DESCRIPTION
First impressions are powerful and very important in creating the atmosphere and setting. For a Haunted Attraction this includes the entry area and façade (fake front) of the attraction. With one glance the patrons should know what kind of structure they are about to enter, the approximate time period and what may be in store for them within. A dramatic, realistic looking façade can greatly enhance the overall haunt experience and will increase ticket sales! Learn the steps in designing a spooky facade for your attraction from 30 year industry veteran Leonard Pickel, known for his “spooktacular” Haunted Architecture, and pick up some tricks and tips about how you can make the facade on your attraction look more evil and foreboding.

Fractional Perspective : The first floor of a building is built at a reduced scale, seven-eighths of reality. A second floor is build at seven-eighths of the main floor. A third floor, if there is one, would be seven-eighths of the floor below it, and so on.
