Screams, shivers, and bumpy rides

The Tartan Online: "Pittsburgh’s ghouls, ghosts, and witches have risen once again this October to haunt the living. Haunted houses that lay quiet before are now alive with the noise of clanging metal chains and devilish screams. The countryside, too, is teeming with the supernatural, and not everything is as it seems."

First off, I think everyone should go to Scarehouse to support our very own Jason Read who did the lighting. A haunted house is a great example of just how imperative each element of design is to evoking an audience's emotions. The setting can make or break the experience and I think it's a challenge for a designer to really get up close and personal with an audience's interaction. When you are not just witnessing or living the environment but actually experiencing it more careful attention has to be made and it's a challenge, but a fun one.

Wow, that's pretty nifty. I didn't really think about all of the haunted houses that are probably here in Pittsburgh. I might consider the chance of going to one if I make time for it. It seems like it'd be a pretty neat experience.
