Where has the time gone! I am truly sorry for all those days I have not kept up with the blogging however we ...all the staff have been doing many long days and nights trying to build one of AUS. premier haunted house programs. There is a major difference between the USA and AUS events as this is a festival (fair) style where your day begins at 9:00 am in the morning and runs till 10:30 pm. So that means 30 minutes before opening and 30 minutes after closing is also needed to be ready for the festival goers who are truly having a great time seeing this attraction. Do the math - an average day including rebuilding walls, repairing the sets, acting, and meeting TV/radio/ media event staff makes it average 15 to 18 hour days for a straight run of 10 days in a row. I am very proud of the 12 international acting staff who have come together to make "Hollywood Horror" event a success. I will elaborate more on the staff in the next blog. It is also nice that one of my key staff - Jerry Chaffee aka "Nemisis" was able to come and be a part of this training activity as well so as to have my back at the front door of the operations. Jerry by the way is staying in AUS till September 28 and then returns home to Fremont, Ohio to be in time for my beloved Haunted Hydro Park opening 3 days later!!!! AUS currently has several haunted "ghost rides" but no walk through events. Jay Jones and his business partner "Jamie" saw this as a golden opportunity to start a new event at the fairs and festivals that they already have other business activities at. Thus "Hollywood Horror" was born and Turner Enterprise Inc was hired via the "Hauntertainer University" to train all the actors to make this an international success. We have had many interesting challenges so far and in my next blog I will give you more info on those items.
Till then,,,,is Crazy Bob saying see you later from down under!!!
