The All-New Haunted Castle on Santa Cruz Boardwalk Begins

Dark Ride Enthusiasts were sad last summer when the World Famous Haunted Castle on the Satan Cruz Beach Boardwalk was demolished. Dark Rides have always been fun and were the early beginnings of the current Haunted Attractions we all love now. I continue to love Dark Rides, and of course like most, Haunted Mansion is a must ride!

Well construction on the All-New Haunted Castle have begun. The new attraction will go through three stories. Yes 3 Floors! It is going to incorporate the newest Special Effects in the Dark Ride and Haunted Attraction Industries to date. I am sure the guuys over at DAFE are going to Love this one.

GETTING DEMOLISHED:

We are currently working on talking to the team who is putting together this all new attraction to get them on RFR soon to discuss it and what to expect. The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk will get this breath of fresh air in its’ attractions sometime this summer is the ETA. We will keep you posted as it unfolds. So in a world where we love our walk through Haunted Attractions, the awesomeness of the Dark Ride still lives on.

THE NEW PLANS:

Transworld Haunt and Attractions Show is Coming…

Raycliff Manor 2009 Haunt Season Night Vision Footage

2009 was a great year for the Haunt Industry and many Haunted Attractions were very successful in marketing and customers throughput this past season.

One of those haunts was Raycliff Manor. This event continues to grow with its owners and operators taking it up a notch each season. One of which you may know as Kelly Allen the author of the “So You Want To Be…” and “Fright Team Management” books from HauntBook.com

Well in the season is over and here is some Night Vision footage they captured during the season of patrons going through the event.

Pale Night Productions End of the Year BLOWOUT!

One of the most talked about vendors this past Haunt Season was Pale Night Productions and most of all their Asylum Door. And we have to admit, that item ruled at every Haunt we toured this season. Well, as the we continue with the RFR 5th Annual Morbidly Merry Christmas Celebration, why not some great Christmas Deals for you?

Pale Night Productions is having a huge BLOWOUT SALE for One Month and One Month only! Pale Night Productions will be offering some great deals on many of their already Low Priced products.

They have a large variety of items including that Asylum Door we mentioned. The Asylum Door is slashed and chopped to $3150 which normally retails for $3750. This animation is the first of it’s kind integrating CGI with an animatronic to create a truly unique effect. When triggered, a ghoul is seen coming down the hallway. She then attempts to break through the glass before hacking at the door with her axe which leaves actual dents in the door. The Asylum Door also comes with a full digital sound track. This prop must be seen to be appreciated.

Price includes pre-programmed control hardware, solid state video player, monitor, flow control valves, digital sound module, 6in. by 23in. mat switch trigger, and all necessary electrical and pneumatic connections. Prop connects to air lines with a 1/4in. male quick connect coupling. Requires 100psi compressed air and 110VAC electrical.

In addition they have their Cold Fogger for only $175. The Cold Fogger is everything you ever wanted from a fog machine and could never have. To begin with, it runs on mere tap water with no additives what so ever so there’s never any fog fluid to constantly replace. In addition, it produces a cold, dry ice like fog in seconds that hugs the floor or surface of your water source and if placed in a container like an oil drum the fog will spill over the sides and cascade to the floor. The effect is amazing and really must be seen to be believed.

There is even more items we have not mentioned so be sure to check out their BLOWOUT SALE page. And to top it off any order placed during this event must be paid in full by 12/31/2009 to receive the discounts listed…but products can be shipped early in 2010, held until the Transworld show for pick-up, or held until closer to haunt season 2010 for shipment. And you can also save on every other product in their entire inventory not listed on the sale page for an additional 10% off the already great retail prices.

The Haunt Industry’s Mike “Tattoo” Krausert Gets Some Southborough Halloween Loving

As RFR has been in the Haunt Industry for so many years, under RFR or Affiliated with a Haunt, we have known some individuals for quite some time and one of those is our good friend Mike “Tattoo”. Many in the industry know him from Terror on the Fox and most recently from Nightmare New England. Well, one of the RFR Casket Crew caught this artcile on our good friend. Congrats to Mike and enjoy the read.

By Abby Jordan/Daily News staff
Forget the cute or kitschy costumes. Growing up, Mike Krausert was the kid who went weird on Halloween, crafting the creepiest costume he could think of to frighten his teachers and classmates.

Things haven’t changed much for Krausert, a Southborough resident who, at 37, has built his career on masterminding some of the scariest Halloween attractions in the country. Only now Krausert has a bigger audience – he is the director of operations at SpookyWorld/Nightmare New England in Litchfield, N.H., where more than 72,000 people are expected to scream their way through seven haunted attractions, games and rides this month.

From directing bloody brides and killer clowns to masterminding scenes in cemeteries and the woods, Krausert has had a big hand in the more than year-long process leading up to tonight’s opening night of the 19-day season. “It’s a passion of mine,” Krausert said. “I’ve very fortunate to do what I love.”

SpookyWorld offers games like zombie paintball, go-carts and mini golf. Other attractions include live music and concessions. Three new haunts debut this year, including “Night Feeder,” “Demented” and “House of Eternal Darkness.” There’s even a burial simulator in which people lay in a coffin, the lid is closed, and the sounds, smells and motion of a hearse, funeral home and cemetery are unleashed.

The haunts are rated PG-13, aimed mostly at older kids, teens and adults, though Krausert said the attractions are nothing to take lightly. “There are no black walls or sheets saying ‘Boo’ here,” he said. “We pride ourselves on being the scariest and most intense Halloween park in New England.”

The familiar touches of local towns have found their way into the park. Krausert said he’s gleaned ideas for scary scenes while driving past old barns and homes in the area, and is drawn to headstones in a Milford cemetery…..
