Scare-Actor Spotlight: Ro Tag

by: RFR Casket Crew Unknown Scare Actor

As Rotting Flesh Radio draws closer to the Haunt Season, we continue to bring the Haunted Attraction Industry, Halloween Fun, Home Haunt, Pro Haunt and more to you weekly. With that said, we like to bring you the people who bring those haunted houses to life, scare you and make you shiver in fear every Halloween. So this week we continue with our SCARE ACTOR SPOTLIGHT.

Haunted House Scare Actor: RoTag

Haunted house Scare Actor: RoTag

Let me start by saying that my name isn’t ro tag; but it is the name I use when online & scare acting. I’ve always been into the Halloween bit. As a kid I almost always dressed as a grim reaper. I first got the taste for scare acting when I was in middle school & participated in a fun, but short lived haunted house that the 4h horse & pony club. I would roam around as the grim reaper but didn’t really discover how much fun scaring could be till the night they stuck me in a casket & I got to control the push button fog machine.

Now after that, I was no longer timid of haunted houses & started to visit several as a patron. After the year of 2008, I decided that I would try-out for Kings Island’s Halloween Haunt in 2009. I got placed in there attraction called Urgent Scare as an infected nurse towards the end of the maze (if you have seen the movie called “The Crazies”, that’s what the attraction was based around). It wasn’t too much longer after rehearsals that I started to explore my talents.

I had some nights where I would sit on toppled over shopping carts & play statue; then for the one’s who wouldn’t be paying attention. That’s when I would snap to life on them. There were other nights that I would fit into small tight spaces that you wouldn’t expect someone (let alone a BIG guy) to be hiding in & pop out rapidly making cannibalistic snarling noises. Then there were times that I could get a group twice, once & the beginning of a straight away & then sneak down the backside of the straight away to nail them again when they would reach that end; followed by a sorta dance back down to other end of straight away. There were times I couldn’t necessarily get back in time for the next group coming, so I would sprint down the straight away till I got near them, then I would side step & bounce up off the curb to get airborne & look like I was going to land on top of them (but I made sure I never did land on them (safety). & lastly one of the easiest scares I learned to do is that I figured out how to make the fog thick enough outdoors to where I could hide in it. Then I would take on huge step (bout 6 ft lunge) toward the guest & snarl in there ear (while keeping a smile on my face), followed by flinging myself back into the dark shroud of the fog.

I went through the 2010 season visiting haunts & doing some fill-in work here & there. During the off-season, I was going to horror conventions dressed as Dr. Ro Tag. The basis behind this character is that he is a Zombie Voodoo Doctor. He has an accent that is a cross between Cajun & German. I do like this character, but I also miss the scaring; so this year, I can be found out on a trail as a scarecrow @ a place called The Mayhem Mansion. It’s located on 13966 DeCoursey Pike, Morning View, KY 41063. For more info on this Scream in the woods, you can visit: www.TheMayhemMansion.com.

Some advice for the newbie’s that are just getting there start: Rest up before your nights of scaring as it can wear you out if you don’t get plenty off it. Explore your surroundings to help build your character Bring enough cough drops &/or water that you can disguise in your scene Know the difference between someone slinging a punch out of fear & someone just trying to harass you.

Build multiple scenarios as to keep yourself fresh (that way you don’t get bored & if you encounter the same guest over & over, you can provide them with a little new material. Always listen to the veterans as they are a plethora of insider info & been there long enough to know what works & what doesn’t. Don’t & I repeat DON’T say “boo” or “get out”. Those are just cliché & tacky. & lastly don’t let anyone get you down or say that you suck. Prove them wrong by scaring the hell out of them.

Morbid Manor Haunted House Dark Attraction Opens Big

Morbid Manor Haunted House

Morbid Manor Haunted Attraction

Morbid Manor is the All-New Haunted Attraction that can be found at the Sportland Pier. It recently has opened to the public for the first time this past week to outstanding reviews and compliments from Haunt Enthusiasts and Dark Riders alike!

Morbid Manor is the a self guided walk through haunted house in the same vein of a classic dark ride, without the omni movier style moving system. Previously it had a working title of “House of Haunts” has been gaining alot of attention since it debuted. Most are in awe of the fun, detail, spookiness and the overall fun factor to the 3,000 square foot attraction.

