Using video for your Haunted House or Haunted Attraction is a priority with today’s electronic devices and social media channels. ‘Coming Soon’ trailers, Hi-Definition Videos for your marketing, and Documentary-style on location videos are popular with today’s top haunted attractions. Your customers want to see pictures and video of your attraction before they go. They want social proof that your show is the best one to spend money at. Having an updated professional looking website to put everything together is still a requirement.

The Journey from ‘Haunt House’ to ‘Phobius’ with Nicci & Justin Fears

phobius haunted house wright city,moThe Haunt House (one of HauntWorld’s Top Haunts in 2012) in Dallas,TX is gone right? Or is it?

Nicci and Justin Fears from Wright City,MO may have just raised most of The Haunt House from the dead!

In early 2014, Nicci and Justin purchased The Haunt House from the Butler’s and moved the entire show (except the building) from Texas to Missouri. After many truck loads of decorated wall panels, trailer loads of props & costumes, and numerous caffeinated road trips…they have transformed The Haunt House into Phobius!

Phobius Haunted House is a NEW Haunted Attraction located in Wright City,MO…..somewhere.

The reason I say ‘somewhere’ is because when you arrive at Phobius, you are not actually at the Phobius. You arrive at 420 East First Street South and then get on a bus with black out windows and then you are blindfolded. A few minutes later you show up at Phobius. So if you think you can run away…nope.

After your short awkward bus trip, you arrive at a huge creepy warehouse where you’ll get to meet Dr. Cyrus Fears and his family of twisted souls and carnies. Yes…a psychopathic circus Doctor searching for more elixir and suffering from ongoing periods of rage and delusions. Sounds like fun right?

We interview Justin & Nicci about What New Haunt Owners Need To Know Before Starting, The Challenge of Moving The Haunt House from Texas to Missouri, and What to Expect from their Haunted House Phobius in 2014! You might just relate to their story or maybe you just want to go check out this Haunt yourself.

We play some more twisted tunes from Sam Haynes and announce the winners of four of his NEW CDs “Spine Chillers”.

In the Haunter’s Toolbox, we include a quick and easy way to corpse a skeleton with just a few tools and materials.

The Halloween Experience DVDHalloween is awesome. Ask anyone, it’s their favorite holiday. If they say it isn’t, they’re lying or are in need of having a stick removed from their back side. What’s not to like about Halloween? It’s all about time honored traditions like putting on a costume, trick ‘r treating , all night horror movie marathons and getting the crap scared out of you at the local haunted attraction. Maybe the only bad thing about Halloween is that it’s all over after October 31st. Or is it?

In this episode of HaunTopic Radio, we interview Haunted Attraction Junkies Phillip Crain & Bruce King (the creators of The Halloween Experience) about their idea to produce a DVD that features 6 different flow-throughs of some of California’s best Haunted Houses. We also get their take on what makes a great Haunted Experience and  the key to their persistent motivation to create this unique compilation of Haunts!

Mint In Box Productions’ THE HALLOWEEN EXPERIENCE VOLUME ONE is a hosted haunted attraction showcase aimed at keeping the screams of Halloween going all year round. Haunted attractions have been featured in Travel Channel specials, countless YouTube videos and heart felt documentaries like AMERICAN SCREAM, but they’ve never been seen quite like this. Featuring an anthology of six haunted attraction segments, each has been filmed in a cinematic style that immerses the viewer in what can best be described as a mini-horror movie. Tying the whole experience together is the scream queen host, BLOODY JENNY (JENNY JONES), who harkens back to the campy classic horror hosts of the past. Aimed at both fans of Halloween and Horror, THE HALLOWEEN EXPERIENCE VOLUME 1 is a must buy!

 

Here’s what people are saying about THE HALLOWEEN EXPERIENCE VOLUME ONE:

 

“If you’re like me and love Halloween, this is the perfect DVD” –Dick Grunert “Adventure Time” Writer

 

“Everything I love about haunted attractions, I had a blast!”-Frighbites.BlogSpot.Com

 

“A nice way to visit all the haunts from an armchair.” –Don Coscarelli “Phantasm’ Creator/Director/Writer

 

The Halloween Experience Volume 2 is coming September 2014 with 5 all new haunted attractions!
