Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Here are a few more. I can't wait til my vacation starting Friday when I can finally focus 100% on the haunt until we open. I also can't wait until my photographers get some good shots of these new things. The I phone just doesn't cut it for good photos, lol! Awesome for a phone though.

New covered bridge.


Inside the bridge.


The giant 4 story cactus is getting there. More work, on the face, sharp spines and white highlighting with a spray gun to go. The photos don't do it justice, at night when patrons come around the corner it will look insane.

This is what is on the back side of the giant cactus head. Grain silo/ ticket booth below. Entrance into Death Junction.


Stencils for the ticket booth.


Start of the giant train tunnel facade.


Awesome looking sign done by Bill Kennedy, the circus ringleader.

Thanks Allen!

I can't take credit for the gypsy wagon. Rae Enslin, our costume director and other volunteers did that.
I think it came out great! I love having talented people on the team doing their own projects. It's totally different than what I would do and it gives the haunt some good variety. I designed that giant cactus looking head but it's a team effort many hands went into the building of this. I don't want to show too much of it until it's finished but it looks insane when you come around the corner of the trail even in this unfinished state. There is a mock up a few pages back it will have giant horns sticking out of it made from foam and painted white.

Eric you are my hero- great looking work.

Not too much time to post nowadays but here are a few more.

Thanks! I was curious.

What awesome progress! What quality! In a few years you're literally going to have a Halloween theme park!

Awesome work as always! You know I'm a big fan!

You said you would need to put in a sprinkler if you made a solid roof. How many feet is it in your locality before you need a sprinkler?

[Pumpkin King]

Damn this is awesome!!!

Eric, your work is inspirational and so unique, you have a clear passion for what you're doing. Thank you so much for posting pictures!

[elowther]

Tired as hell. I figured I would post these tonight or I never would. Enjoy.

We got the blade mounted.


View as you walk around the corner.


Roof made to look like rotted boards caving in on you. They are wired up. I would need a sprinkler if I made a solid roof.



The body bags are looking cool as well.
