Thread: Questions for Steve Hickman - Terror Syndicate

Tweet

Steve is going to be my guest for the October Hauntcast. We are recording it Thursday night because we both will be to busy in October.
What Q's would you like answered?

Ooh, good catch there Chris! The originator of Monster Mud...

Here's my question: What do you use to control and trigger your props?

Yes, the grotesque spider-web corruption gook.

The stuff is used on all sorts of props and is the kernel of the Terror Syndicate "look".

I recall reading that the material is made using stretchy spiderweb and latex - can we get some details on the process, such as...

How you make it.
How it can be displayed.
If it is removable.
If it damages surfaces.
If it can be made beforehand and draped on an object at a later time.
If it is painted or done multiple ways.

Spiderwebs, cheesecloth and Beef netting are standards now, I think it is high time the Syndicate stuff had some time in the spotlight.

Hauncast I have a few ?

When is the next DVD / Book going to come out ? If he plans to continue that

If you have bought his books he gives a decent insight to how his haunt is setup and ran. I think based on the age of the books it has changed quite a bit. Based on that how large is the haunt now and how is it setup

Any idea how many people come through his haunt each year and how many days does he open it ?

Any Back stage tours ?

What are his future plans ? for his Haunt and for his product line

What does he see as the most significant change in the industry from a home haunter perspective over the past 10 years

What is his opinion of the forums for people to exchange ideas

Does he see the same problems on the forums as in the past years


Thanks
