Frightfest BC Halloween in August 2012

Each August the FFBC group gets together for the annual Halloween in August event where we build a haunted house for a campground. We build the entire haunt for a one night production, learning from each other and discussing ideas and techniques along the way. Because the haunt is only open one night, I always find it a challenge to get in and get enough pictures! This year my camera decided it didn’t want to cooperate right when I needed it most so I borrowed a friends camera, which decided it was tired and needed a recharge. Luckily we got enough pictures between the two cameras. The only thing I missed out on was the graveyard scene outside, so I am hoping some good night shots surface of that from fellow FFBC members.

The building we used to create the haunt:

My contribution this year was the mining tunnel. It was really fun to put together! I am grateful for the assistance I had from some fellow FFBC-er’s in putting the columns up.

Below are a few of the pictures of the end product.
Check out the full set on my Flickr page where it might be easier to view them.

FFBC 2010

This past weekend I went to the Halloween in August event at the Fort Langley campground for FrightfestBC’s gathering and annual haunt.

Friday we set up walls and began decorating and by Saturday afternoon we had accomplished a full haunt.

Its a one night haunt and a lot of work, but it’s a great way for us to see different haunters ideas and learn new techniques. We are all busy in October doing our own haunts, parties and yards for Halloween so the FFBC Halloween in August haunt is a great opportunity for each of us to see each others creations and ideas put to use in a haunt.

Below are a few pictures from our group effort. If you would like to see more of them, they are over at Flickr.

FrightFest BC’s Halloween in August

Ben and Sean's scene

For the past few years Frightfest BC has been taking part in a Halloween theme weekend at the Fort Langley Campground.

Our weekend consists of a few quick make and takes, and creating a haunted house for the public, a zombie walk through town followed by a stop at the Fort Pub for refreshments.

Members arrive from all over BC and Alberta and even Washington, their vehicles stuffed full of props. Everyone helps out and by Saturday afternoon we have a haunt full of actors, sound, and lighting.

Exhausting but so fun!!
Here are a few pictures from this years haunt.
