Last week, as my son and I were driving to an Expo run by the Duchess Chamber. During the drive we were discussing about tours that people would love to see, one so special that every time they would go through the tour they would notice something different, something unique, something special. A tour that they would want to show all their friends, over and over. With Halloween only a week away, an idea was born.
Finding the perfect haunted house was not hard. We knew it had to be somewhere special, a location where they do it as a business, not just a last minute fling. That left us with one choice, Tagsylvania. Tagsylvania is located in Big Flats, New York. They are a concert stadium, bar, and haunted house facility. Their haunted facility is a work of art they work on all year, with a new attraction each year. Currently they have three haunted attractions, including a trip through a "Psycho Swamp", "Jerkus Circus", and a haunted house called "Lecter's Lair".
The owner's were more than happy to open up their doors early to allow us access and do a tour of the facility. The tour consists of 17 viewpoints of less than half of Lecter's Lair. With over 90 actors, the experience doing the tour, and later the attractions, left me scared, shocked, and amazed.
The tour alone was the most fun I've ever had. The actors were so enthusiastic with the chance to be in a Google Tour, they did whatever I suggested for the positions. The challenges of shooting in the dark with slow shudder speed made the learning experience and the shoot unique and educational. Then, getting the opportunity to try all the attractions made me realize it will be a place I will be returning year after year. It is truly one of a kind facility, and their hopes for the future is to spread across the state.
