Our New Haunt Hottie: Jackie

[graystone]

I love me some hot haunt chicks!

But if anyone rather see me in a thong I guess I can do it for the better of the Industry! Shane and its strike a pose. Shane this time!

So Larry, what you are saying is that HOS knows what they can get away with and does it? So using that same logic if I think I know what will work in my community, I should do it? Yeah, If I was opening a haunt right in the middle of AMISH country, my haunt would be a LOT different as far as what I would have in say, Vegas. LOL No I am never going to have half naked girls running around my haunt (cause my wife would kill me) but I am not going to have my actresss wearing a turn of the century outfit that covers 99% of her body.

House of Shock

I was watching a special on the haunted industry not too long ago and the people in New Orleans were protesting against the House of Shock. In fact when they interviewed the owner, who ever he was, and he was very proud that his attraction was so bad that the city was trying to shut him down. I agree with you Larry. People like that give the haunt industry a bad name. I also agree that women clothed in barely nothing covered with blood is somehow a turn on is wrong and extremely dangerous and as a woman I do not appreciate it. I would not entertain the notion of attending such an event. Good for you Larry.

I Can Understand

Where Dirk is coming from, I mean this is a paicture of him in his Vampress outfit isn't it?
Incredible costume Dirk!
Want to come here for a summer slumber party in my back woods behind the house? Be sure and come in that costume though.
Sex and lust has no place with blood, gore and violent criminal acts?
"HHHHMMMMMM?"
Sex and lust has no place with the supernatural?
Can you say succubus? Incubus?

I also understand why deciding to show or not to show certain things inside your haunt is a matter of personal choice, we all do that, I might do that more than most since I don't have blood, gore, or violent criminal acts portrayed since in real life there is usually a huge connection between crimial acts of violence and someone's sexual or social "wires" being severely crossed and I don't want to possibly have to explain the unexplainable to some young inquiring mind.

The Nazi Babe display upstairs is played for laughs in a light that one of the most effective serial-killers of all history, A. Hitler would not be able to see any humor in since he had no humor and therein lies the fun.

This house of mine is a haunted,haunted house but I distract people away from this fact by using humor and attempted humor as I try to keep the tourists from luring my succubus into their car when they leave.

WOW. I never thought I'd have a ongoing thread on HW.

Well, first off THank You Ron for your input. I know you get what I am saying. You totally know what I mean by this and the concept behind it.

I also understand where some of you are coming from.

But here are a few things to consider:

A.
We are not going for House of Shock style. Nor ever claimed to go that road, or Suicide Girls or any of that.

B.
Everyone is basing all this off of a few photos. These were just meant to introduce her to everyone. She is the same Vampire Girl that welcomed people to CLub Vampire at MHC, no one had a problem with her then.

C.
The thought behind the RFR Haunt Hotties, isn't to sell sex. It is to have a female presence to RFR. I.E. Miss Midwest Scary Pageant. (FAR FROM T&A), Guest Acting at Haunted Attractions during the Haunt Season arranged by Rotting Flesh Radio. And also take Acting seminars by Bob Turner, and such. So there is many Haunt things related to it.

In fact, the girl in the photo is doing Make-Up for Haunted Attractions! And also has done the Body Art as well.

D.
I appreciate all your input. Wether good or bad, it can only help you grow and move in a direction when launching anything.

Thank all of you who have emailed me postive things about this, and also thank you who have emailed the negative. All good to hear either way. Hell, that is how I got RFR where it is today.

But hey, Ron, I will call you tomorrow too.

Wow, this is some of the most screwed up shit I've ever heard in my life. It's okay to have decomposing zombies, severed heads, blood splattered tables, maggots, fake feces, live demon births, simulated death, blood spewing bodies, dead infants, split open farm animals, massive beasts munching on human remains and the list goes on and on. But one innocent picture is shown of an attractive girl covered with fake blood the message board erupts with criticism.

It absolutely doesn't make sense and if something like that picture gets people this irritated then maybe you shouldn't be in the haunt industry to begin with. I've watched programs on The Darkness where one of your workers is showing how to create disgusting vomit, guts and blood, but this innocent picture is what sets people off. You're being just as bad as people who say that people involved in the haunt industry must worship the devil and that a haunted attraction should never be in a town because all it causes is problems.

Not everything on a haunt site is meant to further the industry. Don't forget that a large percentage of people are going to a site to look for haunts and need a reason to return when the season is over. Not everyone is involved in the industry and they just want to have a good time when visiting haunt related websites. I think people who don't have variety on their websites aren't going to increase their hits as much as they'd like. But this is just my opinion. Come on people lighten up. You're acting like her breasts are fully exposed and she's dressed as a nun. Get over it, get a life and just have fun. It's not always about representing the industry.

It does sell...

It does sell, and Jonathan's not selling a haunt, he's selling his show. His show is haunt related, and horror related as well.

