A couple years ago, I was browsing the web in the fall looking for something fun for me and the kids to do, and I stumbled on *Nightmare at Beaver Lake* (put on by Rotary and Scare Productions). To my surprise, it was one the biggest haunts in the NW and was in the very city in which I lived! Then I saw the volunteer link. Now I’ve always loved haunted houses, and I thought this would be a great opportunity to see the *behind the scenes* stuff. So, I contacted them. Got plugged in and helped a bunch (did lighting and sound for two years and created the movies people would watch while they waited in line). One year I volunteered over 500 hours. Microsoft paid them $17/hour every hour I was there, so not did they get my talents, they got paid too (all $$ was donated).
I also became a member of Rotary (I think I was the youngest guy in the bunch – not shit!).
4 of us visited Rocky Point in SLC for a behind the scenes crash course in Haunted House production the last year they were open.

Here’s some footage I took in 2K7. More to come!
I'm hooked on etymology, folklore, writing, live music, and making movies. I jam the axe and I'm currently learning how to beat the skins. I write cool software and meaningful screenplays.
I like to drive fast with the top down in the rain with the music cranked.
My tastes in TV, music, film, and literature are broad but obscure. I keep a journal, write screenplays, compose music, take many pictures, and create software.
When camping at night, you can find me staring into the campfire either playing the guitar or telling a spooky story under the moonlight. I love thunder storms, Friday is my favorite day and my favorite number is 9.
