We were really trying to open for 2009 but just didn't feel like we had enough time to make the attraction as good as it could be for the 2009 season so now we are aiming for 2010.<br /> Great forum topics here.<br /> McZ </p> http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=6#post-21 Fri, 21 Aug 2009 20:24:52 +0000 frightmare 21@http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/ <p>here is a quick link to the atmosFEARS cd samples: <a href="http://frightmarestudios.com/?p=50" rel="nofollow">http://frightmarestudios.com/?p=50</a> if you were interested. </p> http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=8#post-20 Fri, 21 Aug 2009 01:06:28 +0000 Scarygoat 20@http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/ <p>Thanks, great idea. I think I am going to try that on the tombstone and facade. </p> http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7#post-19 Fri, 21 Aug 2009 01:04:52 +0000 Scarygoat 19@http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/ <p>Well, as of now I don't think we need any, but I will keep you in mind if we ever do. </p> http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=8#post-18 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 23:02:30 +0000 frightmare 18@http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/ <p>thanks, another good thing to do is to mist some water onto the top of the prop or whatever u want and then use some spray paint and spray the water then let the paint/water mix run down the tombstone or whatever, gives a great weathered look. </p> http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7#post-17 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 23:00:51 +0000 frightmare 17@http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/ <p>yup exactly like mini spotlights. thats what im working on :) </p> http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7#post-16 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 15:10:43 +0000 Scarygoat 16@http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/ <p>We are actually using clamping work lights for each scene. You can buy them from the hardware store, and we just put whatever bulb we want in them to light up each scene and any props in the scene. They are nice for us because we can clamp them to the top of our posts. Is what you are making something like Mini Spotlights stuff? <a href="https://www.minispotlight.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.minispotlight.com/</a> </p> http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=8#post-15 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 15:01:51 +0000 Scarygoat 15@http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/ <p>Nice job! I like the black and white. It looks good. I plan on using this technique on our facade and big tombstone to make them look older. They look too new right now. Plus a little misting with some paints will help give them a dirty type looks depending on what color you use. We are also replacing the facade doorway/curtain with a mix of burlap and tattered cloth to give a little more "old" look to the entire entrance. We are replacing a good portion of the Doorways/curtains in the haunt with burlap/tattered cloth actually. Anyways great job! kinda got carried away there lol </p> http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=6#post-14 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 14:43:38 +0000 Scarygoat 14@http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/ <p>I use Midnight Syndicate for basically everything. We are thinking about making a mix CD of some different songs that you might here on the radio that maybe have kind of creepy beats to them or something for when we take a break. Just to kind of change the music a little bit while we are inside just in case someone is waiting to get in, kind of an elevator music lol. The problem is, is that I can't figure out HOW to make a mix CD. I tried limewire, but it wasn't working right and we had to delete it because it was screwing up our computer. Any ideas guys? </p> http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=9#post-13 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 00:29:02 +0000 frightmare 13@http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/ <p>here are some grease makeup photos i had on my old sony ericsson phone from 2007.<br /> it was self applied with graftobian grease makeup, no prosthetics were used. this was my first time ever attempting self applied makeup but the outcome really surprised me. i tried to really touch base with the highlights and low lights around my eyes. the pictures really make the makeup look light, it was applied pretty dark to get the effect in the haunt. the teeth are dental distortions zombie teeth.</p> <p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3221/2919678621_08cc26b906.jpg" /><br /> <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3133/2920522752_7b460b5e4c.jpg" /><br /> <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3021/2920522998_bfb5ebaf0d.jpg" /><br /> <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3113/2919678569_f7109916aa.jpg" /></p> <p>and here is a shot with my iphone from 2008. again self applied zombie makeup, i also applied the makeup to jason [left] and brad [right] im obviously in the center. with the better mp camera on the iphone you can make out the colors better.</p> <p> <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3198/3039582121_39434c700f.jpg" /></p> <p>depending on the night and the expected crowd outcome for that evening. that will sway us in what direction we should go with our costumes, either full face prosthetics or a simple zombie face paint. prosthetics usually take about 2-3 hours to make up myself and my entire cast, usually around 5-6 people. </p> http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=8#post-12 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 00:16:23 +0000 frightmare 12@http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/ <p>not sure if anyone used this method of painting but it works great for that aged look.