1984

In 1984, we created our first haunt at 121 Okinawa Drive in Neshannock Township of New Castle, PA USA.

It featured four simple effects: (1) Zombie on a glider with a real person underneath the glider using their arms
and hands as the zombie's  (2) A cardboard box that opened and a ghost that floated out 

(3) A dropping bat or spider  (4) Zombie on a couch who's arm moved up and down

We used 1 strobe light, a phonograph with a halloween sound effect LP record

and fishing line attached to the ceiling with paper clips to move the props from inside a screen door.
