Haunted Hollow 2002 - Pictures

On 10/9/02, the crew of CREATURE FEATURE went to the Haunted Hollow, a local "haunted house" event, to shoot bumpers for the 10/12/02 show (which repeats Werewolf In A Girl's Dormitory) . I was fortunate enough to be there to shoot photos while the crew ran through the haunted house filming. A unique experinece to be sure.

The Front Gate: After travelling down a gravel road for what seemed a long time, we came up to the entrance and parked just behind from where this picture was taken. It almost looks like a fortress of some kind. "Haunted house" music and sfx could be heard coming from here.
Entrypoint: One of the way cool skulls posted on the fence into the entrance to Haunted Hollow. It's an okay picture at best.
Checking the script: SOS and Rich Wooster go over the rundown for the evening's taping. There were 7-8 places that were scheduled for taping, and a lot to still do. This was shot just outside of the first locale.
Filming Bumper 1: SOS yucks it up with the camera as he prepares to enter the Haunted Hollow's admission area. On the left you can barely see the back of the skull i took a photo of earlier.
Interviewing The Kids: Shooting the second bumper of the evenng, Doc talks to some of the kids who have just come out of the maze. Many of hte kids were surprised to find that it was REALLY Doc and not just someone dressed up like him.
High Tech Lighting Rig: Doc getting ready to go into the maze as they shoot the third bumper. He is holding a small flashlight as the enitre park was darker than heck.
Into The Maze: This is the first stop inside of the maze. The crew shuffle down a small path and get ready to shoot another bumper. This was a tight fit for the bumper and we kept getting into shot on accident. Poor Willard had to shift us back and forth. That, and the terrible smell of animal was permeating this area for some reason... ugh!
The Scarey... Donkeys: We diuscover what the heck the animal smell was... it was... the scarey DONKEYS! This was what was insoide of that large "house" stand up in the previous photo. Inside this area was "donketyboy" who tended to these animals. Donkeyboy has been an enigma to my wife and i for year. He is featured in the commercials for this place, but beyond the genetic implications, just how scary is a donkeyboy REALLY?
Talking To DonkeyBoy: Doc chats with both Donkeyboy and the actual patrons there for a scare. Unfortunately, while i took photos of Donkeyboy, they just didn't turn out.
Black Majic Woman: Doc gets a reading from a "crystal" ball (don't look too closely or you will notice it is a metallic bowling ball) while the crew shoots more footage for the bumpers. Actually, of all the places in the maze, i thought this area was the coolest in the maze.
Dock With Reporter: Doc poses with the gentleman from THE READER jsut prior to seting up for the next bumper. I do not recall the gentleman'sname.
Doc In Repose: Doc waits while Rich prepares the next bumper. The entire place was pretty dark, with little "strip" lighting.
Hey, it's Doc!: A family who watches the show stopped by for a chat with Doc. It was good to see so many kids recognize Doc.
Interview with Owner: Doc interviews the owner of Haunted Hollow.
Interview Continues : Doc continues to discuss the haunted attraction witht he owner of Haunted Hollow.
Haunted Barn : This is the front side of the "haunted barn". Lost of strobe lights and music was coming out of this area. On the left side of the barn, the staff had a huge projection system set up in order to allow patrons to watch movies. I really liked that.
Watching The Flick: SOS sits with a wolfman while watching a movie on the side of the haunted barn. This was being shot for a bumper.
Movie On The Barn: The staff of Haunted Hollow set up Werewolf In A Girl's Dormitory to be shown while the bumper was being filmed. I tell you i liked wathcing films on the barn.
Setting Up the Bumper: Camera guy focuses on the sign for the bumper.
Fuzzy Fredd & Doc: Before leaving i get my wife to shoot a photo of me and SOS together. Unfortunately, she is unfamiliar with the camera, and the darkness caused it to be fuzzy.
