“Remote” brings you into a horror experience without leaving your house. But you’ll feel like you’re there.

Learn how a”Remote” type of interactive horror experience can be used with your customers.

Each year we always try to add something unique to our Haunted Attractions. Sometimes we need to think outside of the box so that we can prepare for the experiences customers want and crave…they just don’t know it yet.

That’s where a mobile horror interactive game could bring extra revenue to your haunted house business or any entertainment event.

Think about this. Creating episodic content (emails, texts, videos, etc) for a series of days created around the story of your attraction. Mystery combined with scary. Interactive with Improvision. Then charge for it.

This also builds your brand and keeps your customers interested offseason. And they can interact with your show without leaving their house.

Listen to this podcast to learn how to incorporate immersive horror in your haunt.

At the time of this article, most of us are quarantined in our homes. Digital experiences are a good way to incorporate more story into your attraction and still providing an event for your customers. Even if you don’t follow a full fledged remote experience; we can still use email, videos, texts, images, etc to bring our customers on a haunted journey.

Haunted Hills Estate Scream Park teams up with Shock Theater to create “Remote”, an interactive mobile horror experience. Live in a world of horror and choices…all from the comfort of your couch.

In this episode of HaunTopic Radio, we discuss the making of ‘Wasted’ with Steve Kasan, actor and producer, and the journey the crew has been on as they try to make this TV Show a reality.

Ideas to concept. Acting while working a day job. Film competitions. Producing on a budget. Marketing a Zombie comedy to the masses. And how to survive it all!

Steve also gives you some tips on How To Produce Your Own Horror Movie, His Favorite Zombie Movies, & How To Mix Horror with Comedy.

The world is a big waste according to four friends who spend most of their time discussing zombies while getting drunk and high. When the dead actually do rise they must use their limited knowledge and skills to survive.

Wasted breaks the rules of prime-time comedy with edgy multicultural characters and situations that poke fun at race, religion, taboo topics, and the zombie genre itself. This show will present how they deal with the world before and during the zombie outbreak, often resorting to the past in order to face the future. ~Comedy Coup

Wasted placed in the TOP 55 in the Canadian Comedy Coup competition for the CBC (a television network in Canada). But the team isn’t going to stop there. They are still moving forward and gaining traction along the way. And you can help!
