Allen Hopps Seminars
Haunt industry legend Allen Hopps (Dark Hour Haunted House, Stiltbeast Studios, Haunt Dawgs) will be conducting 2 seminars at the Legendary Haunt Tour 2015 in Chicago:
Show-Building Character Class
What types of characters does your attraction need in order to tell your story successfully? How many acting styles are there that are useful to haunts? This hour long seminar will answer those questions. This seminar can really help you round out a cast of characters to make a show feel really complete. Groups of characters shake out in a certain way, there is always a leader- That role like the other 10 roles help move a story along. Use this class to tweak your show of characters into an instantly perceptible group. We will review the 11 group roles, and four different acting styles, and three character types.
Anti-Feng Shui
The Chinese have been developing the art of feng shui for thousands of years to make people feel more welcome, calm, and tranquil. I take the rules and laws they have painstakingly gathered and simply do them backwards to make guests feel as uncomfortable and tense as possible. This is a fun seminar with many specific example of how to use this technique in your attractions and sets.
These seminars are included in the weekend ticket price.
Lights On Tour of Statesville Haunted Prison
Scared, Inc. and Zombie Army Productions will be throwing open the prison doors and pulling back the curtains for a lights-on tour of Statesville Haunted Prison and City of the Dead Saturday night during the after-party.
Grab a FREE cocktail, take your time and wander the decrepit halls of these two attractions and enjoy the set finesse & scenic details at your own pace! There won’t be any organized groups or lines – just go in, wander around and enjoy the sights!
