Behind the Plywood Tombstones
Last night was my first “rehearsal” for the haunted houses this year. Technically it wasn’t a real rehearsal – costume fitting, learning our makeup, and getting the venue tour/becoming acquainted with our positions was the order of the night.
I love working these things. This will be my eighth year at the park, so in a way, it’s like visiting family. Our crew from After Hours was scattered all over the park in new houses and old, but I still got to see and spend time with a lot of friends last night.
I’ve retired my club kid glowboy character, Adam, from After Hours. He probably escaped when Club Muse was raided by the police, and apparently I didn’t. My new part is an inmate on death row. I stand on the gallows, waiting to stretch. What is wrong with you? How can you just walk by and let me die? And they gave me a microphone. This should be fun.
So no more Club Muse? Was that one of the longest running themes at Howl?
So your new role sounds more ‘environmental’ than scare-oriented. How is that working out?
Why is there less of a need for subs?
After Hours lasted for four years. I think Escape From Insanity might have lasted five years.
The role was fun, and I got some good scares out of it, but I don’t know if I want to do it again…. And I think the sub thing was so they could make sure all the subs got to work every night.
