If you are planning to be anywhere near Bozeman Montana come Halloween this Kickstarter project might be for you...
About the haunt:
Throughout our years, nay decades of our experience, we have learned that to really get the customers immersed in the haunt you need to tie in the local legend and lore into the haunt. We learned this from the "Jersey Devil Haunted Woods" in New Jersey and the Pirates of Emerson on the coast of California. There is a rich mining history in many parts of Montana, and many of these old mines have an accompanying ghost town. What better theme for a haunt in Montana than a haunted mine and ghost town?
About our goal:
We have $10,000 of our own personal funds set aside for this project. However, we will need double that in order to make it a reality. Not if, but when we raise the additional $10,000 through the awesome backers at kickstarter, we will have the $20,000 needed to make our dream a reality. This money will be used for building rental (BIG expense), insurance (necessary evil), construction tools (yay), construction materials (plywood is expensive), costuming (thank goodness for thrift stores), makeup (not the girly type), and many others (too many to list).

ABOUT THIS PROJECT
If you thought Halloween and pumpkin carving was fun before...wait until you discover the magic that lies just beneath the rind. Get ready to unlock the 3D potential!
I plan on creating a set of DVD's that will benefit ANYBODY looking to become a better pumpkin carver! As a former kindergarten-12 Art teacher, I intend on including a couple of tutorials geared towards those individuals whom find even cutting triangles into a pumpkin challenging. Armed with some simple kid friendly tools (which can be easily purchased at stores for for just a couple of dollars) we will start off with some simple bare bone designs that begin to touch on the joys of going 3D!...
ABOUT THIS PROJECT
I want to build a simulator ride of a time machine for my home Halloween haunt. The ride will hold two riders inside the unit. They will be strapped into the time machine and the door will be shut. Three LCD screens will act as "windows" out of the time machine. The outside of the time machine will look like a dilapidated outhouse, but upon opening the door of the ride the machine will look the part of a true time machine with metal walls, lots of dials and blinking buttons displaying "data". The time machine "pilot" will be Morris the Hunchback as he stands outside the main compartment and is viewable to the riders on the LCD's. He'll be the one getting into all the hi-jinx with the various creatures and people found in the different time periods the machine travels to.
