Here are some new pictures of our Subway Escape. Its not done but it will be soon. This escape room will be open during the 2017 Transworld Show. We will simply just open our escape rooms during Transworld. We are planning on blocking off time and opening up to haunt owners and escape room owners. Once we do that we'll let you know. So we should have three escape rooms up and running by Transworld: Mummy - Cellar and Subway Escape. We may or may not open The Darkness again I'm not sure... right now I'm not inspired to change anything drastically. We are considering ripping out the que line and re-doing that but again not sure. If we don't do a big major renovation of some kind we will not open The Darkness. We however will look into opening Creepyworld if its possible. Not sure yet.

Here are some new pictures from our escape room. Our new Subway is the best of the three by a long shot. We still have some work to do. I plan on making a video of it soon!

Few more photos... these are from our new SUBWAY Escape game. Its almost done. This one will be the best of our entire lineup! Next year during Transworld you'll see its simply amazing.
As for adding stuff to Darkness... no nothing will be added over what you saw at Transworld. Exception is a bought a full sized Freddy Krugar for the monster museum. Other than that nothing.
The big additions are the escape rooms and zombie laser tag.
NEXT YEAR if we do a renovation of Darkness we'll probably rebuild the ENTIRE que line and make it part of the haunted house.
We'll see.

I'm going to share some tips about marketing to your hometown crowd. Right now I'm updating my website. These are some of the types of graphics I will make for my website. I can't stress to you enough HOW IMPORTANT it is for you to give a first impression to anyone who visits your website. These are calendars for both Creepyworld and Darkness 2016. As you can see we theme them each year. Creepyworld big theme is a very evil Christmas while Darkness showcases other events going on thru the year. You may also note they are color coded so our guests know when and what time we are open.

Amazing job! So much detail in all the rooms you've done! We are still in the process of wanting to start up a "ER" business, and we are definitely considering going with Halloween Productions. No other rooms come anywhere close to the detail and immersive environments that you create. Couple questions about the rooms you have done so far:
What is the square footage of each of the rooms that you have done?
Will you have a 45 or 60 minute time limit?

Our Escape Rooms are as follows
Cellar Escape 1,100 square feet
Mummy Escape 800 square feet
Subway 600 square feet
---------------
Subway is almost done is the best of the three.
Games are 60 minutes.
-------------
Snowmen are made from straight foam.
Lastly if you put up NO SMOKING SIGNS... why not make them with your logos and include a full blown WARNING like we do. Check it out.

Couple updates I wanted to share...
1) Darkness Haunted House Tour 2017: I have been overwhelmed by the support from our tour last year. I was second guessing doing another one simply because I didn't know if I wanted to spend ANY money on the Darkness next year. We have spent so much money its not even funny... this year with the zombie haunt to the escape rooms. I don't want to open if we are NOT going to produce something you should pay to see... well here is what we have and going to do.
A) We will be able to showcase our new Subway Escape room something we didn't have last year and btw its the best one of our three. Secondly we will do a behind the scenes tour of our escape rooms and we'll also be simply doing regular bookings for the show. Booking will be available for even people local so once we get the hours set up for Transworld I will announce so you can book first.
B) Que Line: We are going to rip out the que line almost completely and turn part of it into making the haunt bigger and the other half into a que line more functional. We are going to foam carve the entire que line from start to finish and its going to be awesome. The que line will include many over the top giant animations and major FX.
So YES we'll do a Darkness haunt tour and what will be new is an overhauled monster museum, all new section to the haunt, better themed que line, and the subway escape rooms.
2) We are still planning on trying to figure out if we can OPEN CREEPYWORLD. I will know once its fully set up if we can do it or not. I also have to speak to the local inspector and stuff and find out if we can do a private tour without inspections and stuff. I will let you know by November. It is our goal! We will NOT do a tour of Lemp.
Lastly ... I wanted to show you these signs we are making. I bought something like 20 A-Frames and we are making signs all over the place. For example one is no smoking and another is about buying tickets ONLINE and NOT waiting in the ticket line. Check it out. Larry

I will be posting all of our haunted house promo videos, subway promo video, and new pictures within a couple days. I wanted to make it totally official that we will re-open the Darkness for Transworld. I was actually thinking wasn't going to do again because I didn't want to spend any money on the haunted house not after what we spent this year.
Here is exactly what will be different...
1) Escape Room Behind the Scene Tour 2: This year you'll get to see our Subway Escape which is by far the best one of the three.
2) Escape Rooms: This year in addition to the Escape room behind the scenes tour we'll also OPEN our escape rooms so you can book them and play them. I will be posting VERY SOON special hours just for the Halloween show. It will be first come first serve. We will offer way extended hours including during the show itself.
3) There will be another Zombie Laser Tag event.
4) Darkness Haunted House: Yes we are planning to redevelop the que line and make it totally unreal awesome. It will include a $100,000 dollar plus multi motion animation that we pulled out of Hyde Club in New York. Plus many custom animations that we are going to have built. A pre-show which will feature a CGI FX. The haunt will technically be longer because part of the que line will become haunted house. I am having some really bad ass animations made for my two way mirror fx... you'll simply have to see them for yourself I can't explain right now. We are also re-doing ONE room downstairs and upgrading another. So overall The Darkness will be getting a major overhaul DOWNSTAIRS and more or less nothing upstairs.
We will NOT open Lemp again. We are still exploring the idea of opening Creepyworld. Will let you know.
