Todays sneak peak at DarkSyde Haunted House and Halloween Attractions is our newly improved Ticket window area….  Thanks to Shane from www.Ravens-wolf.com for his help on this  project. Thanks go out to Atalie for her awesome Green Thumb!  The 2012 Halloween Haunted House season is going to be GREAT be sure to come out and see all  the new improvements at DFarkSyde Acres Haunted House.

Shane from www.ravens-wolf.com has been busy busting his hump on a few projects here at DarkSyde Acres Haunted House, Helping us get ready for the 2012 Haunted House and Halloween season. DarkSyde Acres is Not only one of the Largest, Scariest, Haunted Houses in Michigan and also the country but we are also expanding our Attractions to include Family Friendly events as well. Heres a couple sneakpeeks of the All New for 2012 ENTRANCE sign to the indoor waiting area for our 3 indoor haunted houses.  This thing is over 8 foot tall and impressive as heck… Great job Ravens wolf.

After a busy Morning busting butt all over that Haunted House, getting ready for the Midwest Haunters convention haunt tour on June 6th here in Michigan, we took a quick break and took the K-9s out for a swim in the river to beat the heat. This little river off Rowe road in Jonesville, Michigan has popped both Roxies and Maxs river open water cherry.  Roxie apparently remembered her first time at the spot and jumped right in, Max was a lil more apprehensive but quickly let loose and had a blast.  Sidenote, something about watching these two bounce thru the water just makes me happy! enjoy the pictures….

Im Dressing out the Hallways, Atalies making a plank for the Rusty Anchor, to compliment her wonderful Landscaping.  Big Rich is working on the Concessions, Shane from Ravenswolf is buttoning up his projects! Looks like its going to be a good day.  Looking like everything will be  up and ready for the June 6th Haunt tour!

Atalie and I went over to lend a hand yesterday at our friends place.  Big Rich and Heather over at Blue Moon Ranch decided to add Alpacas to their list of Awesome Critters, and it was time to get to Shearing them.  Alpaca fiber is used for many purposes, including making clothing such as hats, mitts, scarves, gloves, and jumpers. Many breeders are coming up with new ways to use the fiber from their alpacas, from crafting, to wall hangings, to clothing.  Personally I would love a Alpaca hat to keep me warm those cold october nights at the haunted house.

Blue Moon also had a new addition this past week…. ELVIS has entered the building. 🙂 Elvis is the newest Highlander Bull to join Blue Moon and he is Adorable! Once we got back to DarkSyde it was time  get busy back it the haunted House, Halloween season will be here  before you know it!

A few years ago, Our FX team was transporting a truckload of corpses in Michigan, when a woman called 911 on them.  She was on the phone with the Michigan State Police for over 15 minutes while tailing our team.  Our FX team was pulled over by 3 units and a CSI tech van….  Once the Troopers realized that we they were not deranged serial killers or grave robbers , they all had a good laugh and went on their merry way.  We later did a Photoshoot and recreated the incident in a video spoof. It just goes to show that BodyBag Entertainment and DarkSyde Acres have props so real that they’ll call 911 on ya!

At a Later date, years later a fellow ran into a chainsaw wielding maniac at DarkSyde Acres Haunted house on halloween, he then called 911 to report that a guy with a chainsaw would NOT stop chasing him, the dispatch officer asked calmly, Are you at DarkSyde Acres? Gotta love it when Truth is stranger than fiction! Here are  a few pics from the 911 photoshoot.
