I will make you scarier!

Haunt Consulting
My first exposure to this business happened in 5th grade when I 'modified' a lame haunted house at my elementary school's Halloween Carnival to make it just a bit more scary for the students. The minor changes I made resulted in much greater traffic though the haunted house and also getting busted by a teacher for making the modifications. That experience taught me that it doesn't take a lot to make a good haunt better, just a willingness to take the risk and do it. In the 30+ years since then, I have worked with haunted trails, home haunters, amateur haunts, professional haunts, and even theme-park haunts. I will take the time and effort to do everything I can to help your haunted attraction reach its full potential.

SpookyVoices
SpookyVoices
I have been working in radio off and on for nearly 20 years and love being behind a microphone. In 2003, I cut my first VO for the theme-park haunted attraction I was working for. With access to two full-service studios, I will custom-tailor an effective haunt commercial for radio, TV, or online. Do you need other types of VO work, from rules of the haunt, to disclaimers, or even phone messages? Have your own ideas and scripts? Please contact me and we will make it work.

Actor Training
I began working as an actor in 2002 at a large theme-park haunted attraction. Within a couple of years, novice actors began seeking my advice about different techniques and ways to work their areas. In 2005, I started writing an outline that eventually became my training manual. "Boo Camp" was formally launched in 2008 to teach the art and science behind the scare. Having studied under some of the best teachers in the industry, and using their knowledge and my experiences, "Boo Camp" delivers a well-rounded and comprehensive overview of how and why things work, (and why they don't). The course is geared towards novice and intermediate actors, but even veterans will benefit. Safety is my number one priority and cannot be stressed enough.

Boo Camp
Drew Badger has been training actors since 2005, beginning at Scarowinds haunted theme park where he had worked as an actor from 2002-2009. In the summer of 2008, he attended the actor training seminar "Hauntertainer U." (Taught by famed actor trainer and haunt owner 'Crazy' Bob Turner) at the Midwest Haunters Convention in Ohio and became a certified 'Hauntertainer'. Since then, he has studied training methods from a wide variety of sources, including Sean & Adam Murray of Halloween Theatre, and Allen Hopps' Dynamic Haunted House Acting, among others. In 2008, Drew created "Boo Camp" which incorporates actor training methods pulled from various sources and combines them with his own experiences and presents them in a simple, yet effective way. Using a combination of lecture and practical examples to explain how and why things work (and why they don't), Boo Camp gives a well-rounded and comprehensive overview of the art and science of the scare. Boo Camp is primarily geared towards the novice actor, but even experienced haunters will benefit from this course. Safety is the most important topic taught during Boo Camp. Topics covered during the course include: The Aspects of F.E.A.R. The S.C.A.R.E. technique. 'Fear' vs 'Phobia'. "Timing is Everything". How to Deal with Unruly Patrons. Creating and marketing your character. And much, much more. RBHC tries to go through the haunt in advance to get a feel of your attraction and to customize it towards your particular haunt. No two courses are taught quite the same.
