Tumbleweed Haunted House 2009

One of two major projects in 2009 was a center-wide haunted house. With clients, staff and community volunteers, we transformed the center into a house of horrors. More than twenty youth and half a dozen staff members dressed up as zombies over Halloween weekend and performed for community members brave enough to make their way through the re-imagined drop in center.

A client designed this flyer, which was distributed all over the Phoenix area. Terrifying, isn't it?

One of two video trailers that went up on YouTube to publicize the event! There's nothing more terrifying than a singing zombie...

Artist in Residence Sarah Sullivan nearly comes under attack from several zombies.

 More photos and the second video trailer after the break!



The second video trailer. Don't forget...when it comes to zombies, there is NO safe space...
