What or Who showed the best NEW products this year at TW?

[HordeOfUndead]

Brutal Rust...we can't wait to get our order and mess around with that awesome product!

And another new vendor this year, Sinister Signs, had AWESOME signs. We bought a couple but they were all excellent. Owner/artist was a great guy too!

Dark Raven...as always, phenomenal props. So great to know those guys are from Buffalo, NY!

Brian,

So what was the asking price for the distortions demon made for Benetts Curse? In the pic from the show it doesn't have the scare built in? Also do you know how much the wheelchair old man cost?

Thanks
DA

Dark,

The one at the show does not include the scare effect or the detailed room, that was custom for us for the show. There was also a flesh version there as you enter the convention. I don't have a photo but I'm sure it's posted somewhere. It's a very cool piece.

Thanks,
Allan

I personally don't think scenic design is something that qualifies at all... we are talking products you can purchase. When we talk about Dead House they were trying sell items and showcasing those items through detail. That was great.

You want scenic design I use to build the most elaborate booths you've ever seen... and it didn't sell anything. I had millions of people lined up to take photos but no one bought anything ... I think the focus on the topic is products.

Selling scenic design is a service that can be provided. What did you see that you liked that you actually bought. I think our display of scenic design we put into our haunted house itself rather than a booth. If you came to the Darkness you already know what we can do scenically. I wonder if we should create a booth next year that blows you away... something mansion style. I'll build the ULTIMATE themed booth if someone will buy it in advance. I'll build something so freakin wild you would swear we stole it off a movie set... if someone wants that done contact me and I'll do it and after the show you can drive home with it.

Let me know.

Please don't take this as an insult, because that is not the intent. But why would anyone want to buy your booth? Are you saying you would basically build a room for the show floor? Or do you think someone would literally just want your booth for like their home or something? I mean, I know there are people that buy up old movie sets and display them at their houses.

I was really impressed with Distoritions this year. The large monster on the end is going on my November

Tentacle Table

Show: $3650
Retail: $3950

Show prices honored through March 31st 2012.

I actually thought it would be a lot more so I didn't even ask the price. Now that I know what the price is I want to add it to the budget.

Immortal Masks also had some great hoods this year.

[HauntedPaws]

How much is the tentacle table?

[Brianmudgett]

So I have a truck load of Scare Factory Props in my haunt. Not one has broken down.

Poison Props was on fire this year. Was impressed with almost everything he brought. Great prices.

Dark Ravens new anacondas and Tentacle Table was very cool.

I was really impressed with Distoritions this year. The large monster on the end is going on my November list.

Frightprops teddy bear gathered interest.

Gore Galore hit it out of the park. I ordered their slaughter house package which was a truck load of gore. They had a bunch of new great items.

Pale nights is inspiring me to go zombie next November.

Personally I thought compared to past years this year had a bunch of new items. In fact I bought less, but it was harder because there were so many great things to choose from.

Hey all, I just joined the forums but I've followed the industry for years! I didn't go to TW but my buddy here in Tampa told me about Distortions prop where something is banging on a door and then you get sprayed! I love stuff like that. Very similar to the Zombie prop that Distortions had a year or two ago. That company is awesome! Did anyone else see the prop I'm talking about?

Money votes/talks

Well my $ voted on Distortions Shocktronic - Shock Therapy. My customers LOVED their previous Gargoyle Shock and it has not missed a beat in the 2 years. My $ also voted on Poison's 3 head dropper (yeah it was simple...but I have a spot for it) . There is also a Poison drop portrait zombie headed my way. About Scarefactory breakage: Well I have had Scarefactory Slayer on the Pediment, Impaler, Scissor Serpeant, Tombstone Reaper, and two skelrectors. I also bought "used" a SF corpsolator and Floating Reaper. NEVER have I had a Scarefactory prop break on me. But I do a silly thing called maintanance and lubrication as well. It is a silly habit I do on my other equipment that comes in "JD Green". Thats why I have tractors form 1960's still working and my main tractor is from early 1980's. I expect some year to see SF new rig that drops props down onto people in my field.

I wasn't impressed with the costumes at the show thought Global fear and haunt tactics didn't look as cool in person, not bad but not great either IMO. Haunt tactics are too much like Spookywoods fx but less flexible in theme all too often. Global fear's paint work was just OK.

Dead House designs, poison props, dark raven, Scarefactory and gore galore really brought it! I wanted to talk to Kip about his rust paint. Is it really as easy as brushing it on for a rust look?

My vote goes for Cutting Edge Scenic Design, Dead House Designs, Global Fear Enterprises and Dark Raven. I for one am SO tired of all the props and animations we see EVERY year. I was SO happy to see more emphasis on scenic details and design/design elements. -Tyler
