Haunted Attraction Network

Joining us all the way from South Pasadena in California, we have Jennifer Bandich, Scott Peterson and Russell Eaton from Evil Twin Studios. Evil Twin studios will be producing the chilling haunted attraction Ward 13 this year; WARD 13 (1020 El Centro Street) in South Pasadena, CA opens October 9th. The haunted attraction will be open Fridays and Saturdays from 7:00 to 11:00 PM; October 9, 10, 16, 17, 23, 24, 30, and 31. Tickets are available for $15 online (www.eviltwinstudios.com) or $17 at the door. Proceeds from WARD 13 will benefit the South Pasadena Educational Foundation (SPEF). It is interesting to note that while professional haunters are at the helm, the entire team (producers, scare actors, etc) are volunteers! So if you are in California and want to help the South Pasadena Educational Foundation out, check out their website. For complete show notes, go to: http://www.hauntedattractionspodcast.com/e213

Joining us today is Drew Ailes, Chief of Halloween Enthusiasm at FrightProps. FrightProps is, in my opinion, one of the most prolific vendors in the industry; I personally have used them for my haunts many times.

FrightProps was founded by Doug Anderson, but not before a little shifting around in life. He started in tech, later sold that company and started a haunt called The Dig right outside of Denver in Broomfield. Doug recognized a need for, basically, a vendor made for haunters by haunters; after relocating the business to Bloomington, Minnesota, he gathered a small team and began build FrightProps into what it is today.

FrightProps produces a lot in house but is also a reseller for many other vendors.

GIVEAWAY

Win a devilishly cute Gremlin from the owner’s office! Doug will even sign him upon request. Giveaway ends the first weekend in October 2015.

As a special gift to our listeners, Landin is offering a FREE Gantom One for Haunters! Enter by texting “GANTOM” to 33444 or by visiting: http://www.hauntedattractionspodcast.com/Gantom

Joining us today is Landin Fuseman, Marketing Director at Gantom Lighting. Gantom, formerly Darklight, was founded in spring of 2010 as a manufacturer of special effects lighting equipment catering to the themed attraction industry. They specialize in illumination of low-light and space constrained environments where traditional theatrical luminaries are not suitable. In late 2014, after experiencing extraordinary growth over several years, Darklight re-branded to Gantom; a combination of “Gan,” our founder’s last name, and “phantom,” which reflects their humble Halloween lighting beginnings.

Discussed in this podcast:

-Brief history of Gantom Lighting & products

-Some insight into the Gantom Lighting tour

-Gantom’s new infrared Zombie game (which premiered at ScareLA), and what it means for the future of interactivity in haunts

-Takeaway: Why Filters Matter
