GENERAL PRESS INFORMATION
THE CONTEST
Spook House Logistics, Ltd. has created a “first of its kind” essay contest whereby contestants get a hands-on chance to help develop the storyline and character attributes of the iconic, creepy host from Kreepy Krawly’s House of Horrors, namely one Edgar “Kreepy” Krawly. Beyond a few on-site photos of Edgar, and the given fact that he “steals human brains” for his own purposes, little is known about Edgar -- He is a virtual blank slate left to the imagination of the Contestants.
An essay contest is not a new idea, however, in this instance, the First Prize Winner becomes an “honorary partner” of Kreepy Krawly’s House of Horrors and will earn 5% of its net profit for 5 years, once the attraction is completed. Such an opportunity has never been given before. In addition, the First Place Winner gets to visit the haunted house and go behind the scenes and see how the magic is created. The First Place Winner will also have their head molded and a life-like dummy replica made of their head, by Hollywood FX artists. This dummy head will be displayed at the entrance of the attraction to represent the first of Edgar’s victims. These are just a few of the prizes.
Upon its completion, Kreepy Krawly’s House of Horrors will be a 17,000 square foot, state-of-the-art, haunted house attraction and entertainment facility. The attraction, located in North-East Ohio, is currently half-constructed and in need of a few hundred thousand dollars to complete.
SPOOK HOUSE LOGISTICS, LTD.
Spook House Logistics, Ltd. -- A 50/50 blend of proven creativity and business smarts -- Was formed in 2010 to, among other tasks, capitalize the completion of Kreepy Krawly’s House of Horrors. Instead of relying solely on conventional capital sources (bank loans / investors), we are appealing directly to the people who truly count: haunted house aficionados, fans of horror, every kind of artist, those who (like us) think a little different … in short, people who do “get it.”
DAVID BARTON
David Barton, who will manage and design this attraction for the parent company, has nearly three decades of experience working as a Hollywood special effects make-up artist / designer, artist, writer, and director within the haunted house industry.
Much to the chagrin of his parents (who “disappeared” issues of “Famous Monsters of Filmland” brought home by their son) David decided at a young age that he wanted to make monsters for a living. He originally started building them out of paper mache, eventually working his way up to professional FX materials by the age of 16.
At age 21, David married his wife, Michelle, and they moved to Los Angeles, California. David worked on his first film, “Phantasm II”, specializing in sculpture, mold making, animatronics, on-set puppeteering, and FX operation. Within 2 years of his moving to Los Angeles, David was running his own shows, and shortly thereafter opened his own make-up FX studio. Altogether, David has worked professionally in Hollywood for 22 years, contributing work on: “The Abyss,” “Starship Troopers,” “The Usual Suspects,” “Bound,” “Bicentennial Man,” “Face/Off,” “A Beautiful Mind,” “Apocalypto,” and “300,” to name a few. In 2001, David wrote and directed the ultra-low budget film “Dead & Rotting”.
David has professional skills as an FX make-up artist, SAG puppeteer, sculptor, painter, mold maker, a conceptual designer, prototyping, machining and animatronics, prop construction, and set dressing to name a few.
GEORGE PEYTON
George Peyton has been attracted to monsters and all things horror from an early age. Six to be exact, and it happened in the back seat of the family station wagon watching “Night Of The Living Dead” at the local drive-in. His life was changed forever… and now George is unable to eat chocolate syrup covered cold cuts.*
George is a successful entrepreneur managing several growing businesses. He is the owner and president of White Tiger Graphics, a design and printing company doing business nationwide since 1988. He is also the owner and managing member of Geo-Sites Ltd., a real estate development company, with both residential and commercial properties. In 2009, George purchased the London State Theater, a 1939 movie theater, which was badly in need of being renovated.
George brings a wide variety of skills to the mix: business management, art & digital design, and project management, being just a few.
George and David Barton first met on the set of David’s film “Dead & Rotting.” George, and several employees from George’s company, answered an open call for background extras to perform in a bar scene.
* This is a joke reference. Bosco Chocolate syrup was used as blood in “Night of the Living Dead” (and other B&W movies) and some of the simulated flesh the zombie actors ate was cold cuts.
