What this video covers
Hauntcast's 'Something Wicked' segment features host Wick-Ed Gannon walking through how physical scale models can be used as a planning tool in the haunt design process. The technique helps haunters visualize layouts, traffic flow, and scene placement before committing to a full build. At roughly 16 minutes, it functions as a focused, practical design talk rather than a hands-on build tutorial.
Key takeaways
- ◆Scale models serve as a low-cost pre-visualization tool before building a haunt
- ◆Physical mockups help identify layout and flow issues early in the design process
- ◆Applicable to home haunts, yard haunts, and larger haunted attractions
- ◆Covered by an experienced haunter sharing real-world design workflow
Who this is for
Haunt builders at any level who want to improve their pre-season planning and spatial design process before construction begins.