The Haunted Attraction has the essence of a classic Mansion with a variety of Live Actors, Animatronics, and Special FX exclaiming they are the scariest and spookiest, most fun attraction you can find on the boardwalk! We will see how this holds up once another, yet rumored, Haunted Attraction is set to open at Sportland Pier later in the summer of 2011. So far the pier and area seem to be a pretty sweet hotbed for Haunted Attraction with Morey’s Piers’ Ghost Ship and the Morey’s Fears Halloween Events, it seems the golden age of boardwalk, pier fun is back in the Haunted Attraction Amusement Arena and it is about time and long over due.

These kind of events used to be the must-see events at piers and boardwalks tracing our Haunt Industry History to those early days of attractions. These are what defined the Haunted Attraction we know of today!

So keep your eyes peeled for more to pop up and a new trend in attractions to be born.

Dan Krein: Creator of Souls Of The Forsaken

by: RFR Casket Crew Brian Foreman

When I first saw Dan Krein’s video of Souls of the Forsaken I had to replay it several times just to catch all the detail he had put into his Home Haunt! His haunt ranked among the few who made it to the top of the Home Haunter’s Association for Top Home Haunts of 2010. You can feel his passion for Halloween just by reading this interview. And passion is what really keep us going into the next year anyway, right? I know that is what keeps me typing, podcasting, blogging, and haunting. Passion is contagious and I’m starting to feel a bit like attending a trade show or something. I can relate to Dan and plan on grabbing a beer with him at TransWorld this year. If this interview with Dan doesn’t spark a bit of passion in you then pull the dagger out of your heart, close down your Haunt, and go watch a Justin Bieber video.

Congrats on making the Top 15 at the Home Haunter’s Association!

It was an honor to be listed in the Top 15 Home Haunts for the HHA contest. There are many great home haunts out there and to be considered as a finalist was such an honor. I hope that this will bring more attention to my haunt and get my haunt noticed by the professionals. My plan is to open my own professional haunt in the very near future. I feel that I am ready and can’t wait to go pro. It’s my dream.

How did you get started in Home Haunting?

I started small with a few Halloween props in the front yard. My wife had purchased some gory items on Ebay and we displayed them in the front yard and garage. She found out about Transworld while looking up Halloween related stuff on the internet. She asked the supplier of our first props, Jeremy from Creepy Collections (who was just starting out his business), to help us get into the show . He did and so in 2007 we attended our first Transworld in Chicago. This was “the moment” when all things changed. I entered the show and all hell broke loose. I was reborn as a Home Haunter!!!!!

How many years have you been converting your home into a Halloween playground?

2011 will be my 6th year as a home haunter. Over the past 2 years I consider myself to be an extreme home haunter. The difference I believe is in the addition of my backyard walk through haunted house. So not only do I display and have an attraction in my front yard and garage. But I also have a fully constructed 7 room haunted house with actors consuming my entire backyard.

What are the good/evil sides of Home Haunting?

The Pros: seeing all the visitors that come out each year and enjoying themselves. Having a great community function that all can attend. I love to hear screams and laughs from everyone. I know when that is happening that all the blood sweat and tears I put into the haunt is well worth it.  I love the positive feed back that the visitors tell me. I can hear them talking about the haunt as they are getting back into their cars and you know they enjoyed themselves. Each year there are hundreds of repeaters- this is awesome. Last year I joined “Haunts Against Hunger” and raised over $5,000 worth of food for my local food pantery. The other pro is that I am doing what I really, and I mean really love! This is my passion and I believe that I finally have found my calling.

The cons that arise start with not being able to spend a lot of time with my family while getting the haunt ready each year. Everyone is involved with the haunt when October rolls around but otherwise I don’t see enough of them with the haunt and a full-time job.  I hate having to take it all down. I have no real place to store it. And have not been able to park in my garage in years, eat in my dining room, or finish my basement due to all the props. A lot of things around the house get put on the back burner due to time and funds that are not available.   It takes 2 months to put up the haunt and a month to take it down. I really spend 365 days a year planning, designing, constructing then building the haunt.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgJP6eZpea0&w=480&h=390]

Do you build or buy most of your props?

