Aw, young love between creeps....
She's even cute when she's all uglied-up.

Aw, young love between creeps.... She's even cute when she's all uglied-up. A harlequin gets unpinned by the Costume Queen. There's nothing like the friendship between a nasgul and his ghoul friend.
Butchers, Creatures and Spooks, Oh My!
A zombie, perhaps?
Beware the Butcher-woman!
Grass creature, without her hood. Once these critters have their hoods on they virtually disappear into the ground. Unfortunately, on rainy nights, they also become big sponges.
This guy looks a little too thrilled with his role!More Creepy Cast Photos

Final Performances
Tonight marks the start of the five-night marathon finale at www.marisfarmshauntedwoods.com
Tonight, Thursday, we're open from 7-9 p.m. Friday & Saturday the gates are open from 7-11 p.m. and then Sunday and Monday we're open from 7-9 p.m. Whew!
I'm torn between pacing myself and my voice and giving all I've got every night. I would actually have to be conscious about pacing myself or holding myself back. My standard MO is to put it all out there. I get caught up in the present moment and throw myself into it.
The longest I've worked is three nights in a row. I know that keeping my energy up on the third night is challenging. Now I'll be going five and I want the people who attend on Monday to have just as good an experience as the people coming tonight. I cannot even imagine working at a full-time job and then coming and doing this demanding work.
I have a new sense of admiration and appreciation for the casts of long running Broadway theatre shows and other performers who bring loads of energy to the stage night after night.
My plan is to rest, rest, rest between shows. I don't want to miss a moment of the fun. I'm taking my good camera with me tonight, so watch for more pictures.

Scare Tactics
Much like stand up comedy, timing is crucial when scaring people. Actors often work together for maximum impact. Night by night we are perfecting our scare tactics.
Collateral Damage - This is when one person is startled and then throws themselves back against their friend(s), knocking them to the ground.
The Domino Effect - Many people come through as though they are in a conga line. This is the perfect opportunity to scare one person and knock down a whole bunch.
Trifecta - Scaring the same person three times. ("Pa" holds the record: He scared one person six times.)
The Sandwich - One actor jumps out and the people scream and turn to run only to be confronted by another actor leaping out at them.
Distract and Pounce - One actor stands in plain sight or provides distraction for second actor to perform a sneak attack.
