We're Lame...
It's True. We're in the midst of setting up our 2019 Walk-Thru (which may be the last walk-thru we do for a while) when we realized we never got around to posting pictures and videos from the 2018 haunt!
So for a look at last year's walk-thru - with some photos and videos of each area - head over to http://www.creepynights.org/Gallery-2018/index.html
We are in the middle of setup for the 2019 Walk-thru - which includes a harrowing walk through the "Resurrection Cemetery" and a live(?) funeral you may not live to regret in the "Second Chance Funeral Home".
Remember, what does down, sometimes comes back up... ;-)

Have you seen what Ralis is up to?

DC Haunters Animated Tombstone Make 'n Take
May 15th saw another informal get together of the DC area Haunters hosted and organized by Keith Emery at his place in Kensington Md.
Keith made this short youtube video of the props for the build
A fun time was had by all. Lots of chatting about props and proposals for future builds.
I built myself the kit which turns a head side-to-side (picture right). It was a blast to build and came together easily thanks to the excellent prep work Keith had done getting the kits setup:
Anyone interested in joining the group - or just showing up for the next make 'n take look us up. We have a Google Group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/gdchh
Or contact myself and I'll get you introduced.

Our First Escape Room
This past Sunday (4/10) we tried out our first "escape room".
Neither of us even knew what an escape room was until we went to TransWorld ( http://www.haashow.com/ ) in St Louis a few weeks ago. Apparently escape rooms are the latest craze and are popping up all over the place. I went to a seminar on escape rooms run by the owner of an escape room in Philadelphia called "Escape the 1980s" which sounded like a lot of fun (and we hope to visit that one sometime).
Having never heard of any, when we did a quick search on Groupon we were surprised to find two in the DC area (one in Laurel Md and another in Adams Morgan in DC) and a third in Alexandria Virginia that's scheduled to open May 1st.
We decided to try out the closest room http://omescapedc.com/product/room-omega/
The theme was that a scientist doing time experiments had disappeared and you have to discover what happened to him. There were probably 10 "puzzles" you had to solve spread across 3 rooms that you progress through.
The game itself was fun, though there were a few hiccups. The rooms weren't very detailed and the entire facility was a little... dumpy. But we all did have a good time.
Our "Escape Room Crew"; 6 of us plus 2 escape room vets we met there - Chris and Alisha. We were shocked to discover that Chris and Alisha were also Transworld veterans and had been at the same show Catherine and I just got back from. (There will be a blog entry on that very soon).
We're all looking forward to trying the new escape room in Alexandria next month... And contemplating creating a mini escape room in our haunt for 2017...
