Nightmare On 19th Street expands to Thursday, Friday Saturday and Sunday nights this week (with reduced admission on Thursdays and Sundays). We thought this would be a good opportunity to show you where we came from.

Our digital dude Justin Massoud was out at Nightmare during preview night. He took picture of some of the actors getting pumped up.

I have to stress that many of these actors aren't in their final form. This is where everyone was just getting their feet wet. At the same time, I can tell you that most of these actors are pros and only have to make minor adjustments once the season gets going.

In the video, co-owner Corey Trahan pumps the actors up for the new year, then the film takes you inside a couple of scenes inside one of the haunts.

Check out this gallery of actors as they start the costuming and makeup process. The makeup goes from incredibly simple to giant, gaping wounds.
