Thread: pump up music for haunters

Tweet

now bare with me on this because i have been thinking on this all day. now they have alot of sports pump up songs to get the athlets such as foot ball players and ect all pumped up do they can play good and give thei fans one hell of a good game right?

now i do the same thing when i am in the locker room of our haunt getting ready. i usually listen to alot of hevy metal and death metal like cradel of filth-mudvayne-rob zombie and ect. so i can put on a good show and get my self into character.

so than i got to thinking today why dont they design specific music for haunters in the haunt biz like us. i mean think about it.

if they would just make a cd of nothing but pump up musi for haunters. like instead of we will rock you hange all the lyirics like we will we will haunt you and what not. i mean i know this may sound stupid but it was just a thought that i had.

so if any of you have opinions on this subjet i mean please feel free to give mew your input beause i thought it would be a realy cool if they had something like that for us so again please give me your opinion on this subject.

My music is mostly angry and hateful.I get shunned for it.

When it comes to this sort of stuff I usually just listen to something fast like punk rock... Social Distortion, The Misfits, The Ramones... In general any Halloween songs will pump me up as well.

Oh and I like to listen/watch the Thriller video by Michael Jackson.

Some hardstyle or dance music, it makes me more theatrical for some odd reason. Alot of people just have different things that get them in to character, even though most haunters probably listen to heavier rock.

all very good replies and i want to touch base on some of those. first and formost with the hatred filled music.

like i stated i listen to death metal and heavy metal and classic rock so i know what it is like to get the cold shoulder for that style of music. but when you think halloween and haunted houses/attractions you think morbid-evil-macabre and so the styles of music i listen to and you listen to reflect that and is a good way to get into character.

secondly hadstyle or dance music is good too. because if you think about it alot of movies and musicals use that sort of music to que the moment befor something big or dramatic happens or is happening so that is a good way as well to get into character.

so do not think of it as an odd reason but think of it as a good and helfull thing.

and lastly alot of punk rock is good becuase punk spawned the birth of the horror punk genre so that is a very good way to get pumped and into character. and the thriller video/song is a classic and a good way to get into character even though i am not into that sort of music but that one video and song is sure to get anyone pumped up.

i am also a big fan of beat it lol. so all in all guys very good opinons and responses to this subject and all very good methods of getting pumped for the big shows if you are a haunter.

thanks for all the replys i hope to get more so i can see how all of my fellow haunters prepare for their big show.

thank you

You can just listen to the whole cd of Type O Negative's October Rust. I have speakers in my yard which i play all types of music. I do play some Gregorian Chants. They are pretty spooky themselves.

very cool dude. yeah type o negitive is a bad ass band hallows eve-blood and fire and halloween in heaven are some of my all time fave by them.

also i love the mask you are useing in your avatar i actually used that prosthetic my second year at out haunted amusement park here in pittsburgh. it gave me some trouble with keeping the horns up right and the chin kept on wanting to fall off and needless to say i never did use it again lol.

but usuay what i listen to to get me into character and pumped befor show time is a list of the following: mudvayne-the misfits-motograter-hate breed-ramstien-ozzy-rob zombie-wendsday 13-cradel of filth-dimuborgir-lordi-gwar and many others.

I like those bands as well.

Yeah i got that mask on clearance and thought i would give a try. It did well i just filled the horns and chin with cotton balls. On thing i didn't like about it i sweated all night outside and it ran down my neck and washed my paint away. Other than that it did good staying glued on and all.

yeah the makeup team used spirit gum on me and it did not work all that well but when i first got into the haunt biz as an actor spirit gum was the big deal than eventually liquid laytex became the big hit and it worked so much better than spirit gum.

i had the same problem as you with sweating and what not and the sweat is what lossened the spirit gum on me and it was just a pain.

The spirit gum is what my wife used to put it on with. It loosened a little but it held pretty well. I just wore that to hand out candy. I took a stool out side and sat there.
