Greetings haunters. Today I'm announcing that the story of Faegoria has come to a close. Good bye crypts, tombs, ancient graveyards, corn stalks, ghouls, hags, corpses, scarecrows and denizens of Faegoria. So long campy blue, red, purple, and orange lighting. It is time to move on...
Am I closing the haunt? No way! It's just getting a reboot. I've grown tired of the traditional setups. The pumpkins, the scarecrows, the cornstalks, the corpse and zombie infested graveyards, the creepshow style lighting. There's nothing wrong with these things. I've just grown tired of the general trending that Halloween decor has gone. I been feeling like i've been stagnating as a haunter and an artist. I want to do something different and find my own voice. So I'm rebooting.
In terms of atmosphere think Hallowed Haunting Grounds. Or my new personal favorite The House of Restless Spirits. The direction I'm going for is that quiet spooky almost melancholy atmosphere. I'm still thinking a small graveyard to the side of the house - but simple. If there's any sort of presence in the graveyard it will be ethereal. Soft natural warm fire lighting (or a close facimile using LED lighting) as opposed to comic book blues, greens, reds and oranges. Quiet atmospheric ambient soundtracks. The plan is to stay focused on this and back away from changing themes yearly.
If anyone out there knows of or themselves run this sort of haunt already please feel free to share links and pictures in this thread. I would love for additional inspiration outside of the two haunts mentioned above.
For reference, although most will already be familiar with this haunt, here's some selected pictures from Hallowed Haunting Grounds (http://www.hauntinggrounds.org):
And also from The House of Restless spirits (http://www.houseofrestlessspirits.com):
Looking forward to hearing any and all input, feedback, and suggestions.
Thanks,
-TM
