New Directions and Changes to the Cave

Working on our new make-up techniques has been an eye opening experience. This year, we are trying out many new additions to our make-up kits.

The first big change is the use of Watermelon Prosthetics. Not only are they applied with alcohol, but they are also made up with an alcohol based liquid make-up. They tested well under some very hard testing situations based on ease of use, longevity, and durability and they held up quite well.

The next big change was the use of full facial prosthetics. Not only is this a good way to cut down on our make-up cost for the future, but it will add a lot of versatility to some of our characters. We will see how well they hold up this year.

We have added a lot more props this year. Although we are not prop dependent like a lot of other Haunts, I really do think that this year will add some versatility to some of the actors, ie. talking points for characters, but they also do a great job of filling in dead spots. I think our customers are going to be constantly hit with startles, scares, and technology from one end of the Cave to the other.
