The Derelict- new home haunt concept '09

A Whaling Trawler, possibly Russian, floats derelict in the Yucatan channel
“Fairweather calling Nordst. Over,” … nothing but static.
“Fairweather calling Trawler Nordst. Respond please.”
The rusty sides of the ship rise up ominously as you approach. The smell of dead rotting fish is over whelming. The water is black as night with a slight silvery sheen, it’s thousands of fish floating silently on the surface.

You climb over the side and find the deck a wash with a vile smelling dark black sludge. It covers almost everything and seem to contain bits of fishbone and seaweed. A strange crusty growth not unlike coral clings to the vertical surfaces and overhead lines. The only sounds are the slap of the waves and the groan of the wind.

A hatch bangs over head and you turn to see a frightened young girl disappearing down a dark passageway. The rusted entry beckons ominously. Luckily you brought flashlights. The passage is slanted to the right making walking difficult on the wet debris covered floor. The smell of what must be rust and mildew over power the rotting fish. And the sound of the wind has been replaced by the echo of a steady drip, drip, drip. Every once in awhile the ship groans metalically.
After meeting Peter Kwong at Monster Palooza and reading his wonderful graphic novel HYBRID I was inspired to create a new haunted attraction. I took last year's western haunt and the gulag idea we had worked on and put them together thusly:
1. the fence becomes the rusting sides of the tanker
2. the two story buildings become the bridge and walkway.
3. the town street becomes the deck
4. the caves become below deck where an evil 'thing' sucks the life from the crew that are embedded in the walls like in Alien.
5. the black oil spawns all manner of dark horrors including tar cloaked humanoids with hooks for hands.
6 but worst of all the evil is intelligent and creates traps and lures its victims to their doom!
