KSF 2026 wardrobe and makeup workshops

An artisan was set up at the Town Hall during Nightmares Revealed working on actual new costumes for CarnEvil, Inked, and Unearthed. Also went to the makeup workshop where it was mentioned that they usually start at 3 to 5am each morning before Scary Farm to prep up to 400 scare actors (or whoever shows up that day). They also mentioned that clowns were particularly hard because of the details, and another challenge was getting prosthetics to stay adhered to very sweaty persons. Wanted to stick around longer, but I had to run to get good seats for the maze creators panel...

This little old lady had a great time 🧌✨

I forgot how amazing the spooky community is. Talking shop with people in line, the makeup artists, set up crew, and even some team members that were in line was literally my favorite thing out of the night!! Other than the widows maze of course it being one I my favorite mazes and getting to see things up close without someone bitching at my was FANTASTIC. The teeny bopper atmosphere was at a complete minimum like maybe 1 decibel literally such a great evening.
Did yall enjoy it? I didn’t try any of the food or snacks I went straight to the drinks and let me tell you that yellow thing in a pouch really hit the spot I was as lit as a tit some would say.
Honestly so excited for this season and everything it has to offer. ✨✨✨✨✨✨

Ai Slop

Seeing the AI-generated logo for Unearthed completely crushed my excitement for the maze in general. I’m so disappointed at whoever cleared this, especially with the many references to hand-drawn art and sketches made during the maze creator Q&A panel. Step it up, Knotts.

What maze are you more excited for?

Personally, I'm more excited for Inked. I absolutely love cartoon horror and believe that we need more of it. Also i love how similar it feels to Bendy and the Ink machine. On the other hand, I'm not very excited for Unearthed. Unearthed just seems like it has less heart put into it, from the Ai looking poster to the theme and story of it. Plus I just dont really care for mummies lol (not because I find them scary but because I'm just so tired of the mummy movies and mazes/houses using the same theme)

The Art and synopsis of Unearthed and Ink

Hey it looks like the person who done the previous artwork is back!

Also for Unearthed, yeah it looks like something similar is there but I can’t put my tongue on it

Edit: Damn I’m Ashamed that I’ve put Ink instead of Inked, my bad on that

So a question to the Scary Farm people - Designing t-shirt

With the knowledge that even though the maze is LEGIT nothing but hand drawn cartoons they decided to go the AI route with the T-shirt...again...I've come to the conclusion that I need to make my own shirt.

So far I have a few ideas:

  1. "Mickey right hand up, left hand hip pose" t-shirt with Catty Cat Clancy Cat. "Morbid Studios Est. 1930" is on the character in front but there's also a simple knife in his other hand on his hip
  2. "Animaniacs" t-shirt with the "M Studios circle as the base with the characters coming out of it like the titular three siblings. No blood and guts, a simple "Hey my kid would like that" type T-shirt. Especially because in the official poster art the pumpkin is the "Dim witted" one scratching his head on the statues on top of the theater.
  3. Any of the two T-shirt designs, but they also have either blood splatter on their greyscaled face (So bright red against light greys) or weapons in hand...and also blood splatter on the "M Studios" circle like the official name logo. Also angry faces than :D faces.

So far I have the "Morbid Studios" text done for altering, but failing hard for the "Est. 1930" text. Drawing them in comes after.

On the Official artwork for Inked and Unearthed

Major props to u/GannJerrod on not judging too soon on the artwork and doing research!

With that, it looks like Jeff Delgado actually worked on the art with him showing it on his instagram account

I was doubtful on it not being his art but, man I’m happy that I’m wrong on that

Do you have an unofficial scary farm outfit?

For some reason, I always find myself wearing the same jacket because it's not too thick, just warm enough, and not a pain to carry if I do get hot. Also has the perfect water bottle pockets.

Also, I don't care how unstylish they look. I'm wearing running shoes or cross trainers. Ain't no aura in the fog when your feet hurt.

How do Returning Mazes Stay Fresh?

This is only going to be my third year and I'm wondering, mazes that are the same from the year prior, do they change at all to stay fresh? Slight changes to story or design, a new animatronic?
