Installing an air conditioner was put at the top of the expenses list for next Halloween, which I’m sure any returning volunteers will be grateful for
Last Halloween I found out there was a haunted apartment being set up in an outdated wareapartment near where I lived, & they were looking for volunteers; I’ve constantly enjoyed alarming movies & horror-related things, although I’m not actually scared, so I thought it would be a fun experience, then and it was! I walked to the wareapartment & signed up, & was assigned to a portion of the house… Wooden pallets, tarps, & all sorts of items were used to create winding hallways throughout the building with small rooms spotted along the path for greater scare groups to be. I was put into the clown-themed room, & while I personally find the fear of clowns to be insane, it was a truly effective area! I had a lot of fun there, hiding inside a crate with demented toys perched on top & reaching out at people as they walked by. Although, from this position & the makeup, it was incredibly sizzling inside the warehouse; There were fans set up in particular areas to help circulate the air however it didn’t have a functioning Heating & Air Conditioning system. There was an Fall chill outdoors however my pal and I truly could have used an air conditioner in the building. Without cooling some of us scare actors would end up with running makeup by the end of the evening due to dripping with sweat, & we’d have to peel out of our sticky costumes. Installing an air conditioner was put at the top of the expenses list for next Halloween, which I’m sure any returning volunteers will be grateful for. A nice, spooky chill to the air from the air conditioner may also help to create a more fantastic atmosphere for the people walking through the house. I can’t wait until next Halloween to labor there again.
