| Welcome
to Dark Works 2002...
This years haunt was built under a new
12 x 40 canopy. We came up with a maze design that incorporates
two pneumatic doors which allowed us to run guest down and
back through the same way they just came. This almost doubled
our square footage. Two main lighting circuits where wired
into the haunt to allow a lighting design going down and one
coming back. When guests got to the back end of the maze the
lighting was changed. This gave the maze a different look
coming back and also helped hide props already seen going
down. The doors, which look like sections of wall, where triggered
to change hallways and allow the guests to double back without
knowing they just went through a door. A single actor was
placed inside who worked the entire maze and kept people moving
forward. The only downfall of this design was the fact that
only one group at a time could be inside the haunt. The line
at times was an hour long and wrapped around the post lamps
and out the main gate.
Many of the following
photos where shot at night and best viewed in a darkened room.
Turn off all room lights etc. and experience
the ever changing world of the Terror Syndicate!
I will keep this short because a picture
is worth a thousand words! And there are a lot of pictures!
Outside the enterance.

Two new 9 foot high lighted fog towers
where created for the sides of the new main gate. A timed
fog burst would dim and extinguish the light from the 100w
flood bulbs inside each base. This creates a fantastic look
from the top of the towers as if the "fires" inside
went out and began to smolder then restart again.

Views looking down the Q-line. New
skull post lamps for the line where built and re-designed
skull lights are mounted to the side of the haunt. The flag
holder was moved to the roof of the main gate.