Most of the props are purchased while attending the Transwold show. I do make my own props now and am learning all the time and expanding my collection. I design the layout , decorate and highly detail the haunt each year. My favorite vendors are Ghost Ride Prod, Unit 70, Creepy Collections, and Distortions. There are so many others but too many to list. I love them all.

What is one Halloween memory that motivated you and led you here?

My vivid memory comes from Brookfield JC’s haunted house. I look back upon it as a terrifying experience for a young boy. But I enjoyed every minute of it. Chainsaws have a particular place in my heart…

Word of encouragement for those aspiring Haunters out there?

Always enjoy doing it.  Always try to surpass your own expectations. Challenge yourself to make it better each year. And always try to help out a fellow Home Haunter..

Canadian Haunters Convention This Weekend

RELEASE CA HAUNTS CON:
Firstly, I have to tell you that I don’t think the Welcome Rally is to be missed! TJ Mannarino from Universal Studios Orlando will be speaking that evening, as will Leonard Pickel, and myself. This is a free event, everyone is invited! TJ will be touching on how they build their Halloween Horror Nights event at Universal as a preview of his seminar on Saturday. Leonard will be giving a “State of the Industry” address, and I will be talking about the future of the Canadian Industry. Each of these talks will be about a half hour long, so some real meat and potatoes there!

Immediately following the Welcome Rally, a bus will be leaving for the Haunt Tour out at Mr. Pumpkin. Brian over there at the venue says the more the merrier in terms of attendance, and therefore lots of spots available on the tour. Tickets are just $35 and that includes some light refreshments at the event.

For those of you staying behind, the Tradeshow Floor will be open on Friday night also, and the vendors will be happy to talk to you about their amazing products and services. The Black Widow Hearse Club will have at least 5 fully restored vintage funeral cars right on the Tradeshow Floor.

Saturday is an action packed day, with seminars all day for one low price. Some of the biggest names in the business are presenting over the weekend, including Leonard, TJ, me, Gordon Smith, and more. I also wanted to highlight the Haunted Hamilton talk on the truly haunted places of Niagara Region. This is a free talk, first-come first-served. Secondly, I bring your attention to a special guest appearance in Wayne Mallows, author of Whitechapel Road. Wayne will be available for book signings, autographs, and photo ops at various times on Saturday. His partner in crime, Stef Von Riot, promises to be in full vampire attire on Saturday.


Saturday evening we have the VIP Dinner. Here’s your chance to rub elbows and share a meal with the likes of Leonard, TJ, and author Wayne Mallows. And at just $21 per person, you couldn’t ask for a better deal. Again, there are still seats available, and you can make payment when you arrive to register at the convention centre.

Later that evening we are hoping to do some bowling! There is an alley right on site at the convention centre, and they have promised after 10:30 pm to offer a Rock-n-Bowl with blacklight, great tunes, cold drinks, and lots of socializing. I’m thinking you should come in costume and make an evening of it. Pricing will be announced soon, but will include 3 games of bowling and shoe rental.

Sunday, while a little more low-key, is not to be discounted. We still have some great workshops we are negotiating to book, and the Tradeshow will be open also. The highlight seminar in my opinion is Gordon Smith, a man who pioneered a technique in the FX industry that has literally become the standard in the film/TV industry. He will be giving an intensive clinic on his techniques and how you can use them to bring a greater professionalism to your own event.

And as if all that wasn’t enough, we have been fortunate to attract a LOT of media attention for this event. To name a few, the SPACE Channel will be covering the event; as will CHCH TV Hamilton, TV Cogeco Niagara, and the St. Catharines Standard.

All of the television outlets will be shooting footage on site, some on Friday in order to promote the event over the weekend.

So, I suppose I’ve gushed enough for one email. I hope that you feel I have worked hard enough to earn your support. I have done all of this for the benefit of the industry in Canada, and now I’m here, hat in hand, asking for your patronage of this monumental event. I know it’s not as big as some of the US events yet, but with your help and support it can get there.

I look forward to meeting you at the convention this weekend, and hearing your thoughts and ideas for Canadian Haunters Convention 2011.

What is up with Rotting Flesh Radio???

Alright Deadites,

After thousands of emails, a server crashing and a TV deal in thew works…many have emailed or called and was wondering what is up with RFR?

