The Mossman Chronicles

The Mossman. Originally conceived in the back of the garden shed, the bastard child of the Freezer Beast and Robert Brasch, the Mossman lurks in dark corners just waiting set upon the unsuspecting. It appears that, because he blends in so well with his surroundings, he seems quite at home in the garden shed, and that seems to be where he likes to spend most of his time.
Unseen, silent, still as night......waiting...for you.

Fright Factory 2007

Well, it's October again and last week I started working at the Fright Factory. I've known the owners, Rob and Aven, a few years now and it's really great of them to let me come down and help out.

This is my buddy Chet from the fire company. Chet's pretty damn good on those stilts. It ain't easy, he's got to stay up on them all night, and they have to be duct-taped to his legs so they don't slip. Chet and I met the folks from the Fright Factory at Horrorfind in '04 and gave them a hand with the costume contest. We've been down at the Fright Factory ever since. Go figure! Anyway, I did Chet's makeup, not the best I've ever done, but considering it was a 2 year old appliance...not bad.

I've been doing the 'Mossman' schtick., and it's been working real good so far , but I think I hear 'Freshly dug up Doug' calling to be let out to play. I know I've got to let him out for the fire company's hayride later this month, so I might as well let him warm up some at the Fright Factory. Besides, he's got some new hair and shoes. I think we have a new character for Chet as well, 'Beazlbubba aka The Devil went down to Georgia'. We'll see what develops in the next few days. expect more pictures

EFProductions has completed the castle display project for Clan Young.We did this on time and under budget and even threw in delivery to the event. Needless to say the folks from Clan Young were very pleased with the way this turned out...and so were we. We even hung out at the festival and had a great time!
We also plan on taking part in Philly's own Fright Factory. We've worked there in the past and always have a good time getting paid to scare the crap out of people...it's what we do!

Back from Horrorfind

Well the convention went well. There was plenty to do and I did get to couple of seminars...I had planned on doing that anyway, so I would rate this mission a success.
I ran into some folks form other Haunts that I've known over the years and we had a good time chatting about how the last season went. Obviously mine didn't go as planned, but everyone else seemed to have had a good year. Good luck to them all.
One of the things thats been a hot topic around the haunt business world is cross promotion and marketing. I've always believed that the more "buzz" that we generate, the better for everyone in the business. Being as I'm a shameless self promoter and don't see anything wrong with giving a little shout out to my friends, I say that I ran into some friends from Goatman Hollow, Dark Woods Manor, Kim's Krypt, The Fright Factory, Patient Creatures and a new place in Delaware called Nightmares. I'll post some pictures just to keep it interesting.
The costume contest Saturday night was also quite interesting. Though I don't think it was as big as in years past, it certainly wasn't without a large selection of imaginitave and nicely executed costumes

Horrorfind Weekend 8

Yes folks we'll be attending Horrorfind Weekend 8 August 10-12 2007. As in the past this has been a huge event and is always a lot of fun. We will definitely be looking for old friends in the business as well as making new ones. I (Neil) missed this event the last 2 years because of other obligations, but I will be returning in full force this year.
I had the opportunity last year, to work with the great people at Philadelphia's scariest haunt, The Fright Factory, and I had a great time working with them. I'm sure they will make their presence known to all who attend
