Hey everyone.

I thought the review was fair as they described what actually went on in the haunt. This haunt was designed to push the bounderies and try to steer away from the family orientated market that most haunts now aim for.
There was never any danger to any of the actors or audience as it was an invited audience and I was at the door collecting tickets. As a haunt designer this was a one of experience and thats why I told the actors to really go for it - my other haunts have a no-touching rule and have simular rules to other haunts.
I agree with ' sexual harassment has no place in a haunt'. However in London many theatre companies now have productions where the actors can really get involved with the audience memebers - recently in a production of 'Masque of the Red Death' by theatre company Punchdrunk a girl friend of mine was locked in a room and kissed by an actor. Is this classed as sexual harrasment? Or because its a theatre performance is it excepted? Whats the difference between a theatre production and a haunt?

I think the thing everyone has to except is that everyone is different and gets scared and upset by different things.
In Asylum Hill some people didnt like getting touched but some people LOVED it and went through time and time again because they had such a great experience.
In haunts now you can have disembowled pigs / cows / dogs /cats etc and you can buy them from haunt suppliers, is this against animal rights? Wheres the line with this.

I think we all need to remember that when you go to haunt, like going to the theatre or cinema, everyone knows its not real.

And as a final thought lol . . . . the line wouldnt be there if it wasnt meant to be crossed.

Nightbox.
