August Update

Just realised its been over a month since anything was wrote on this blog so I will fill you in on whats been going on over the last few weeks. 

Haunted Live & Xtreme is only 5 days away now and everything is in place for the show.  We have just received the sounds for it from Tollbooth Music and I am very pleased to say we are once again very impressed.  Tollbooth are the company we use for all the attractions musical scores that we do and they haven't disappointed us.  The best thing about using them is that the sounds they create are ours, unique to us and you wont hear them anywhere else.  Its a bit more of a cost but I think its worth it rather than sticking on a CD from Midnight Syndicate and having sounds that anyone else could use.

The lighting is also in place now and has once again been supplied by Karl Risdale from the Playhouse, another regular on our attractions.  The actors are ready but we had 2 people who could no longer make it which is a huge shame as it was Katie Hastings and Rob Cummings from the London Dungeon (they acted for us in Killers Live).  Work commitments meant they could not get the time off but we have replaced them with 2 other actors from Killers so we are back on track.

Pre-sale tickets have been good so far with Friday almost sold out but there are still quite a few left for Sunday and bank holiday Monday but we hope these will go soon once the actors hit York in full costume and makeup handing out flyer's to tourists.

On Thursday the 25th we are having a VIP launch night for the show with press, radio and industry officials coming down to experience the attraction before we open to the public.  We are then having an after show party at the Golden Fleece on York with food and champagne for the guests.  Fingers crossed the beer will be flowing and we can finally enjoy a pint or 6 and relax!!!

Not much to update on Bunker 13 yet.  The props are being made for us by various companies, the lighting system has been decided and the musical score is being wrote.  I will update on this further after Haunted has finished and give a full brief on where we are with the show

That's all for now, hopefully we will see you at Haunted Live & Xtreme next weekend
