Introduce Yourself...

[Duke of Darkness]

Okay, I am finally getting around to doing this. A detailed explanation of how I got started in the haunt industry can be found elsewhere on these forums, so I will keep this to the basics.

I am an attorney who is trying to transition into full time dark entertainment -- which is my term for running haunted attractions, performing theatrical ghost hunts and seances, telling ghost stories, and most anything else that combines magic and things that go bump in the night.

I have been involved in the haunt industry for over 20 years now. While my greatest love is -- and always will be -- haunt acting, I have designed and built haunts, managed attractions for others, and run my own show. I have been involved in both charity and pro haunts.

I am a partner in the newly formed Lords of Chaos, LLC and we will be putting on our first haunt this year in the vicinity of Portland, Oregon.

My main haunt interest is using magical illusions in a haunt setting. My non-dark entertainment interest include backpacking, full contact fighting (MMA), writing ghost stories, keeping reptiles (who I really want to work into my shows), and coaching my son's wrestling team.

Always interested in talking haunts and brainstorming scary things.

My name is Noah Wullkotte and I have been in the haunt industry for 5 years now. I have always had a fascination for all that is scary and haunted since a young age. But I had to take that fascination a step further so I decided to create a website known as Cincinnati Haunt reviews. It would eventually become known as City Blood-Ohio Haunt Reviews (www.ohioshaunted.com). It includes reviews, news, info, pics, articles, haunt directory and much more on Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana haunts. It's the largest haunt review site on the internet today. Every year I visit and review 50 or more haunts and in a lifetime I have been to over 200. I've organized haunt media events, covered media events and hopefully one day I'll have my own convention centering around the Halloween and haunt industry. I've been quoted in HauntWorld Magazine's Top Haunts article and have been interviewed for the Middletown Journal here in Ohio.

Recently I have come out with a website called The Halloween Database (www.halloweendatabase.com). It's the internet's premier haunted directory that includes Halloween, horror, the paranormal, gothic industry, haunted attractions and so much more. So if you own a company that is related to Halloween or horror in anyway please feel free to add your listing today!!

My name is Kimberly Lynn Cole and my partner in crime and I

My name is Kimberly Lynn Cole and my partner in crime Leo Zemke and I Run SCREAM FARM here in the SCARY buckle on the bible belt in Jones,
Alabama. We have one son Dylan Cole Zemke who is also an actor. I started out as a horror actress and Scream Queen in such
films as Body Snatchers, Cremains, Search for the Beast (BIGFOOT TERROR) Horrortales .666, a cameo in Sea Creatures from Outerspace,
Mark of the Astro-Zombies, Dead Clowns and Psycho Santa I and II.
Its been a blast doing horror films and I worked for ten years at
the Montgomery Zoo in Alabama bringing to life the character I created
Mirricalla the Velvet, Vicious, Volumptious, Vampyress working hard
doing sets for them, being the mistress of the Cemetary Scene and
even doing their commercials but after reaching our goal of finally
having Elephants at the Montgomery Zoo I decided it was time to
move on to something else, I wanted to make money for Children's
Charities. So we moved to the country got a house and 7 acres and
SCREAM FARM was born. Halloween 2006 was our first official year
open to the public we had done private parties for three years and
after many setbacks we opened and turned a nice check over to
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, we are small but we have
a BIG HEART and we are going to grow.

Our back story is inbred, cannibel, murdering ex carnival owning
freaks that have escaped incarceration by hiding in an abandoned
mine in Jones, Alabama.

I just wanted to say Hello to everyone and say any advice is
gleefully accepted.
Thanks
Kimberly Lynn Cole Zemke and Leo Zemke and Dylan Cole Zemke

9 years ago I started the Company Gore Galore.
It has become the commander of all my time and energies.
OUr primary product lines have become Oversize Creature Costumes, static zombies called "My Pet Zombies", and the "Sounds of Gore" CD series.
