It's officially crunch time in Hauntsville. While the main event won't take place until the night of the 31st day, we are doing an invitation only chicken run on the 30th. A chicken run is a lights and sound only rehersal event which will permit our friends with young children to go through the haunt without having to experience any of the traumatic "shocker" scares. They may discover that Day31 is plenty scary even minus its main dishes. The other purpose of a chicken run is to test the load all these energy sucking contraptions are going to put on the individual circuits to see if they can shoulder the load. Nothing worse than a blown circuit on Halloween night.
I allowed a few neighborhood kids to go through the haunt tonight. They had come by yesterday and said they were going to be out of town Halloween night. Despite it's 3/4 finished appearance, I allowed them to go through, and I accompanied them to make sure they wouldn't trip over any of the tools or building supplies I had scattered throughout the haunt. To my surprise, they were quite frightened by the haunt, and most of the impact scares were not even lighted or operational. This makes me a little concered about my haunt being a little too intense for the average joe. I'm brainstorming some last second ideas to tone things down for certain attendees.
