Behind the Scenes Creation

So, this year the first attraction to undergo renovation is The Show. Every year each attractions get redesign but the one that gets major renovation comes to the attraction that typically gets renovated first. For the past three months a volunteer crew of 16 haunters has been working on The Show for 2010. The Show is in it's final phases of being completed for 2010 and should be finished during March. The crew first went in and gutted The Show; then they placed 100 wall panels in the current attraction; added the base color of paint; and now the crew is in the detail paint stages. The Show will feature 8 foot tall panels with various skeletons, skulls, and zombies. The artwork inside The Show will assist with creating an atmosphere that customers will get into the mood as soon as they set foot inside the attraction. Since The Show is the first of the three attractions at Dr. Haunt's it is important that it creates a mood and fear that every customer will feel.

Martin Luther King Parade


The cast at Dr. Haunt's Haunted House Scream Park are natural performers and will perform anywhere. What I love best about our haunters is there willingness to do almost anything.

Like on a day when there is no school for our high school students or a holiday for our Army guy instead of sleeping in... they all vote to wake up early, brave the cold, and wear whatever I hand them to march in the Martin Luther King Jr. Parade downtown Gainesville, Texas! This year we had nine haunters that were able to make the MLK Parade to represent Dr. Haunt's Haunted House Scream Park and salute a national hero!

It was our first time to wear the new parade costumes and yes, even The Beast got dress up in a new coat of Black Paint (look at that shine)! The costumes we made where design off of the three musketeer style and still need to get our logo design on the front! The belts are made out of skull rope which seems just right for our crew!
