I'm with my local vfd and we are trying to start an annual haunted house one scare we'd like to do is one where you drop a person from the ceiling but we tried it last year and quickly learned the guy in the harness cant stay for long how else should we do this that's also safe
Have an upcoming audition at Erebus on the 8th of July, pretty excited about it, as this is something I’ve wanted to do for a while, this would be my first time working at a haunted attraction, and looking forward to possibly being part of the crew, and getting to play a character. Any advice on how to prepare or what to expect?
What is the best ghost tour in St. Augustine, FL for the money?
Hey all!
My partner and I have been collecting all things horror, primarily props, for the last couple of years now. We have been watching endless youtube videos of inside of the Transworld convention from this past year, and are dying to attend, if possible. I know it is not open up to the general public, and there is an option to register as an hobbyist/enthusiast. Does anyone have any insight in to that whole process, or know if any rules have changed? We would absolutely love to register and attend next year if the cards align :)
(NOTE: I have looked at their website and have a general sense about attending, but would love to know if anyone else has done this before and have any info!)
So this is a big mix of stuff I've acquired / found (a lot was found in the box of vintage halloween decorations I found at that garage sale in florida). Anyone have any experience going to any of these? Would love to hear stories about some of them, if anyone wants to share any experiences!
Nightmare Wharf, the NEW Halloween experience debuting this fall at Buffalo Naval Park revealed the themes for its three themed attractions: Project Blackwater inside the USS Little Rock, The Infected District, and The Boneyard midway. A cinematic trailer is also out.
Buffalo, NY — The Buffalo and Erie County Naval & Military Park is turning historic naval vessels and the city’s waterfront into three themed scarescapes for the inaugural Nightmare Wharf Halloween event this fall, and tickets are on sale now. We first covered the event when it was announced, but now we have details on the event’s three themed attractions, a preview trailer, and ticket options.
Project Blackwater takes place deep within the USS Little Rock and is described by the operator as “a Cold War era descent into paranoia, classified experimentation, and maritime horror.”
The Infected District is a “fog-soaked Victorian era waterfront outbreak zone where the dead roam beneath gaslight and industrial ruin.”
The Boneyard anchors the event as “a chaotic midway of twisted sideshow energy, roaming monsters, live entertainment, themed concessions, and the darker heart of Nightmare Wharf.”
The Naval Park described the event in its release as transforming portions of the waterfront and historic fleet “into a cinematic, story-driven Halloween experience blending theatrical environments, live performers, immersive effects, and the uniquely atmospheric interiors of the historic ships themselves.” The Naval Park said the event has been built to lean into “the industrial architecture, steel passageways, mechanical spaces, and atmosphere that make the Naval Park one of the most visually distinctive destinations in the region.”
A cinematic trailer for the event is available on YouTube.
“This is about more than Halloween,” said Brian Luallen, president and CEO of the Buffalo Naval Park. “It is about placemaking, audience development, and helping ensure the long-term sustainability of one of Buffalo’s most important cultural assets. Nightmare Wharf is designed to create an experience that is uniquely Buffalo and uniquely tied to the atmosphere, history, and authenticity of this waterfront and these historic ships.”
Bob Pecoraro, chairman of the board of directors, framed the event as part of a wider museum-ship and historic-attraction model. “Few places in America can offer an experience like this,” Pecoraro said. “Museum ships and historic attractions across the country have successfully used immersive events like this to expand audiences and support preservation efforts, and the Naval Park has discussed opportunities like Nightmare Wharf for years. We finally have the right team and the right vision to bring it to life.”
The Naval Park said revenue from Nightmare Wharf will directly support its broader mission, including preservation initiatives, educational programming, public events, and ongoing stewardship of the historic fleet. The Park also flagged the launch as arriving at a “critical time” as the organization continues navigating major preservation, remediation, and future drydocking efforts involving portions of the fleet.
Park officials said the experience was designed with attention to safety, historic preservation standards, and operational compatibility aboard the vessels, and that scenic and technical installations are “temporary and reversible elements consistent with preservation best practices.”
Tickets for Nightmare Wharf are on sale now. The Naval Park said additional attraction details, operating dates, themed events, and special experiences will be announced throughout the summer. The Buffalo and Erie County Naval & Military Park is the nation’s largest inland naval park and the home of four U.S. Naval vessels: USS The Sullivans, USS Little Rock, USS Croaker, and PTF-17.

I came up with an idea for a “Bob’s Burgers“ episode. What would happen if the Belcher went on a trip to Pennsylvania, and the main reason for the trip is for them to go to the “Field of Screams” annual haunted amusement park event.
The A plot is that Bob and Linda both wanna use this event to scare Louise, because another haunted house made up by them isn’t gonna work anymore. This event has three major haunted houses and a haunted hayride and it’s very popular. I wonder if Louise would get scared by it.
The B plot is Bob being fascinated by all the horror-themed dishes in the food truck area. I imagine he would go crazy trying to taste all of them despite him getting full.
So, please let me know what you think in the comments below.
Hey everyone! I’m a scare actor and in training, they told me to use Kryolan Clown White and set it using a cotton pad with fixing powder.
However it takes forever, smears the paint, and starts dissolving halfway through my shift.
Other actor told me her secret is just applying the makeup, powdering with a brush, and blasting the face with a hairspray to lock it down.
Have others heard about this hairspray trick or what other methods do you all use to keep makeup holding for a whole day? Thanks!
