tombstone in the contest! Send entries to [email protected]

Contest you say?
1. Everyone who enters gets an equal chance to win the random drawing, which is a Pro Model 4-in-1 Kit ($224.95 retail value!) from Hot Wire Foam Factory (http://hotwirefoamfactory.com/K47V_Pro_Model_4Tool_Vari_Heat_Kit.html)
Includes: Carrying Case, Sculpting Tool, Freehand Router, 6 inch Pro Knife, Engraving Tool, Variable Pro Power Station and Instructional DVD
2. The entries will also be judged, and the winner will receive: $100 Gift Certificate & their own page in the Hot Wire Foam Factory Online Artist Gallery!

Is there a cost to enter?
No.

Is there a reason not to participate?
No.

What if I'm a professional carver and don't need to learn anymore?
Enter to win the gift certificate and, more importantly, your own artist page. You can also give feedback in the Facebook group to help others!
If you tag Hot Wire Foam Factory & Haunted Attractions Podcast on Facebook, we'll also give your entry a shoutout.

What if I've never carved foam before and I'm ashamed of my utter lack of skill?
Me too. It's okay- we'll get through this together. Shaina and I will be sharing our progress in the group.

WOAH! That's too much information. Tell me what to DO RIGHT NOW!

In the haunted attraction business, we get to make great (and terrifying) memories for a cornucopia of people every season. Whether from the security booth, back door, ticket counter, or our own little square inside the haunt- the feeling of watching a patron's excitement at jump scenes and awe from elaborate details is downright addicting. It's part of the reason so many haunters even keep going! And now, Factory of Terror in New England USA has found a way to share this addiction with guests who visit their attraction.

Nathan and Carlos from Factory of Terror recently came on "Haunting the Globe" to discuss their 20th year and how the new 'Dare to Scare' app will be integrated into all 3 locations to add an exciting new interactive dimension for guests.
