It is tragic really. <br /><br />I wish it were not true, but "we" are not the market that traditional haunted houses are after. :(<br /><br />Someday when I have mountains of cash I would really love to prove that theory wrong.

It was a night time thing. At one point they all had us pick fragrant leaves, might have been eucalyptus, and explained how the oils repel various insects and animals.<br /><br />At one point, off in the distance, up a hill, we saw a werewolf. By the time we approached the area he was gone, but it was a very effective scare, it's stuck in my memory.<br /><br />Through the rest of the trail we never saw the werewolf again, but we always half expected him to run across our path.Mantan Calaverashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01024705691966479703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784285653010648547.post-86469789147881557192010-09-24T13:53:07.057-04:002010-09-24T13:53:07.057-04:00I've always thought the same thing.

Like a dim orange glow from behind a tree, or a ghostly figure moving in the breeze . . . the "haunting" you could also do without actors.Ghastlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392915226985112451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784285653010648547.post-82105935530095222252010-09-24T10:12:53.538-04:002010-09-24T10:12:53.538-04:00I had a similar idea once, but it involved having ...I had a similar idea once, but it involved having multiple actors all dressed in the same costume,who would appear in different areas of the outdoor haunt.

With chain saws!!!<br /><br />I've always thought that the subtle was far more terrifying than the in-your-face stuff. Take the Blair Witch Project...it was based on suspense and the unknown, and it was (at least to me) one of the scariest movies I've ever seen. I would definitely think this would be a truly wonderful haunted attraction.Mr. Macabrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14885918409138932986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784285653010648547.post-48161401863242807622010-09-23T22:54:17.550-04:002010-09-23T22:54:17.550-04:00Let's do it...Ahrasapa farms Bates motel in pa...Let's do it...Ahrasapa farms Bates motel in pa makes a killing every year and it stinks. <br /><br />Your idea sounds like a mix of The Village and the Mexico alien scene in Signs..people would be messing their pants!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784285653010648547.post-37446061038049141262010-09-23T22:41:56.206-04:002010-09-23T22:41:56.206-04:00That is a fantastic idea.

I've had similar thoughts before--ideas for haunted attractions that were more about suspense and atmosphere than jump scares, with darkly-clothed actors keeping their distance. I would love to see it happen!JRBarneshttp://dumpysaurus.deviantart.comnoreply@blogger.com
