Just a Gripe

One thing that really torques me off is when people abuse a good thing. The good thing that I am talking about is my make up kit. I have no problem at all in putting make up on people. I have no problem with showing them how to do it also. I do have a problem when someone gets in my make up kit and uses the good make up to black out, or white out their face. I also have a problem with people using up my blood. I use my blood in my act.....when everyone else uses it up, I don't have any. I work in a kind of dimly lit area so the blood I use shows up quite nicely, especially when I spit it up on the ceiling. Somehow, my entire bottle of blood is now gone. Looks like I won't have any for my act this weekend.
Now, I spend about an hour a week making blood for everyone. But most people prefer to use my blood that I bought for myself. THAT'S the THING....I bought it for myself, not everyone else.
So the next time that you have someone who is kind enough to spend time and help you look scarier than what you looked like when you showed up at the Haunt, RESPECT THEIR MAKE UP KIT. Or better yet, show up in costume or make up all ready. It can be kind of tough making up 40 individuals in less than half an hour.

Opening Weekend

On September 24th, 2010, we had our opening day. The weather was perfect and our anticipation was high for a very successful night. Unfortunately, Murphy's Law intervened and it was a total nightmare. Equipment breakdowns, props not working correctly, actors not on their game, yes, even I was feeling a bit off, and other workers not wanting to do what they were supposed to be doing.

Besides all of the hassle, we actually put on a good show according to our satisfied customers. And that is the bottom line. Satisfying the customers. They are the ones that will make your Haunt, or any other business for that matter, a success or failure. If you do not give them a quality product, they will go elsewhere.

By the next day of operation, we had a lot of the bugs worked out of the system. Uncooperative actors were sent up the hill, props were fixed, and overall it was a very satisfying night.

We may have had a bumpy start, but it looks as if this season will end up being our best yet. Happy Haunting.

Changes

Along with the many changes that we have incorporated in The Lewisburg Haunted Cave...I have undergone some changes of my own. Here is the new look for Jebenezzer Law. Let me know what you think.
