This isn’t about buying expensive, haunt-specific plug-and-play kits. This is about Stagecraft. I will show you how to use standard landscape components and theater tricks to build a lighting rig that is reliable, scalable, and terrifying.

The Power Grid: Engineering low voltage circuits that are reliable and safe!
The Art of Color: How to apply theatrical color theory to standard 12v fixtures to create dramatic lighting that doesn’t wash out your sets, or make your haunt look like a cheap bodega.