<br /> i have been using this technique on my props &#38; sets for years and it really does age the prop very nice.</p> <p>basically what you need to do is first lay down your base coat of whatever color you want the piece to be and let that dry completely. next you are going to get a topcoat color and lightly dip your paintbrush into it. on a scrap piece of wood or paper brush the paintbrush back and forth to try and remove a good bit of the paint from the brush, you want some paint on the brush but not a lot to paint over your base coat. then finally lightly drag the brush over the base cat you already left dry, this will create and aged look to the piece.</p> <p>here are some example of dry brushing.<br /> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b254/frightmare/sale/fogtowers.jpg" /> <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3033/3016050649_9b58e31e2c.jpg" /> <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3008/3016884192_7cbe07f264.jpg" /> </p> http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7#post-11 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 23:52:23 +0000 frightmare 11@http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/ <p>guessing if you guys are building props and scenes you are using some type of spotlight to light the prop and/or scene, i was constructing barrel spotlights from c7 christmas lights. i was looking to start marketing the spotlight in the future possibly if anyone would be interested. im looking to switch from the c7 bulbs (they do get a bit warm) to LED spotlights, less electricity and cooler to the touch. not that the c7 barrel spotlights i have been using for the past 3 years no good, its just time for an upgrade.</p> <p>just curious what spotlights everyone else is using? i will snap some pics of my c7 barrels i constructed. if anyone is interested in purchasing some email me: <a href="mailto:frightmare@atlanticbb.net">frightmare@atlanticbb.net</a> we can work something out.</p> <p>i will also snap some pics of the new LED setup i have been working on. extremely small and puts out an incredibly powerful beam. </p> http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=1#post-10 Sun, 16 Aug 2009 15:32:36 +0000 frightmare 10@http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/ <p>sounds awesome mike! welcome to the forums, its a bit dead here but after awhile i think it might pick up with enough word of mouth advertising.</p> <p>how did you run across the site just curious?<br /> cant wait to see the video's! i been putting together how-to video's that should hopefully be edited and released to the public in 2010. </p> http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=6#post-9 Sun, 16 Aug 2009 15:30:41 +0000 frightmare 9@http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/ <p>i use my own mix that i produced.<br /> the Frightmare Studios AtmosFEARS cd will be released hopefully this year.</p> <p>there is some sample tracks on the main frightmare website and on my myspace. </p> http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=6#post-8 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 04:04:28 +0000 badlander2000 8@http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/ <p>I actually have about 15 CD's of either music or sound effects.

This is our 5th year and I feel like a lifelong veteran because of how long it has consumed me. We will be decking out all of our past scenes with amazing detail and I will actually be posting step-by-step videos of this years production. </p> http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=1#post-6 Wed, 06 May 2009 23:00:59 +0000 Scarygoat 6@http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/ <p>My name is Jake. I'm 14 and I own Twisted Terror, our home haunt. This year will be our second year and Twisted Terror is going to be more twisted and more terrifying. I am really into haunted houses and any haunted event. When I was younger I would start planning my Halloween costume in January, now I'm planning a haunted house! </p> http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=5#post-5 Sun, 19 Apr 2009 16:05:51 +0000 frightmare 5@http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/ <p>1. please use sound judgement when, buying, selling &#38; trading on the forum.<br /> 2. remember you are buying, selling &#38; trading at your own risk.<br /> 3. to make the experience easier please list ways of contact in your post. name, state, email.<br /> 4. be very descriptive of what you are trying to sell/trade. pictures help a lot. </p> http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=4#post-4 Thu, 16 Apr 2009 02:32:39 +0000 frightmare 4@http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/ <p>here is a video of my 2006 setup. this was the year i went away with my modular haunt and made it permanent. 16'x28' 448sq/ft.</p> <p>the video pretty much explains the setup.<br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-MM-2oAQ08" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-MM-2oAQ08</a> </p> http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=3#post-3 Thu, 16 Apr 2009 02:29:13 +0000 frightmare 3@http://frightmarestudios.com/bbpress/ <p>well i know its over 2 years old now but i dug up the footage from 2007 on my youtube and decided to share with you.</p> <p>description:<br /> Lights on tour of the 2007 Frightmare Home Haunt.</p> <p>This video was cut short @ the end due to the small memory card in my camera but you can get a good idea of the things i have to work with in the haunt. i tried to step up the detail a little more this year and i really turned down the lighting alot.
