Fearsmiths

Fearsmiths Fearsmiths is bringing a new Haunted Attraction to Pinellas County.

We're obsessed with creating a hauntingly realistic world that includes both historically accurate surroundings and terribly twisted fictional events. Founded in January of 2017 by home-haunters Chris and Christine Arella, Fearsmiths is bringing Haunted House attractions to the Gulf-Coast region of Florida.

Fearsmiths was founded in January of 2017 by home-haunters Chris and Christine Arella to run Haunted House attractions in the Gulf-Coast region of Florida. After a successful Halloween-themed wedding (featured in a wedding trade publication), the Arellas decided they enjoyed designing Halloween events so much, they’d take it on professionally. Twenty-eight seminars, a dozen trade magazines, ten how-to videos, six books, three trade shows, countless iterations of a business plan, and a large chunk of their personal savings later, they kicked off the first brainstorming session and show preparations began. Chris and Christine currently live in Clearwater, Florida with their teenage kids, Madison and Jake, their Rottweiler, Ripley, two Pythons, and, of course, a black cat (Suki.)

For the pillars of a Ritual Room, we added some hidden demonic symbols which will reveal themselves when summoned.

Took my pneumatic dog crate "Director" software file for a test run and inadvertently triggered the barking through my headphones. Scared the crap outta me. Jumped back so far I pulled out the PIR wires I was working on. 😂 — feeling silly.

Snack time.

Caroline, our sexy master builder, Chris the-power-tool-God, and Louis, the guru of all things carpentry all pitched in today & WOW…we knocked out some work! An early morning trip to Northern Tool, a visit to our fellow-haunter Dave's house to see his bad-ass, hand-made scissor mechanism, two potential haunt locations checked out, two more church pews cut down to haunt size, two bunks of wood moved uphill to the garage, and a wall-jig designed & ready to go! Even got a special visit from our beautiful friend Jenna and her spunky, guard-dog-loving side-kick Little Lily. And Louis introduced us to a wonderful new friend. Thank you everyone & happy haunting!

Yet another great one from Stan Winston...

Good idea...
Human flesh jacket. You need this. Nice subtle touch for the M.C. of a haunt.
Not sure if you've heard of the "19 Crimes" wine yet, but it's a very cool idea- perhaps an app to accompany the haunts could be in the FearSmiths' future?!?!?
Woohoo! The season has STARTED!! 💀🕷😈🦇
My awesome husband Chris brings me the best surprises!
