Final Show night

Well I can not believe it is over!!! Last night (Saturday) was the final night for the Ekka Show. It was a successful run of 10 straight days starting at 8:30 am with makeup and ending with usually 10:00pm in the evening. By any standard,. this is a very demanding and brutal length of time for scaring people. What is really different is here in AUS folks were willing to see the show morning , noon, and night without any hesitation. In the US for the most part it seems that the patrons really only want to come out late in the evenings. Anyway back to the Ekka Show, I was very proud to say that the entire cast of Asians, Italians, German, British, Spanish, one Australian, and two Americans really made a huge hit at its premier showing. I feel that even though the travel hours (32 in flights each way) and the really long hours (average work day of 16 to 18) was well worth all the stress and challenges. Hollywood Horrors was a great success with all the patrons. During the show we faced gusting high winds of over 55 miles an hour, a major rain storm which was a record in the history books for this area and caused major flooding especially at the Show location, staffing a event with a multi international cast, and finally setting up a Scarefactory 2,600 square foot event for the first time really presented some huge challenges. So needless to say, I feel really good that my Hauntertainer training program and my 20 plus years of commercial professional haunting experience really added to the resources of Jay Jones one of the owners and operators of this event.
