Halloween Experience
   
         
 
  Welcome, curious souls, to the official home of the Halloween Experience!  
  Hello, I'm James! Thanks for visiting this site! These pages contain an in-depth look at a big passion of mine - creating exciting Halloween displays for the people in my village! I call these the Halloween Experience!

Since first starting out in 2004, I have made fourteen shows for Halloween night. What began as a simple display has gradually grown into an enclosed and immersive walkthrough experience, featuring lighting and visual effects, animated figures and props, sounds and special effects. Each year visitor numbers have increased, with over 600 people coming to see 'Dr Jekyll's Laboratory' in 2018, and 'The Séance' in 2019! 

Almost everything you see in the photos and videos here, I have designed and built myself, including moving figures, props and set pieces, visual tricks and illusions. I have also constructed and programmed pneumatic and electronic systems to move and control these effects. The Behind the Scares section contains over 150 photos and diagrams and offers a detailed look at the designs and workings of many of the shows that I have built for Halloween so far.

I hope you enjoy seeing my creations and looking around these pages.
