Haunted Hoochie exposed

[badass]

i hate reading on here about how haunts sucked back in the day....?????
speak for your self...

haunted hoochie was kick ass....and still is...
to kinda quote the black eyed peas..
if your not 3008 then your 2000 n late

back then we were paving the way to what haunted houses have become today...
and we still are

this is what we called the wipeout...
another haunted hoochie original ....

its an old Kawasaki drag bike ....
and would pile em up back in the day...

[badass]

my absolute favorite kinda metal is rusty


[CODE][/CODE]

the project of moving haunted hoochie indoors to dead acres was 7 years in the making ..
and i had many visions of what i wanted it to be like...and that included alot of rusty metal...
i am a certified rusty metal head....
so out behind the new building i started a rusty relic pile...
that grew over the years...and after we moved
i started placing relics from the pile...
the last of it i grabbed with the bobcat forks...and carried to where i was using them..
and at the very bottom of this pile was this cemetery gate...
but i had never put this gate in the pile...
i had never even seen this gate before...
apparently it had been under the ground where i started this pile of rusty relics....
waiting there through the years...
apparently over many many decades ...
to become part of dead acres......
or maybe the haunt is built over on old abandoned cemetery...i just don't know..

anyways i thought that was something special to share with u all...

Metal is the only music that should be played at a haunt!

DA

its awesome how metalheads and haunters are usually intertwined.. at our haunt, we only play metal of the most extreme kind.. black, death, grindcore, and thrash!!

[badass]

this time of year always feels like crunch time to me...
with running a paintball biz..company pic biz....and the Hooch
there is such limited time to pull off the impossible...
so its a round the clock job...
and even when i sleep i cant turn off the brain...
but as much as we do ...
we accomplished more back in the 90s....haha


i think i could post our 90s creation pics all summer....
heres another one of my favorite corpses...

old hooch me.jpg

Here is a pic of me as just a 15yr old fledgling frightener(a 6ft 210lbs intimindating fledling)
I just took a latex micheals myers mask and put dreadlock extensions in it(dam that old latex got HOT as u can see)

~but everything evolves~

So here is one of the evolved present day me(if not lost in the data transfer would have looked badass in that new issue in the article I wrote,lol)

old school hoochie style

Awesome thread Timbo!!! Its truly making my brutal blood boil with nasty necrostalgia!!! I am lucky to by now i think to be remembered as one of the originals. The ones who built the haunted hoochie up with just sadistic ideas, blood, sweat, and shear devouring determination to do diabolical deeds to people and stay outta jail, lol....well all that and a whole lotta trips to the hardware store. Im proud of my 17 years with you man, & what youve help me acomplish in my life. I was just a 15 yr old kid when I wandered onto your farm with just a hunger to scare. The endless support you show us all, especially me in creation and the very idea of creavtivity, balls to the wall, no limits chaos kind of creation. And quite the brainstorms you have sent me into, hell brain hurricanes!!! How else could I have come up with the idea for the DEMON BIRTH that has sent shock waves that I have seen through the industry. You never saw even the idea of birth and mutilation even mentioned...even discussion of such too Taboo...until....It pops in this sick brain u created in me..out of no where the next year there are bloody babies and fetuses flying across the show floor in Vegas!! Lmao. hell...even I thought....."NOOOOO....We cant do that! can we...? NOOO!" But two words from you Tim have always stuck with me, almost guiding me through life, "Why Not". wisdom to live to die by right there.
so instead of going back to my boring job, i called you and hesitantly told you my gruesome totally outrageous offensive never been done because of so IDEA.

.....and I will never will forget your explosive enthuisiasm. "HELL FUCKIN YES!!!! I know just how to engineer it. Its PERFECT!! I'm out the door to start on it RIGHT NOW!!"

(it was dead december winter folks, maybe christmas eve, record 100 year ICE storm was in effect all I can remember is thinking hes finally gone crazy)

thats the kind of work ethic it takes to be such a pioneer, such an inspiration as Tim is to us all. I know it seems im laying it on kinda of thick, but im really not. he truly is one of a kind, my mentor in mayhem...my brother.

thank you Tim for all you have done for me and for us all,
your friend and brother in harm, Nate~

hell yeah~hell yeah indeed

[badass]

its been a great building year so far for us..
hope the same for everyone else..

we have been in negotiations on more land
which has its positives n negatives
1.8 million is the price tag....
glad i despise money and greed so much...
not too sure how this project will end...
negotiations means please split me off a smaller piece...
and no land equals
not opening the old historic hoochie woods back up...
decisions decisions..
even with the failing economy pataskala (my city) is poised to grow..
i guess time will tell...I'm easy

heres more from the 90s
not sure how many of these we made...many..
btw...i have my favorites and heres one

this year is Tobys 22 year with haunted hoochie
I probably couldn't keep doing this without him
my entire dream team is still together..
its been the best of friends having the best of times


[CODE][/CODE]

[badass]

but lets get back to the 90s...
what inspired you ?
we have been working in the shop lately...on our newest creation
which let me tell you is freaking amazing...
and no doubt will be something everyone will soon want in their haunt..

and all the while we have been talking about inspiration...and how it is unavoidable to not be influenced..
although we were oblivious to what other haunts were doing around the country...pre internet back then...

while we were blazing a path borne outta our own minds we also watched movies...
and what inspired us at the time was the movie evil dead...
and it all started in a cabin out in the woods..
