Gore Galore’s 2010 Offering at Transworld Next Weekend

Gore Galore has been a friend of ours for quite some time and Kevin and his team never cease to amaze me with everything they offer.

A few weeks ago, Kevin was a guest on RFR Show #197 1-15-2010. And their new product line for 2010 will debut at the upcoming Transworld Haunt Show in St. Louis. Well, enough from us let’s let Gore Galore tell you themselves.

Release: We have been busier this past R&D season than ever here is a proof of the catalog that will be handed out at the Hauntshow next week. And we will also have one product at the show that is not finished yet. But you will love it. It is a “Scare Box” It is a queue-line actor scare. It is a puppet built into an illusion that looks like the actor is just carrying this distressed box but really it is a puppet monster in the box ready to jump our at your customers.

We added:
5 new oversized costumes.

1 is the Rock Golem which happens to be the single biggest costume we ever built for this industry.

We also developed a track system that can support from 400 to 900 lbs for any of our costumes or huge oversized Actor operated animations we now have the capability to build to use with this system. Another costume is Cletis Slackjaw a 9′ inbred freak. Gas Mask Maniac. a 9′ techno terror, a 7′ bloody bull, and the Hollowman a form fitting latex suit made possible by Headless Horseman hayrides.

6 new my Pet zombies. We are also able to take any zombie head prop or mask from any company and make a zombie out of it for you.

Tons of new wall decor items. and bringing back some old ones.

Lost of new gory details that can all be used together as a COMPLETE SCENIC PACKAGE called the “House of Gore”

Zombie head plaques with hands to hold the weapon the zombie was killed with, or without hands. And tons of zombie heads to choose from. Plus a zombie face plaque. Again, many faces to choose from.

Barrel toppers. We developed a new product called a barrel topper that allows you to throw this panel on top of a closed drum and it makes it look like the drum is full of gore. 2 models to choose from. and several finishes to choose from to fit most any theme.

Gore pile is similar as above except you just toss it on the floor for a super easy detail.

Gore Trays. Zombie food packaged in food service trays.

Several new severed heads

Actor props: several new small actor props hatchet, wrench, mini sledge, and femur bone. We did these for a movie so it was easy to bring them to market. But the best of all these is our ability to take any one of our severed heads, zombie heads etc… and mount on a rope handle so your actors can shake in the face of your customers. We have been doing this for years but now with over 50 heads to choose from you can get several to use without them looking the same.

5 neck biters. We added 3 new neck biters to our line. Neck biters are also actor props that allow you to interact and distract your customers. Clown biter, baboon biter, and a gargoyle biter.

And a new flat backed corpse called Gnarly Natalie. It is a very detailed blank corpse we can do tons of “custom gorification”. We can detail this corpse out so many different ways you can get several and they will all look completely different. Makes a great autopsy corpse. We can even add a head.

The Evolution of Ghosts in Haunted Attractions

by: RFR Casket Crew Storm

Greetings Deadites,

Over the past few years, the popular opinion of what a ghost looks like has had some major changes. The days of Casper the Friendly ghost are gone, and no more cutting holes in the bedroom linens or spray painting a zombie costume white to have a ghost terrorize visitors to you haunt. Here are some of the challenging new forms ghosts have taken and how to incorporate them into haunt designs.

Orbs: Maybe it’s Uncle Marty, maybe its dust and a camera flash, regardless there are enough believers out there that haunt owners can put away the lemon Pledge and add more strobe lights anyplace for an instant Orb Ghost room when patrons are present

Voices: Disembodied voices and EVP type effects have always been a staple of haunts, but with this growing ghost phenomenon haunters have to be more creative with the content. Gone are the tried but true deep growling “Get Out” , and more common are the soft garbled sounds that resemble a bad drive through speaker. That might be good for concessions when patrons go through asking “Did you just say you died here or asked me if I want fries?”

Shadow People: These creepy ghostly shadows like to dart behind things in abandoned buildings and lighthouses, but they make the haunt budget happy when you can have a dot room without dealing with painting any dots.

Heat Signatures: Apparently the Predator could have also scored a role in the sixth sense with this new technology for Ghosts to reveal themselves. While the FLIR goggles for patrons might be expensive, the actors will appreciate the new sauna you install for them to relax in before running through the haunt ahead of the patrons touching and sitting in props.

EM Fields: Is there an evil presence in the basement or should you fire your electrician. While both scenarios are scary just hope your patrons know to look for Electromagnetic spikes when you send them into your new Basement of Spirits attraction with the prop EMF detectors.

Blurry Glowing Things: Was that a moth on the camera of the gas station or a restless Pony Express rider? The real fear will take place as you paint a thousand June bugs with phosphorescent paint and let them loose in your haunt.

Moving Stuff: What goes bump in the night? Well in your haunted house it can be everything if you loosen some floor boards and cut 1 leg on each table and chair a little short. The pain will be hiring actors to play the role of haunt pin monkeys for the reset.

Mist: Anyone gets creeped out by the low crawling fog that begins to take unearthly shapes. Only one good way to accomplish this on demand… Remote Control Fog, I’m sure there is some military research already on that one.

So until next time Deadites, Sit Back, Relax, and Rot Away…

Want a Wish or Fortune this Halloween? Get it from Zoltar!

Growing up we remember many things, from pop culture to films that influenced us. I clearly remember a film with Tom Hanks called BIG. In this film, Hanks makes a wish to be a grown up at an old Coney Island Fortune Teller stand. I often wanted something like that to happen to me.

Well, since that was never bound to happen, how about the next closet thing? Zoltar! Zoltar is a fortune teller inspired from the movie BIG. Zoltar was a staple at many piers across the nation from Coney Island to Florida’s Daytona Beach and more. And this interactive actor portraying the role makes it even more creepy by having the Fortune Telling Box mounted on a segway! So now he can torment, read the future and entertain people as they try to run in fear, or follow along in curiosity. Zoltar took FIRST PLACE in the 2009 Coney Island Mermaid Parade, and is gaining his own following of admirers.

Now you can also have Zoltar at your event as well anytrime of the year! You can hire Zoltar to tell fortunes, creep people out, and entertain those guests at events. Zoltar’s master, Jonathan Gleich, has a real job and management frowns on side work, so Zoltar is only available for Friday-Saturday-Sunday appearances. If you need Zoltar for an extended period in strange and wondrous lands, Jonathan has three weeks vacation sometime in the year.

So for some Halloween fun and fortune, ASK ZOLTAR and maybe, just maybe in true Tom Hank style, it may come true!
