Chicken Run Night


We had about 50-75 visitors for our Chicken Run tonight. I was concerned there would not be enough going on in the haunt to keep anyone interested, but in spite of the PG rating, we still had a few criers this year. Next year I will likely chicken up the Chicken Run even more, turning down most of the sound, turning up the lighting and doing away with the corpsed skeletons. Still a vast majority of our feedback was very positive, and most of our visitors went through multiple times. We hid candy throughout the haunt for the kids to find, and there were no major technical issues. We did experience a few minor ones: sound related.
Tomorrow I need to get up early as Day31 will be lending several props to Ysabel Barnett Elementary for their annual Harvest Festival haunted house. I have very fond and inspiring memories of the haunted houses my schools would do when I was a kid, and I have often wondered over the years why schools seemed to stop doing them. It's good to see them getting into the "spirit".
My day will be spent transitioning Day31 from a Chicken Run to the full blown frightmare it will be Halloween night. Watch out this year....you will be scared!
Friday night I will be visiting two or three other local area haunted attractions. Scroll down on this blog for info on those haunts if you care to join me.
