And The Winner Is...


In last week's post, we talked about monologues for everyone's upcoming haunt auditions and the first ever Writing Competition took place on the Southern Spooks Facebook page where I asked everyone to take their favorite monologue and revise it to show their personal creativity. Many of you sent in your submissions and there were plenty of awesome pieces of work. Sadly, not everyone can win. Out of all the entries, one stood out among the rest. This monologue showed the prime example of taking a script and making it your own. Not only did this individual rewerite almost the entire script, but he also kept the underlying tone and flow of the original scene. When some take on the task of  reworking a script, they tend to insert lines or details that either make no sense to the original script's contex or hold no importance to the overall goal of the piece. The winner of last week's contest knew his source material enough to vastly change it, but keep the essence of what made the scene what it was originally, and for this we applaude him. So, we at Southern Spooks are proud to announce the winner of last week's writing competition: Vincent Lambertini, from RISE Haunted House in Tickfaw, LA. 

Make sure to check out his winning entry bellow and show your love and support to your fellow haunter and Spook Squad member!
Again, congratulations, Vincent, and thank you to everyone who participated! Make sure to keep an eye on all of Southern Spook's social media for any upcoming competitions and activities. 

Stay spooky and happy hauntings!
From your Wicked Witch of the South

What is Haunt Season?

Something I picked up quickly when I first started getting into haunt was the times of year that things were happening. When haunted attractions are live and open, it's referred to as "Haunt Season" (which, in the south and to my great displeasure, is always misheard as "hunting season"). Haunt season begins at different times for different people. For the actors, behind the scenes crew and volunteers, haunt season usually begins in the first week of September through the first week of November, but for the owners and creative team, haunt season starts up in February or March and lasts until the first week of December. (This doesn't include conventions and special events which are scattered throughout the year specifically for haunters.) For the cast, crew, and volunteers, auditions will usually roll around in the first week of September, giving the haunt enough time to hire them, train their cast, and have early opening dates for that year's haunt.

A Little Update

I've written this post almost a dozen times, but I'm not even sure where to begin. Do I write from the heart? Do I write about the state of the world? Do I pretend nothing has changed? What do I do? It feels like that's the overall thought. "What do I do?" With haunt season approaching, a lot is still up in the air and things appear uncertain. One thing that I do know for certain is that us haunters will find a way to do what we love. I've been seeing people showing off their makeup and set building skills online. Classes that would normally be exclusive to haunt conventions have been streaming for free on Facebook.(Which is an amazing opportunity for those who are wanting to make it in the industry. So, thank you to any companies that have been giving classes and plan on giving classes online!)  Even little things, like making spooky themed face masks and decorating your yard with skulls and tombstones have proven that the haunt community will survive the...
