2010 Season Has Arrived





The 2010 Halloween Season has arrived and Dr. Haunt's is having an incredible year with their opening weekend. Customers love the changes and they way each haunted house attraction builds up to the finale... Chamber of Fears. In addition, our actors are very solid this year, with over 30 returning actors we have a very strong base to start with and then with the energy of our first season actors there is never a dull moment inside the haunted house.

Other changes that the customers seem to like is the expanded gift shop, with over 30 mask and 10 different styles of tshirt to choose from, everyone can find something in the Gift Shop.

So far this season we have seen a first-time haunted house attendee go to the bathroom on themself... seriously no joke. Customers have come from Dallas, Durrant, North Richland Hills, Wichita Falls, Norman, Sherman, etc and the majority of customers have driven over an hour to get to our haunted house and they have all sung our praises say how it was worth the drive. In addition, our customers have told us we are better then our fellow haunted houses in DFW and bricktown in Okalhoma. So with great customer reviews we are very well pleased and look forward to our upcoming weekends.

The Season is Almost Here


The 2010 Haunted House season is almost here, the emails, social network messages, and phone calls have picked up pace and everyone is asking when do we open and where are the coupons. So the energy and buzz is there for the haunted house. On top of that the Radio Commercials throughout Southern & Central Oklahoma has hit the airwaves and we are just days away from opening. The haunted house got the green light from our City inspection, the coupons are distributed, actors trained, and now there's only last minute details to take care of.

One of the haunters commented tonight when they saw the to do list about how long it was... I just laughed because the list is extremely small when you consider we have been working on this year’s haunt since last November. Plus after doing this for eight years, I know this list is minor compared to some years when we were putting up walls still at this point. I can happily say that are design has been done for over a month and so now it's the extras that we have been working on to give the haunted house - that extra special feel. Which not all customers appreciate, like the ones that exit before they see every room or the ones that close their eyes and hug one of their friends through the entire haunt. But for an actor, those are the fun customers to play with! Plus we have our reputation to think of, what would people think if we did not emergency exit so many customers a night.

So, with the final details being finished, the cast at Dr. Haunt's Haunted House Fear Park looks forward to our season, and hope to see everyone out on Opening Weekend - when everyone can get $6 with our online coupon at www.fearpark.com

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.
