Designing costumes for haunted attractions

Allen Hopps of StiltbeastStudios delivers a lecture-style interview exploring the unique challenges of designing costumes specifically for haunted attractions. Unlike general costume building, haunt costuming must account for performer mobility, durability under heavy use, and how a design reads in low-light environments. The session is driven by audience questions, making it a practical, experience-backed conversation rather than a step-by-step tutorial. Viewers come away with industry-level insight into how costume design intersects with overall attraction theming and character performance.
