I'm relativly new here, but i had to say "No, you are not too sick, can anyone ever be?" My husband and i got married 12 years ago this Halloween, we only wish we could have had a wedding like that. Instead, we got up at 8:00am, went to teh court house, got married and went to work at our video store. of course we did have time to get dressed in our zombie costumes that we had made. And we had decorated the store with all sorts of Halloween finery, including a big rubber spider in the center of the ceiling that we could drop on top of our costumers' heads as they walked by. My husband and i love Halloween so much, we leave most of our decorations up year round, makes us feel more at home *grin* I also have to say that so far, i love this list, it seems very friendly and everyone has so many great ideas! Are there any Southern California members out there that have had the pleasure of going to Knott's Berry Farm's Halloween Haunt? We go every year, it's the greatset place in the world at Halloween!

The use of live actors isn't *usually* a problem unless you're running a mega-haunt for mega-profits. In that case, you want to automate to mitigate the salary costs of your staff. In other words, Disney and Spooky World and similar attractions have this concern. Those of us who run mini-haunts (be it for Jaycees, churches, PTAs - or just for the pure unadulterated entertainment factor) don't ord- inarily concern ourselves with the need for live actors. In my case, having people assist me is a major plus. I have a core group of Cool Ghoul assistants (about 6 or 8), and pick up 1 or 2 new volunteers each year. Once I've got a volunteer, I've got 'em for the long haul because they have so much fun, they want to come back for more. Plus, I prey on their conscience/social responsibility... ;) If you find yourself short on helpers, spend a buck or two and spring for pizza and beer.

What did you use to do the sequencing of events, and what did you use for the bang/puff of smoke? Did you attach the dracula to the door to be pulled upright as the cover opens, or have seperate air cylinders for dracula and the cover. Tell me more!!

There's more than one way to do this. My preference would be compressed air. That can give you some lee- way on how to adapt your effect (slow vs. fast open- ing). I believe there's a category called Compressed Air in the archives. You could also use a small motor to slowly open and close the door...but that's more limited. Another effect occurred to me. You can have the entire coffin shake a great deal with a little effort. I've seen an item that looks like an old book (though it's made of plastic and doesn't look all that realistic) which shakes violently when you go to pick it up. It's battery operated and has a piece on the back that's on a pivot and that gives the "book" the space it needs to rock one way or the other when activated. The motor is loud, but adds to the startling effect. - Stu stuart.mcintire@uage.com From owner-halloween-l@majordomo.netcom.com Thu Aug 29 14:04:58 1996 Date: Thu, 29 Aug 1996 13:58:05 -0700 (PDT) To: halloween-l@netcom.com From: Katherine Townsend Subject: Halloween Store Reply-To: halloween-l@netcom.com Status: O X-Status: Just an FYI since there seem to be so many people in the area...

The poof was from a commertial fogger that was designed to Poof. The lights were controled by the computer consul. The rapid opening and closing of the coffin lid was done with a dule piston, just the computer opening and closing valves rapidly. Anymore questions??

Mount the fan on the bottom blowing air UP across the bulb. Cut some vents on the top. If light is projecting from the slots, cover at an angle with metal. (angle like the vents found in houses.) Cover the fan with a grate of some kind to keep objects from getting into it.

Add one more. >I guess you answered my question about licensing and Tom Savini is not any >part of your product. I, for one, would be *much* more inclined to purchase items that are not only inspired, but legally licensed and DESIGNED by Savini. Inspirations, after all, often range far and wide from the originals. If I'm told something is inspired by a particular source, I take it with a grain of salt. The product (not necessarily MSP's product) may be poorly designed, poorly executed, inherently flawed. Or it may be a potential trademark/ copyright/patent infringement if it is beautifully designed, executed, and a direct copy of someone else's work. Take a look at Tad's Red Jack mask. Presuming the one I saw on his web page is the one he mentioned, I'd call it a design that may have been remotely inspired by Nightmare Before Christmas, but in no way a design from the original movie. Not even close. So if any- one were to try to sell me that mask as a Nightmare original, I'd feel like someone was trying to rip me off. But if someone said the artist/designer was inspired by the movie, I'd take a look, decide it's not to my taste, and move along (which I did). Like with the Savini situation, if a top-notch line of Halloween masks and costumes from Nightmare were produced (and legally licensed), I'd be in line in a heartbeat. Inspirations/homages to originals are nice, but not the end all and be all. - Stu stuart.mcintire@uage.com From owner-halloween-l@majordomo.netcom.com Fri Aug 30 08:17:29 1996 To: halloween-l , Michael Marcrum From: William E Rompala Date: 30 Aug 96 11:00:39 Subject: Re: Big lamp/heat dissapation Reply-To: halloween-l@netcom.com Status: O X-Status: Kathy Wrote: >and I will let you in on something...Never touch and bulb with your bare >hands!!

I free-lanced at various theatres during college, as well as was Lighting Director for my college (best work/study program I had!) and stage lamps are even more finicky. If you did get the oils on one of those bulbs, the first time you pumped them up they would explode. All bulbs react with hotspots: When you change a light bulb in your home, just grab a sock and slide your hand into it- makeshift glove- it helps. BTW..... How many Halloween-L members does it take to change a light bulb? a1) None, it's dead and we like it that way! a2) Change it? No!!

Andy, I agree, but as I've mentioned many times in the past, my E-Mail program does not show the originator of the messages. It says the sender is halloween-l@netcom.com I never know who is sending the messages unless they put their name and E-Mail address at the bottom of their note. I've practically begged people to type this info for the benefit of those of us who do not see the sender's name. There has been many a time I've wanted to avoid sending messages to the list when responding to someone. Too often, the list has degenerated into a chat line. Blehhh! Unfortunately, few people take my request at face value. So, I'm posting to the list instead of just you, Andy, to try to reinforce ONE MORE TIME that it would be to every- one's benefit to add your name and E-Mail address (and for private responses to go to the ORIGINATOR).
