We've been in contact with Jason of Audio Zombie and have some samples of his stuff on the way. He gave  me a brief run down of his operation and how/what he does, and let me tell ya....this guy was made for the haunt industry. I can't wait to listen to the albums myself! I don't want to get ahead of myself too much, but ill leave ya with a sample. Some of you may know the movie Silent Hill was based on an actual location...well...Jason went there and recorded hundreds of hours of audio, then edited it down and made an album out of it. He says with the right speaker setup you can literally feel what your hearing. I got at least 5 or 6 scene ideas for a haunt while he was just telling me this stuff, I can only imagine what I'll come up with once we get it! On top of that album, they have several other themed albums as well as some sound libraries...so we'll be sure to give ya all the info on those, as well as his custom work, in the video.

We met up with Shayne from Brutal Rust at Transworld. After we conned one of his sales guys into letting us talk to him, we told him we we're just starting a review company, had no credentials, no name, no previous work, and not even really sure if our idea would work or not. Honestly....I never would've expected his reaction. He stepped off to the side with us and told us his story, listened to ours, talked about the industry, etc. All this while his sales guys were running around crazy taking orders and talking to people who were clearly there to spend money...but Shayne stayed with us, to the point of even flagging us back down again at the end of the show to chat some more. One of the nicest guys I've ever met, very informative, and he made us all feel like our idea mattered to him. For him to take as much time as he did with us, a group of amateurs with an idea, I can only presume his customer support and dedication to his work is out of this world. On top of all that, Shayne gave us a kit of his Brutal Rust product to use on our set...so we will be doing a full review as well as a video of the application process shortly.

Things are getting exciting here folks...can't wait to get the content flowing on a regular basis. Until next time...stay slashy!

We all know what happens when you throw several thousand haunters into a convention hall filled with some of the best vendors in the industry, and then offer after hours parties and activities for 4 days straight....you get WIPED OUT!

We had a great time at the show, met some old friends and made a ton of new ones. It was amazing how many new vendors show up each year...proving this industry is a non-stop evolution train...just when you think you've seen it all and all the great ideas have already come out, there's always people who push that boundary with their own great ideas and open up seemingly endless doors of opportunity, Evil Olive was welcomed with open arms by everyone we talked to, and we got an overwhelming amount of interest and support in our idea. 

We are talking with several companies as we speak about getting some products to review, in addition to the ones we were just given at the show. We are working on roughing up a simple set for our videos, which we will be constantly expanding on as we get our reviews going...and will be doing video blogs on the set building process for those companies who donate stuff for us to incorporate into the set.

We really can't wait for these next few weeks to get here...but for now i do believe some hard earned rest is in store for us all...at least for another hour or two....ok maybe just 5 more minutes...who am i kidding, we can rest when we are dead!

3 days til we leave for Transworld, everything is finally coming together. We're getting our business cards in today, and will have our shirts tomorrow. We have already gotten a decent amount of responses from emails sent out for companies to meet with at Transworld, we are getting really excited about this. It's awesome having so many people interested in us and loving our ideas....makes it worth all this work we've been putting in lately. We will be arriving Thursday evening at the Holiday Inn across from the convention center. If you haven't spoke with us yet about meeting up, feel free to do so whenever, we WILL make time for everybody!

Alright everyone, Transworld is just over a week away and we can't wait! Now we are planning to talk to as many people there as possible about ourselves and what we are looking to do....but why not get a jump start on things? 

If you have a product or service that you offer in the haunt industry and are interested in us doing a review of it, we are starting to collect our information. If you will also be at Transworld, we can set up a meeting there as well to talk further.

What we are offering:
  1. Our honest and unbiased video review of your product/service, that will be tagged/linked and distributed on Youtube, Facebook, etc. (We will also provide a link to the video for you to display on your own website if you'd like.)
  2. A brief bio on your company and what you offer.
  3. A direct link to your site on our page, as well as pricing or any other info you'd like about the particular product.

We are not "pitting" any one company against another....we are here to help everyone. Here to help companies advertise their product/service, to help the consumers find what they want to buy, and educate everyone in between.

Follow this link to fill out a review form, and join the us in the jar!
