secret set design tool

Allen Hopps of Stiltbeast Studios reveals an unconventional set design workflow he has relied on for over four years: using the video game Conan Exiles as a 3D pre-visualization tool for haunted attraction layouts. By building virtual versions of his sets inside the game, he can walk through and evaluate a space before committing to physical construction. The approach is praised for being intuitive, affordable, and surprisingly effective for professional haunt design. At roughly $40 on Steam, it offers a low-cost alternative to dedicated architectural software.

Making a Bust That Follows You - Halloween Prop Tutorial

VanOaksProps walks through the first part of a two-part series on building a cemetery bust monument that uses an optical illusion to appear to follow viewers as they move.

Sponsored by ChickenProps, the tutorial bridges the gap between a basic graveyard prop and a showstopping interactive centerpiece. The finished piece is designed to evoke the iconic "following bust" effect popularized by haunted mansion attractions.

Ed Edmunds of Distortions Unlimited and AJ Good of The House of Masks discuss the origin and history of the Zombie Beheaded puppet illusion, which famously served as the basis for Buckethead's iconic 'Herbie' stage prop.
