Summertime Fun in June & July
Informal sessions in June & July gave us some hands-on learning while we prepared for the upcoming new attractions.
Making Props & Puppets
- Egyptian Theme Props for the Curse of the Mummy in 3-D Tour.
We learned foam prop construction including: sculpting, hard coating and faux paint finishes.
- Puppet Guides and Assorted Creatures.
Latex mask and prop making included: clay sculpting, mold making, casting and painting.

July found us enjoying Saturday work sessions where we painted, built, fireproofed, textured, assembled and added details to a variety of murals, flats, props, costumes and special effects. Every weekend our group of volunteer monters met at the haunt to learn a variety of techniques for haunting while sharing lots of stories and experiences from past years. It was as much social as educational, and very appreciated by our participants.
