Today Julia from Gantom lighting will give you some suggestions on DMX alternatives and simple uses for DMX. DMX is a is a protocol used to control lights in your haunt. DMX can be used for many more things such as fog machines and triggers, but we're only focused on the lighting today. You need something that generates a signal, and then that signal travels to the light to tell it what to do. The signal can be pre-programmed or controlled live. So, DMX can be simple and run a few fixtures, or complicated to run a large show; it scales to the need. And that need is why we recommend you decide whether to get into DMX. Do you need them to perform a timed show or just a single effect over and over (like a heartbeat)? Would the guest notice lighting that's in time with other effect? So you see how DMX is highly dependent on your haunt's experience. If you want to setup a time to discuss your needs with Gantom's Designers, they're offering a free 30-minute demo at www.gantom.com/demo

With 19 seasons under their belt, Fright Nights at the South Florida Fairgrounds in West Palm Beach Florida is preparing for their 20th year this coming Halloween season. Today, we'll hear about their 2021 season and what they have planned for their 20th year. I recorded this interview on the closing night of the 2021 season and we've been holding onto it for a little bit. With Transworld looming next month, I figured it's the perfect time to release it.

How do you manage your haunt's team? Recently we've discussed team empowerment and incentive programs for your haunt, but nothing about management software. So today, Sarah and Matthew, co-owners of Haunt Scheduler, will walk us through specific examples of using software for your haunt's personnel management. While there's other scheduling software out there, this is the only product designed by and for haunters.Matt began developing Haunt Scheduler in 2009 while working at a haunt, and it premiered in 2014 at Transworld. It started off as a simple text messaging system, but has grown to touch every aspect of personnel.

If your customers have the same masks as your actors, does that change anything? CFX masks (https://www.compositeeffects.com/) started 17 years ago in haunted houses but have since expanded into other markets. And with that perspective, they're noticing a few things. More people are aware of silicon masks now because of social media and, due to the expansion in eCommerce, they have access to the same materials as haunts. In fact, CFX is extending their annual Transworld sale this year online to give everyone access. Overall, that's lowering the barriers for people to create characters. And they certainly are. But what does that mean for haunts? We'll find out. This interview features Tabitha and Josh from CFX masks.
