More and more customers are expecting bigger and better chills, thrills, and theme park style sets and shows.

Dark Tech Effects can also help bring your Haunt to the Next Level.

This past 2009 Halloween Season they developed an interactive haunt parlor called Morbid Curiosity for Spookywoods. “I’m always looking for ways to keep my haunt fresh in the customers’ eye, which is one of the hardest things to do since we started in 1985. When I was contacted by Bill Rodriguez offering show control programming we decided to build a side attraction called Morbid Curiosity. This side attraction is a 15 minute Séance. My customers are lining up for over an hour to get a chance to see this one of a kind experience. Bill was so meticulous in coming up with every little detail and made our new side attraction a huge success from the first show. His expertise in this area was amazing to see and a very easy process for us to let him go wild with the technology. If you’re looking to set your haunt apart from the competition, look no further than Bill Rodriguez to take you there.” said Tony Wohlgemuth, President of Spookywoods Haunted Attraction.

One of the best parts aboutthe All-New Dark Tech Effects is they will not hesitate to travel for Custom Installations! No project is too big or too small and dates have already been booked for the 2010 season.
