October means the beginning of Fright Fest at Six Flags Great Adventure located in Jackson, New Jersey. Fright Fest is a special time of year when Great Adventure is turned into a haunted theme park. The undead roam around the park looking to scare everybody. There are terror trials and horrifying shows. I am currently working on the Ghoulmaster’s Ghost show as the stage manager.
Ghoulmaster’s Ghost is haunting stage production filled with great dancing and special effects. The Ghoulmaster is the one and only Pete Carter. Pete is a talented Alumni of Full Sail University’s TV and Film Production program. Today he left this Facebook message:
“My new show "Ghoulmaster's Ghosts" opens TONIGHT at Six Flags Fright Fest. The past two months I have been preparing: filming, costumes, props, set pieces, writing script, writing lyrics, photography, special effects, graphic design, video editing, audio mixing, rehearsals, no sleep, and tonight it all comes together. Featuring a very talented cast of Ghosts, A new original song written by me and Santino Noir, choreography by the incredible Stepp Stewart, Rayvon Reed, and Lauren Avon, set pieces by Charles Convery. Playing every Friday, Saturday and Sunday through October at Six Flags Great Adventure's Fright Fest.”
It is an honor to work with Pete, and I am proud to be his stage manager.
As the stage manager it is my job to make sure that everything is set in place for the show. That includes all of the props, set pieces, costumes, working fog machine and curtains. I also make sure my stagehands know when to: place and remove the set pieces, operate the curtain, fog machine, and help with costume changes. I also need to know how to operate the lighting and sound boards if for any reason my technician is not able to do it.
This month is going to be a blast. If you are in the New Jersey area come out to Six Flags Great Adventure and join in the Horror Revolution.
