Creeperum Update!

Creeperum5

Here’s an update on the status of Creeperum:

Local community development departments, as well as state government programs and offices, (whose job it is to help and fund small companies/businesses like us), have failed in their priorities. Due to this, a proper location was not found in time to open this year.

Everyone is very disappointed, but Creeperum will now focus primarily on aggressively marketing early next year, and perfecting and building new never before seen in CT illusions and props for 2016 will start immediately. Perfecting and building the new maze, ticket booth, & outside façade for 2016 will also start immediately.

The Creeperum website will reflect the new changes & new opening for 2016 soon. By January 2016, the only concern will be to focus on finding the best location for Creeperum as possible.

The silver lining in all this is that we will be able to perfect Creeperum and give a better show & product by next year; no rushing this year!  We will also raise more money through investors to cover all working capital needs.

People have asked if we are sure we can open in 2016; the answer is YES! This is not a hobby, this is a necessary upgrade to our existing  business Your Custom Haunted House. This is merely delayed not defeated!  We have already invested a lot of money, resources, time and equipment, so this is going to happen; on to 2016!

Help Bring Creeperum to Life!

Creeperum
Last week we wrote about CT’s newest haunted attraction, Creeperum brought to you by our parent company Chimera Enterprise LLC. The goal of Chimera Enterprise is to bring you a quality haunted attraction that lives up to our high standards and will keep you and your friends coming back for more scares.

To do that though, we need your help! Consider giving to our Go Fund Me campaign to help us provide the standard in haunt excellence. Click the link to donate to the campaign; thank you! http://www.gofundme.com/zq47fc44

Welcome to Creeperum

Let our sinister collection of creepy, fantastic and horrific oddities from around the world and beyond grab you and drag you into the darkness that is Creeperum, a sideshow haunted attraction that has secrets for both young and old.

It doesn’t take long for emotions to turn from curiosity to fear as you wander in almost total darkness searching for a way out; faint glimpses of light fooling you into believing an exit is near. All you can do is feel your way through one corridor after another while unexpected creatures appear all around you. Yes, there is a new reason to fear the darkness…

The nightmare that is Creeperum will push your senses to their limits this Halloween.

Of course once you leave Creeperum and the fear subsides, the laughs begin as you recover and relive the entertainment in your mind and with your friends; at that point your only desire is to go back and experience the excitement all over again!

This is the story behind Creeperum, Connecticut’s newest haunted attraction produced by Chimera Enterprise LLC, parent company of Your Custom Haunted House. When asked why build in Connecticut, owner Angelus Perez answered “to create permanent new full and part time jobs and to bring badly needed family oriented tourism to the state. The focus is to create a premier year round family entertainment center themed specifically for all those Halloween lovers out there. The Creeperum haunted attraction is just the beginning of the haunt experience that Chimera Enterprise LLC has planned for Connecticut.”

Another benefit of building the attraction in Connecticut is the ability to work with local vendors, artists and business professionals in order to showcase their expertise and as a result, increase business opportunities for all of us. Staying local will also allow us to support local groups and nonprofits by allowing them to use the Creeperum attraction for fundraising events.

We hope to have the Creeperum attraction ready to open for fall 2015 but the process of starting a small business in the state of Connecticut has not been easy! There is a lot of red tape to cut through and it is not business-friendly at all. Between working with city officials to find a proper, safe location and the permit process, the project has been delayed by several months. While these setbacks have been disappointing, the goal of Chimera Enterprise LLC is to bring you a quality haunted attraction that lives up to our high standards which may mean delaying the opening of Creeperum until fall 2016.

With our haunted attraction Creeperum, Chimera Enterprise LLC is committed to providing you with the highest standard of excellence in haunt entertainment; we look forward to scaring you!

CT Horrorfest 2015

CT Horror Fest Poster

On Saturday, July 18th Your Custom Haunted House had the pleasure of attending the 2nd Annual Connecticut Horrorfest horror convention presented by the Horror News Network!

This year’s event took place at the Matrix Conference Center in Danbury, CT and featured horror celebrities like Doug Bradley, the original Pinhead from “Hell Raiser”, as well as horror themed vendors and panels to discuss classic horror films like “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.”

A good time was had by all; turnout was great and convention attendees really got into the spirit of the event by dressing as their favorite horror icons. Your Custom Haunted House got to meet several horror favorites like Sarah Nicklin, independent actress known for such films as “Exhumed”, “Zombie Allegiance”, and the cult hit “Atomic Brain Invasion”; Melissa Cowan, actress best known for her portrayal of the zombie Hannah on season one of AMC’s “The Walking Dead”; and Doug Bradley, actor best known for his portrayal as the original Pinhead from “Hell Raiser.”

Check out our photos from the convention and be sure to mark your calendars for next year’s event!
