ABOUT US....
The Beginning..... It all started in 1983 when I worked my first "Campus Life Haunted House" in Miami, Florida. I loved the experience so much that I worked each night they were open over a 30 day period and volunteered to work each room inside. I started in the Dungeon, then moved on to the Black and White Checkerboard Room, the Ghostly Banquet chowing down on worms and monkey brains, and several other great roles until I finished working the "Temple of Doom". The following year I was able to start working with them during the building process where I learned valuable secrets to putting these events together. In 1986 I left Miami and after school ended up in Albany, Georgia. The only show around back then was the Jaycees show, which was small and very low budget, yet entertaining for what they had to work with. It took me till 1990 before I was back in the Halloween business. I was approached by my sister who managed a local apartment complex and was asked to build a haunt for their annual Halloween party. It started out in a kitchen(really small yet ambitious), then we scored an entire apartment to "spook up" before ending up in the Club House. In here we built the entire floorplan in a large empty room. In 1994 the Great Flood of South Georgia hit and washed away the apartments as well as all my props. After some rebuilding I started a yard haunt in 1998 and 1999 which was very popular and got the attention of a local civic club who offered me the chance to go commercial again in an old building in Downtown Albany. This became the largest and most successful Halloween event in the area raising many dollars for local charities. People traveled from all over to visit. In 2004, we celebrated our 5th Anniversary Scareabration in the location, and then in 2005 became known as "FrightNights", the name that we have adopted permanently. FrightNights..... Throughout the years in Downtown I have been very fortunate to work with a GREAT cast. Of course my wife Simone has been very supportive and helpful to me as well as understanding of this "weird"fascination. Without her contributions there would never have been the first Downtown event. But my cast has been the best. If you are building a haunt you want these guys and gals with you. Check them out on the picture pages. These are the folks who make this record breaking event what it was, and what it is. Wanna be a monster? If you are interested in working at this event feel free to email me at timgator@bellsouth.net. This is a volunteer opportunity to do good in the community and have a lot of fun at the same time. If you know of property owners who would loan the use of their building for an event like this email me as well! It would be great to add some new record breaking monsters to our group. This event has a very positive future in this area so email today and join us! How can this fundraiser help my organization? We are a professional theatrical group that brings over 16 years of Haunt experience. Our past shows in Downtown Albany at the old Silvers dept. store building raised several tens of thousands of dollars to local charities in this community. We are a fully self maintained show-you would have to provide the building to haunt and we provide all of the props, electrical, actors, and safety equipment. If you or your organization would like to discuss this in more detail email us at: timgator@bellsouth.net and we can set up a meeting. We are the scariest show and the most highly detailed show in South Georgia and our props and special effects are top notch! We also build the largest haunted attraction in this area. Our Creatures of the Night look forward to hearing from you!
