Screamline Studios continues to give prizes away to you Deadites every week for tuning into RFR. Well, their new online store has been re-launched and is ready for shopping. After some re-working and getting things in order for the upcoming Midwest Haunters Convention, here is their press release.
PRESS RELEASE:
We just wanted to give everyone a heads up and announce that our site and shopping page is fully updated finally. We will still be adding other products here and there but most of what we will be offering for this years season is there. http://www.screamlinestudios.com. Thanks for your patience and understanding for the delay.
We also want to take a moment and give you all some exciting news. As you know we will be exhibiting at the Midwest Haunters Convention. Stop by and say hi! We will be selling our entire Tradeshow booth at the show. This is a basic 10′ x 20′ booth fully decorated and built by Screamline Studios. It comes with all hardware, wall sconces and lighting. This is going to go for a very reasonable price (which I cannot disclose until the show opens), however you must make arrangements to take it when the show ends on Sunday. Or you can pick it up from our shop in Painesville, Ohio after the show.
We will also be having many special prices on most of the items we bring. As an added bonus we will be bringing rejects (besides ourselves) and seconds to sell at crazy low prices for you bargain hunters out there.
Don’t forget! Screamline Studios wants to be your number one supplier of Slush Latex. Available sizes will be 1/2 gallon, 1 gallon and 5 gallon containers. Save on shipping and pick it up at the show. It normally goes pretty fast so come early if you need to stock up before its gone.
Thanks so much to all our friends and fans in the industry that have been so supportive over the years.
Deadites, Haunters, Actors and more….
Limited Space is still available for our Memorial Weekend 2-day INTENSIVE CLASS and the Midwest Haunter’s Friday Pre-Con event is filling up fast as well. If you reserve the Memorial Weekend Class before May 20 you will save $20.00 off the normal price.

When her twentieth wedding anniversary was approaching, Sue Davis of Vienna, Ohio, knew that she wanted to renew her wedding vows and exactly where she wanted to do it; the Haunted Mansion at Knoebels Amusement Resort in Elysburg, PA.
Sue Davis and her husband, Rick are two of the three founders of the Darkride and Funhouse Enthusiasts (DAFE), an organization devoted to the appreciation of “dark attractions,” so this came as no surprise to those that know the couple. Sue said “After seeing some of the fun things that couples have done for their weddings, I wished that Rick and I would have thought of it. Of course we couldn’t go back in time, but we could do something special and unusual for our twentieth anniversary.”
Since weddings on rollercoasters have become rather old-hat, Sue and Rick decided that they should renew their vows at one of their favorite “darkrides” the Haunted Mansion at Knoebels Amusement Resort.
They didn’t have to search far for a minister willing to do it, their friend and fellow amusement park enthusiast, the Reverend Cliff Herring had married more than 50 couples on rollercoasters. A haunted house wedding however, was something new so he jumped at the chance to preside. The couple and their entourage dressed befitting their surroundings during the park’s Halloween event, Phoenix Phall Phunfest, October 4th. Sue was in a gothic vampire dress, Rick was costumed as a Victorian undertaker and the wedding party was outfitted as vampires. Hundreds of park guests lined the midway to watch the ceremony.
Following the ceremony the wedding party boarded ride cars for a trip in the dark through the amusement ride before being whisked away in their “limousine”, a classic 1970 Cadillac hearse. Rick remarked, “The secret to a long marriage is never taking yourselves too seriously; you have to keep things interesting and do the unexpected once in a while.”
Costumes for Kids is program designed to collect new or used costumes, make-up, costumes for disabled children to give them the Halloween they deserve.
The program has officially launched this year and we are looking for haunted attractions, individuals, halloween enthusiasts and more to donate their new, unused, and gently used costumes. These costumes in return will be distributed to children who are less fortunate, and children with disabilities including hard to find costumes themes for children in wheel chairs and special needs.
All we ask is that you contact us, and ship your costumes to us so we can have them cleaned and sent to the families in need to give the children a very special Halloween every year. All sizes are acceptign from infant on up.
Don’t let the name fool you. We also accept Make-Up (unopened), Halloween favors and decor and such to bring the whole Halloween experience to these children and families. For more look at our Items Wanted or Needed page.
We will also have posters available to download that you can put up and start your own drive to help this cause. Not every child is able to celebrate Halloween as they should so let’s give them that chance to escape hard times, disabilities and special needs by bringing them some simple joy.
How To Get Involved
You can get involved with Costumes For Kids by donating items, setting up a costume drive at your local event, haunted house or school gathering. We have a variety of posters you can use to hang up, banners for your websites, flyers and more to get you started. When the time arrives for you to ship your items just send us an email and we will tell you how to get them to us. ONLY ONE PERSON? Send your children’s past items no longer in use. Every single person is needed to help Costumes For Kids.
For the Halloween 2008 Season all items should be received by October 20th to make it in time for trick or treating and Halloween for the families and children. If you are a Haunted House you can do a drive and send it to us or do a drive all season and ship it for next year. If you are interested in being a Sponsor contact us as well. We are looking for sponsors to supply wristbands, awareness, offset shipping and anything you think may help the cause.
A few weeks ago we had a contest on the Rotting Flesh Radio website. Many entered and we have thousands of votes to pick the winner. Well a winner was crowned and below is the FINISHED MASK in time for Halloween, Enjoy.

The year 2008 is definitely a period of economic challenging times for any business and that includes the Halloween business. The long term forecast for this October will be one of continued shrinking budgets for the average American family with gas, utilities and food costs expected to continue to rise. Taking all this into account… it is MORE important than EVER to make sure your haunted event is the BEST it can be… meaning giving the customer “the best bang for their buck”! Patrons will be spending their entertainment dollars carefully… so prepare your staff to be the VERY BEST!

Brian and Nick Wolfe are conducting a 2 day face painting seminar and a one day special effects seminar in Lock Haven, PA on August 1, 2, 3.
August 1-2 Friday/Saturday will include basic anatomy and horror makeup skills. It will be from 10-5 pm with a lunch break. I am looking to set up a dinner get together for everyone if you would like to join and just chat about the industry in general. August 3 Sunday will include basic air brushing and special effects.
This is our first face painting seminar so bare with me. We felt it necessary to educate some of our folks at our haunt. Space is limited and first come first serve. Deposit is required (non refundable) asap.
Cost is going to be around 350-400 for Fri/Sat. If you attend Fri/Sat class Sunday will be an additional 100.00. If you want to do Sunday only it will be 200.00.
We have not secured the location for class yet. So I don’t have exact cost of course. I am trying to keep all cost down because of short notice, travel expenses, etc. I am NOT making a cent on this and paying for all my own folks to attend as well. I am working with the local Best Western for a special rate for everyone.
You can bring your own paint kits are they will have it available for purchase (they said around 50.00 a kit). I will also have some on hand.
This is open to anyone, owners, actors, home haunters, etc. if you are interested, please them immediately at 570-660-5504 or email me at heather@reohp.com.
