Written & illustrated by the author of the true ghost story book, "Dry Fork Campfire Tales", this tutorial details 17 years experience that began with small venues in socials and hayrides to large haunts both outdoor and indoor, which included the largest privately owned indoor haunted house in Virginia for a season that lead to advisement of 3 different visiting haunt owners. The book is loaded with over 30 original drawings/diagrams and over a dozen room concepts that include 3 'garage haunts' which give patrons an entire haunted house experience without ever moving! Here you will find tips on permits, promo, scare psychology, and instructions to build highly professional props and sets from common materials. Also included is a history of Halloween that details the inherent need of humans to be scared, which begins with the Stone Age and evolves through the customs of civilizations like Egypt, Rome, Ireland, and even America. This book is intended for any novice with an interest in designing a first haunt or an experienced professional looking for a fresh perspective or a haunted house enthusiast simply wanting a fun read. Despite one unflattering review from a man who leaves negatives for almost everyone, this book has prompted beginners and experts alike to contact me directly for advice via the email I provide in the book.
