Welcome back! I hope you like the new format of this site. A little more "pro," since I'm hoping to make this site a major, popular Halloween stop within the next few years!
I'm sure you'll also notice that it's been almost two years since I've posted anything here. Last year I was in Montana (see Montana 2010 page in the Haunts tab), and wasn't able to pull off an actual haunt, but rather a small, exclusive tour of Helena's haunted hot spots, among other things. But it was the first year in a long streak that I didn't direct or produce a commercial haunt. And this year I won't be directing or producing an actual haunt, either, but rather I've focused my attention the past six months on creating Halloween Trees and several other Halloween-related projects.
Between teaching at ASU, doing the movies and docs, politics, and so many other things (literally 34 projects currently), I just haven't had time to do a full out haunt. Next year I will, either in Montana or Vermont. Good way to go into the 2012 End of the World, right? Ha.
But active-haunt-streak aside, I figured this site--and the wonderful things in it--will more than make up for the lack of an actual haunt ;)
The Halloween Trees alone are a major step in the growing Halloween world. There've been several half-assed attempts others have made for decades, but nothing of this quality. I've dreamed about these babies since the 80s! Now they're out of my brain and in the real world.
Soon we'll have artwork, crossword puzzles, CDs, movies, short stories, books and so much more to keep fellow haunt enthusiasts occupied all year 'round!
