Wow...a fantastic year! It helped that Halloween was on a Saturday night.
new props
Half coffin, haunt entrance walls, new Scarefest sign, crypt drawers, flicker candles, spitter prop, witch bottles, ground fogger
new masks
things that worked
The drop hammers on the ceiling, the long hallway scare, the drop window scare, and of course, the spitter prop
disasters
The spitter prop kept running out of air and had to be refilled. Ugh.
lessons learned
Automating props is good. Need more of that...