So now that I have a minute it is time to address you with all the good news, things going on and more!

Enjoy and please let us know what you think.

1) TV Deal?
Yes, RFR has recently in the last 14 days signed a deal with a major cable TV Network to host a 30 min. TV Series based on the haunt industry. It will cover Haunted Attractions, Conventions, Vendors, Products, Home Haunters and more.

We have been busy with lawyers signing paper after paper to make this all a done deal. I am however limited to what I can say right now due to contractual obligations, but we WILL keep you posted. It happened because of all you Deadites! This is a core reason we have been AWOL for a while dealing with more paper work than ever.

It will premiere in 2011.

2) Server Crashed..Again?
As many of you Deadites know in the past, we have had to upgrade our servers in order to accommodate all the listeners and downloads.

As of last week Friday, we have increased listeners in the last two months by double! Due to this, the all of you faithful listeners downloaded the show at once and the server crashed as a result. We ended up getting the show fixed and up by Monday night and continued to fix the server until late on Thursday.

We are currently looking for a Major Web Sponsor of the show to help offset these costs and to bring you the best show each week on a secure server.

3) Website updates?
Daily news will resume hourly on Monday once again.

4) RFR2: 24/7 Station?
This is still a reality and WILL debut this year. We are looking for exclusive sponsors to help make that effort easier. But fear not is will be coming.

5) Conventions.
RFR is attending and vending at over 30+ events this year so be on the look out for us and if not at a booth, then for the RFR Crew.

6) RFR 5th Anniversary.
RFR turns 5 in October. YES 5 years bringing you all the news, celebrities, coverage and more. And YOU made it happen. For our 5 year you can expect many things to come to the site, the show, and more. We cannot say it all, but be prepared!

7) RFR Casket Crew.
They are the hardest working team I know of! We will be bringing more of the crew to you soon. The Crew will soon become more active to the RFR community than EVER! So now you can get to know the team more that you hear each week on RFR.

8) Family time.
Family Time is the most important no matter what we do. We do LOVE you Deadites and the Haunt industry, but we also make it a point to spend that quality family time even through all these changes and fun things to come to RFR. We know you already understand that one.

FINAL THOUGHTS:
RFR has been in a major shift for the better and thank you all for being there since the beginning to the Original Haunt Industry show since 2005! It is because of you that we are still here and growing!

If you are interested in helping with RFR in anyway, or are a business interested in the above topics email me: jonathan@rfrpodcast.com

Fright Times Magazine Rises Again with a New Owner

March 19, 2010 Uncategorized No Comments


So it seems rising from the grave that Fright Times Magazine is back with an all new owner. Read On RFR Deadites:

West Deptford, NJ, March 9, 2010: Fright Times Magazine will resume publication with an upcoming issue available for purchase in April. Fright Times will also have an official relaunch debut at the National Haunters Convention & Halloween show in King of Prussia, PA located in the Valley Forge Convention Center.

Now under the guidance of National Halloween & Haunters Convention Co-Owner Robert F. Kocher, the revitalized magazine will appear in full-color. The first new issue is aptly dubbed “Unearthed from the Grave” Fright Times focuses on the Haunted House Industry and fans of the Halloween season.

Issues 15 and 16 will have a distribution of 5,000, including visibility at haunted houses, conventions, horror clubs and Halloween events.

A yearly Fright Times mail subscription costs $20.00. The illustrious magazine will appear twice per year—once in the spring to help haunters prepare for the season and again around Halloween at the height of the holiday that makes it happen.

The relaunch includes a completely new Web site located at www.FrightTimes.com. On the site, readers can browse early-industry historical issues free of charge, subscribe instantly via PayPal, download exclusive Fright Times desktop wallpaper, submit articles, discuss industry news on the message board and retrieve information about the advertising specs and magazine staff.

The Web site also includes photos of celebrities who have enjoyed Fright Times over the years as well as multimedia selections.

About Fright Times:
Originating under the skillful direction of John Denley of Boneyard Productions in 1996, Fright Times Magazine enjoyed a six-year run with increased readership. Like the Halloween and haunting industry it represents, Fright Times originally grew out of the popularity of haunting as a hobby.
