Ghoulmaster's Ghosts 2012

Last night, Friday, September 21^st, was the preview night of Fright Fest for Six Flags season pass holders. The Ghoulmaster’s Ghosts cast leads the procession and the Ghoulmaster awakens Dr. Fright to kick off Fright Fest every night. The procession is backwards this year because the stage has been moved from in front of the Big Wheel to Movie town.

After the Awakening at 6:30pm, the cast had to prepare for their show at 8pm. The cast did not get back until 7:15pm, and we could not do a run through before doors were to open at 7:30pm. This means that the first show we performed for a crowd was the first show we every done with full costumes and makeup. Surprisingly, we pulled it off with only minor adjustments to be made. That is a great way to start the show when we consider that last year took 2 weeks to pull off a show with no mistakes.

I believe that we are better prepared this year because we had a week of rehearsal compared to two days last year. The tech crew has been putting in 15 plus hour days all week preparing for this show. I had to do a personal first, and go under the stage to run wires. Most people do not know that there is insulation under the stage. I crawled in there with a full jumpsuit on including safety goggles and a mask. That was an experience. There is just enough room to craw between the structures holding the stage up. It is pitch black and sound proof. I felt like I was in another world.

Now that the first show is out of the way we go full time as of today, Saturday, September 22^nd. There are four shows on Saturdays: 5pm, 6:45pm, 8:15pm, and 9,45. If you are going to come, and see the show I would recommend coming in October. Everything is better in October. The park is open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday until October 28^th. Including Columbus Day.
