Hello, everyone! There's been a bit of a gap in posts, once more. This is mainly because I've been preparing for this season at the haunt I'm working at this year. I think I'll tell you guys a little bit about the haunt I'm working, seeing as it's possibly the best one in Utah, currently (I also may be biased).
I'm working for Fear Factory right now! The most interesting part of this haunt is the fact that it's an actual old factory; and because people used to live and work around this factory, many deaths occurred on the grounds. Not only do the living and breathing actors and actresses haunt this factory, but the dead also make their appearances from time to time. There is some information on the history of the factory in the link above. Also, there are a few videos on youtube about the ghosts. Here's one in which George is communicating with people in the area that I work (I believe that is the catacombs, anyway!).
Besides all ghostly activity, Fear Factory is also interesting due to the devotion of those who have put this haunt together. On the night of dress rehearsal, I had the opportunity to go through the entire house and see everything for the first time. Before going in, I had an idea of the hours that most people clock on a daily basis at the factory; but seeing the results of their work made me truly appreciate that time I knew had been spent on creating that perfection. The attention to detail in all of the sets and rooms is breath-taking. I can imagine that walking through alone without any actors in there would be creepy and disorienting all on its own.
But, then, the element of my fellow actors and actresses is added, making it quite a show to behold. I'm surrounded by so much talent every time I go that I often feel dwarfed--diminished in my lack of acting experience. But the atmosphere with all these people is so friendly that it's hard to believe that people actually pee their pants in our haunt on a nightly basis!
I have to say, I'm quite proud to be a part of the Fear Factory team. We're all here to have fun and scare the piss out of you. Bias or no bias, I highly recommend swinging by this Halloween season and enjoying the spooky, creepy interiors and impressive makeup skills that lie within this truly haunted factory. Admission information can be found online at FearFactorySLC.com (the link above). I believe you can actually save money by buying your tickets online!
So, come by and visit me, if you're in the Salt Lake area. You'll find me guarding my freshly-made pet deep in the underground catacombs! And, if I'm lucky, there'll be more than screams coming out of you!
Stay spooky, everyone! I'll try to post a few more times during the season. We'll see how that goes.