Anyone check out the marketing for a good majority of horror movies in the past...well, ever? How many young attractive females have been cut up and exploited in the name of promoting horror?

To each their own. Use it to your advantage or don't, but far be it from me to judge, when I've got a dead girl (who everyone calls a hooker), with her head split open on the floor in one of our rooms, yet I won't allow a horned anything anywhere in the haunt (can you guess a bit of my background)?

I guess essentially I'm saying, who cares.

Jonathan, you don't need to make any clarifications. Saying that it's tied in somehow to the Miss Scary pageant, really? There were dudes in that thing last year if I'm not mistaken If it's how you're choosing to market your show then go with it, see how it works out.

Larry, I'll expect to see no attractive women or men at your place in March

With the liberties that haunters take with such a wide variety of subjects, like the pot and the kettle I guess.

That other haunt site ummm, haunternet did this and I personally think its tasteless. It may seem like a good idea but in the end has no benefit to a haunt website. For years haunts have tried to shed images of bad shows, tasteless scene, devil worship and worse.

Well, regardless of whether or not it is tasteless, it definitely does attract attention and can boost the popularity of a site. Perhaps you're just mad you didn't think of doing it first?

Elvira was very involved in the haunt industry, in fact 6-flags used her every Halloween when they put on their Haunt. She was featured in several attractions through out the years. I suppose I am telling my age here but many women dressed as Elvira during the Halloween season.

So True.

Amen. To those offended, get over yourselves and realize that your scenes of gore and/or death are more offensive than any innocent picture of this girl.

Amen, Amen, Amen!!!

Also, is what he is doing even close to being as morally objectionable as what some Haunters have done?
How about those involved in the website: "America’s Best Haunts"? These haunter prima donnas had claimed (perhaps fraudulently), without any real evaluation buy an Industry expert, that they have the “best” attractions in the country. Rotting Flesh Radio is doing nothing more than using a "mascot" to help promote their business. There is nothing wrong with that. At least they haven't misrepresented the business by claiming they are the "best" anything.

[drfrightner]

Noah, Chris or whomever else... I hope you rush to my defence when people say I shouldn't do this that or the other in the future!!! Please do!

LOL

Secondly let me say I'm not offended at all... but I do think people will be and I do feel it is not neccessary benefit to his site. Lastly you say sex sells...not that, no one is going to come to the site to see bloody chics in half torn cloths.

Dude look around the net you can watch PORN FOR FREE NOW just like youtube, all porn is basically free now. So no I don't buy what you are saying not one freakin bit that somehow it will sell something it want, if anything it will trash up the site. Again my opinion! It will detract from the message they want to promote. Again my opinion!

These are my opinions however I 110% agree that people can do whatever they want... SO WITH THAT BEING SAID remember that next time everyone tells me what to do, how much to charge for something, or whatever. I AGREE! They are just my opinions and I'm offering MY OPINION because I think he's done a great job at trying to promote things and I'd hate to see it trashed up with teenagers covered in blood with torn cloths. It will turn people off and detract from the message of the site. Again just my opinion!

[xxxdirk]

Jolly Pumpkin, I have to give you mad props for that post. That was freaking awesome!!

[Jim Warfield]

So Adam...

That's why you carry a box of pet treats when you go visiting haunts, so you have a little something to give to their pet mascot!
"Nice Kitty, nice Kitty, don't bite, at least not hard."

[stafford]

How soon we forget...

Larry,

I absolutely would, I stood up for you charging whatever you thought appropriate for your haunt tours, how soon you forget.

But lets not get all that restarted again...please.

Chris

[drfrightner]

Chris,

I know you did and I didn't forget I was kidding you... hard to know the tone people have with the comments... I thought I threw in a LOL!!!

So let me do that now... LAUGH OUT LOUD!

Larry

What you guys apparently failed to remember is that people are PAYING US for blood, guts, vomit, and scary stuff that's what they are there to see. If they want to see sleazy checks they can hit the strip club on the way home where they will be PAYING to see that and they will not be expecting to see blood, guts, vomit and scary things.

I have seen a few sleazy looking girls in haunts or in pics and videos and they usually offer very little if anything other than guys passing them by with crude comments, I've heard it and seen it. That's what you presented to your guests, then you will be getting those comments from guys. Dress like a ho, you get treated like a ho. If the female had any talent as an actress, she's be delivering great scares or powerful and convincing lines. Girls with little to offer upstairs(brain) feel to resort to this type of approach, and sadly there are too many people out there ready and willing to exploit it even in the haunt industry.

Halloween Horror Nights uses sexy girls every year, he// they did a vampire house one year and all the girls were hot and all the guys were buff and cut and it was a damn good house. They use sex from the house and street actors to hot girls and guys selling jello shots. In most horror movies the hot chick always dies.
