In order to keep my haunt production streak intact, I helped my friend Kyle Thompson from Splatterfx.net on his glorious Monsterland haunt in Queen Creek, AZ. If you haven’t yet, go there. www.monsterlandaz.com. Amazing props, great acting, and it’s damned inexpensive (I’d heard $11 or something–compare that to the other “big-budget” haunts in AZ). Keep in mind, the pics of Monsterland were taken during the day. I hope you can imagine what this place looks like at night. Amazing.
Secondly, I’m once again directing a tour of Belleville, Illinois’s most haunted places. Thanks to Zia Nizami, Beck, Dave and Sandy at Lincoln Theater, Maureen Morris, Rick Ortiz and Allison. Pics are below.
I’ll try to check out Larry Kirchner’s KreepyWorld while I’m here in the St Louis area.

An argument with the Lincoln Theater Owner. Dispute just about over.
