The Art of Fear was Mr. ManiacalÕs first book published back in 2005. With another book on the horizon Mr. Maniacal has revised his first book and has decided to re-release it to the public.
The Art of Fear is Mr. ManiacalÕs in-depth look at the
haunted attraction industry and the creative nerve center
behind the show. Not your typical Òhow-toÓ book, The Art
of Fear is a collection of theories and techniques he has
gathered over the past 15 years in the industry. Covering
topics like room design, soundscapes, lighting, character
creation, and more makes this book not just for haunted
attraction owners, but everyone involved in putting on a
haunted show. The industry and customer expectations
have changed and the haunted attractions must change
with them. This is a perfect companion for any haunter.
