Smell? Homemade cadaverine. Look it up. Recipe (they use to use this to train cadaver dogs, the dogs used to find bodies after disasters) Throw a hand full of blueberries and a piece of any kind of raw meat in a zip lock bag. Add a little water, zip it closed and store it in a warm place for a weak or two. It's going to produce gas, so your going to want to open the bag then reseal it to prevent it from exploding. To use, place open bag in an out of the way place, possibly in front of a fan.
@peanutgnome thank you- it was so awesome to have the opposite of what I needed to do laid out for me. I actually tried to take a feng shui class but they wouldnt accept me lol. so feng schui for dummies was my guide!
@markjroberts43 This comment had me rotfl! Energy is a hard one for many haunts- it is not an easy job- When I train my SCREAMS actors about 1/3 of the talk time is devoted to energy, how to get it, keep it, and release it in doses.
I've watched these since they have been posted and taken some notes as well. very helpful! in response to your response on peanutgnome's comment; I applied at an art and design school with haunt space in mind and I actually applied for interior design. like you said, they didn't let me. They thought I was joking. lol. Love your tangents.
@markjroberts43 I have been F'ing with people at Halloween for a long time, wouldnt spend my fall any other way. All haunt actors can use an energy pep talk, energy is a hard thing to master.
Allen, please go to every Six Flags theme park and explain "energy" to ALL the actors. (sigh). You are the How To F*ck With People at Halloween master!
Very educational man!!!! I love it!!!! Your a very smart person on the subject.... just that little bit of information was and is very helpful for us people that want to make this our dream!!!
this kind of reminds me of the work by an animal behaviorist by the name of temple grandin, who is an autistic woman who changed industrial livestock management, and alot of her work was to understand how animals react to different spaces and situations, and it seems like it could apply in these sorts of situations
i want to read that book, i couldnt make out the title, it looked like an idots guide, was it? as always excellent stuff. i would have never dreamed of something like this.
@Honestinwilkesbarre Oh, and one more thing I forgot. The talent, they should put a dab of Vic Pap-O-Rub under or in each nostril a-la Silence of The Lambs. I certainly wouldn't want to smell that stuff for 2 or 3 hours.
@meanoldrunk idiots guide to feng shui - the title and proper spelling. it is very interesting and very deep- there is a whole section that I just skipped because it is the numerical part of feng.
Smell?
