The 2011 Halloween season kept me quite busy. I joined a professional haunted house in Dublin, OH called The Scare-A-Torium. I made tons of great new friends, and had a fantastic time scaring the customers every weekend for the entire month of October. I wore “The Experiment” as my costume and continued to make changes and improvements over the course of the month. The biggest change was adding a computer fan inside the “claw” and another inside the “box” on my head to keep me cool. I also did my make-up a little different every night just so I wouldn’t get bored. I am proud to have won two “Diaper Awards” which are given out at the end of the season to best actors in the haunt.

Then at the end of October, I took the last two weekends to turn my garage into a home haunt for Trick-or-Treat on the 31st. I wore my “Body Bag” costume which my neighborhood hadn’t seen yet, even though I made it back in 2008. The haunt in my garage included my laser-fog-tunnel, a bridge over a bottomless pit, a drop panel with a scary clown, and a black light room full of PVC pipe people. I was lucky to have two new friends, Shirley and Jim, help act in my haunt. I couldn’t have done it without them. And many thanks to Corey for taking photos again this year. I think the kids and adults in my neighborhood really had fun. I had fun seeing all of their great costumes and seeing the reactions on their faces when they came out of the haunt.
