Haunted Scarecrow’s “Depth’s of Despair” fall haunted house has been busy with screaming and laughing guests. Word-of-mouth is spreading on how cool and scary this haunt is, so don’t miss out! They also offer “no-scare” walk-throughs for the faint of heart. This is a no-touch haunt and great time for those who like haunted houses.

And – There are now six episodes of Sean’s Haunt Hacks available for you to view. The latest is an ASMR with actual recorded sounds of guests walking through the haunt. https://youtu.be/XrUFYbCkgqY

My latest bizarre short film is now available to watch on YouTube. It played at this year’s Madrid (NM) Film Festival and won “Best Comedy,” although, I personally wouldn’t label it as comedy. Judge for yourself and enjoy this strange bit of SciFi, horror, fantasy. https://youtu.be/tH9TXbvFDVQ

I hope you were able to experience Haunted Scarecrow’s Bloody Lovers Below, February haunted house. I’m proud to have been a part of this great team in making it come to life. Below is a link to a video I made, as a walk-through but with enhanced light and sound for better detail. In person it’s darker and scarier. https://youtu.be/eUBeFwA7lkE

Special thanks to “G.I.” Joe Lonesome and all the folks involved with OffSet Web Series! I had the opportunity, on their Season 8 “The Nacho Libre Episode,” to be assistant script supervisor – shadowing script supervisor Jonathan Baca (My first IMDB credit!). I also performed two background roles (uncredited), held a shade umbrella for actors, and helped try to get a car unstuck from the mud – all part of the collaborative efforts in making this shoot happen. Here’s the link to the movie – S8 The Nacho Libre Episode and check out their website here – https://www.offsetwebseries.com/

Haunted Scarecrow decided to do a Krampus haunt in December, and I was honored that they used a script I wrote as the haunt design plan (and they managed to make most of it happen)! I decorated some sets, made some props, and was also an actor – one of two who played the guide, a figure related to Krampus and Santa – Knecht Ruprecht. This haunt was lots of fun and it was great to see so many smiling faces go through, and to see them get jump-scared. They especially loved being able to take a picture with Santa, Krampus, or Frau Perchta at the end of the haunt. Plans are underway for a February, Valentine’s haunt – Bloody Lovers Below! If anyone has any video from the Krampus haunt, please share. I would love to see it.

I talked with Pops in the basement of the 505 Food Court, downtown Albuquerque, and he put me to work decorating in the dinosaur room. I painted most of the walls and made a large dog skeleton prop become a huge mangy/decomposed dog, which we then placed as attacking our second, unfinished dinosaur. As the first room in the haunt, the dino room had an almost soothing feel to it (don’t have good pictures of the room with the house lights down). My acting scare as an imprisoned explorer, caught many people off guard. Always satisfying to get jumps and screams in a haunt, and then sometimes they laugh hard. I laugh whenever I walk through a haunt, and I don’t understand how some people get so scared they can barely get through the first couple of rooms. I practiced meditation in between scares, to help pass the many hours in my spot. Great team at Haunted Scarecrow, and this year’s haunt was much better than the last few years. (Check out “The horror…” page for details on the props.)

I volunteered to help with this year’s horror fest, and I had never been to any type of horror convention besides this. I got to sit at a booth with P.J. Soles (Halloween, Rock’N’Roll High School, and more) and her husband, Rob. Had a great time talking with them, listening to fans who wanted to express their admiration for P.J. and getting photos autographed, and taking pictures of fans with P.J. Events like this are an interesting dichotomy of gruesome horror and love of the horror genre shared by the fans. It felt like being small part of a world-wide family. The place was often packed with fans, many of them there to see The Terrifier – Art the Clown. I also got a chance to talk with actor Ashley Lawrence from the Hellraiser franchise. I talked with some other volunteers, some of who were part of Haunted Scarecrow haunted house productions, and was invited to possibly participate in this year’s haunt.

So excited to have been part of this production – writing, props, Chupacabra costume, and helping with set creation and strike! The cast and crew were a great team of people to work with. Video of the performance is now online! Follow this link https://youtu.be/C3u14b0tTz0 to Theater of Death’s YouTube Channel with the entire performance broken up into six parts, AND you can see most of the previous year’s performances as well!

Thank you, Joe West, for keeping Theater of Death alive!
