A VFX Customer’s
Amazing Success Story

“We usually have two or three hundred people the three nights we’re open. The first night we were open we had over a thousand people. It was all because of the Puppets!”

Another VFX Success Story

Home haunt goes from 200-300 patrons to THOUSANDS!

“People just couldn’t believe it, they’ve never seen anything like it.”

Author Patrick Voss | Januray 9 2023 | Interviews

This is awesome!

We were vending TransWorld’s Halloween & Attractions Show in St. Louis this past March, when a customer, Larry Prisock walked up and introduced himself to me.

Larry proceeded to tell me how he and his wife were home haunters and had purchased one of our Haunt Business Bundles the past Halloween.

This surprised me since our bundles include something like 3 puppets, a crate creature, a lunging box, 2 bungee heads and a Puppet Master Sound System loaded with chainsaw SFX…not cheap.

We put these bundles together to be able to offer a 20% quantity discount to attractions. I never thought home haunters would make this kind of investment…unless they have plans?

Here’s Larry’s story from the video…

“We bought a haunt business bundle from VFXcreates. We’re a home haunt. We don’t charge. It’s a free haunted house. It was a big leap for us to buy that bundle.

We got it and the very next day, one town over was having a street fair. So, I took one of the puppets and went to the street fair and literally, I just took a flyer and put it on the back of the puppet and on my back. And then, within 10 minutes, I had a giant crowd around me. People just couldn’t believe it, they’ve never seen anything like it.

So, fast forward 6 weeks later was our actual haunt, and like I said, we’re just a home haunt, we usually have two or three hundred people the three nights we’re open.

The first night we were open we had over a thousand people.

We’ve never had anything like that before. People were lined up almost around the block.

Crowd Around The Corner

My wife, she was asking the people, ‘Hey, how did you hear about us?’

The first night they said, ‘Oh, we saw you at the street fair, we saw you at the street fair!’

The next night, before we even opened, before it even got dark, we had a line halfway down the street and she’s out there asking again, ‘Hey, how did you hear about us?’

People were saying, ‘We had a friend that saw you at the street fair and posted about it on Facebook.’

On the third night, we had people saying, ‘We saw you on Stockton Police 911 Facebook page.  They had videos of your puppet on there and we had to see it in person.’ …and really, it completely turned around our home haunt.

Now we’re here at TransWorld and we’re actually going to lease a building and make it a business now, and it really started off because of the puppets of all things.”

This is such a great success story, and just one of many I hear from customers at the shows. It was so nice of Larry and his wife to stop by our booth and tell me this story.

I hope the success has continued for them with their pro haunt, and wish them the best of luck!

NOTE: We will be doing a follow-up with Larry to see how their haunt is doing, and maybe get more awesome stories.

VFX Attack Line Puppet Makes it To Prime Time Spanish Television

#CayetanaEH

Patrick Voss, the owner of VFX, received an email from Adrian Cervera, producer of El Hormiguero, one of the most popular live TV talk shows in Spain. The show had purchased a Munch Zombie Puppet from VFX and were going to use it on the show for some fun. 

“They had a lot of fun scaring the crew before the show and Munch was obviously a hit with the hosts and audience. They discussed how the VFX puppet worked and the sound buttons being hidden under the puppet’s pant leg.”

“If we had known in advance we could have helped them load some Spanish voiceovers on the puppet to use for the show.”  Voss was just excited to see one of his and lead artist, Doug Schaefer’s creations being used on live TV in another country.

The incredibly detailed puppet creations by VFX have scared and entertained people all over the world at haunt attractions, theme parks, and in individual’s homes. The company is continuously developing new, innovative products.

Interviews With Happy VFX Customers & Their Most Successful Products

Haunt Show Testimonials & Their Most Successful VFX Products

At every Haunt Show we attend, we do our best to talk to our customers and get feedback on how they use our products and how we can improve them. We always receive great comments, valuable info and return buyers.

So the team decided to start doing some impromptu interviews with their cell phones and create our “Haunt Show Testimonials”. The content and responses were so great that we handed them over to our new production and marketing team at Gregson Studios who produced this fun testimonial video.

Featured Testimonials From Our Video

The VFX team captured some fantastic interviews from customers at the shows. These were some of our favorites, and many were return customers who were there purchasing more VFX products.

We will continue to collect quality testimonials and interviews at shows and events now that we’ve experienced how powerful and helpful these type of sound bites can be. So if you’re a current customer, we would love to hear from you. Stop by our booth at any of the shows we attend and give us your feedback.
