Q & A with Paul Johnson of ATROX

Question:  Our industry is always proud of every haunted house that participates in charitable offerings, but yours is solely a “charity haunt” which is so wonderful.  How much have you been able to help your local Alabama charities?

Answer:  Since 2002 we have given away over $2,000,000 to local Alabama 501C-3 Charities.  The rest of our monies have gone back into the haunt itself each year filling up the 50,000 square feet of space.

Question:  Your building is over 60 years old.  I’m sure that’s where a lot of the money goes too.  Would you agree?

Answer:  Yes.  Although we own the building and the assets, we try each year to take on certain projects to keep the 60+ year old building in shape like roof repairs, electrical, etc.  It gets expensive if you don’t watch yourself.  Plus we’ve added additional areas for the haunted house itself like Hollywood level makeup rooms, storage areas, prop rooms, and vacuforming  areas, and of course creating new sets and illusions that only Atrox can deliver!

Question:  For a building that old, I’ve got to ask… Is it haunted for real?  Any ghosts?

Answer:  Well, I’m not really glad you've asked… but yes, many believe so.  In fact, a few paranormal ghost-hunter folks from around the area believe it is haunted too.  When they ask me if I want to see what they’ve caught on film or hear what they have picked-up on their audio devices, I always decline.  I’d rather not go there.  Over the years, we’ve had some pretty unbelievable, unexplainable things happen, not only to us, but some of the outside contractors that have worked in the haunt have experienced ghostly oddities too.  We’ve even asked the previous owner’s family about someone getting sick or dying while they were in business.  I personally haven't had any experiences other than that haunting feeling of someone watching me or maybe the hair going up on the back of my neck.  Although, I can always direct people to exactly where “they” are… It’s where I frequently feel those cold or hot spots in the haunt or other parts of the building.  Maybe because the “whatever it is” knows my voice or my walk “it” doesn’t bother me much, but some of the crew have each heard  a little girl talking on different occasions and other strange similarities.  I could tell you dozens of stories, but I won’t bore your readers.  Anyone wanting to hear ghost stories I’ll be glad to sit down with them over a beer.  Some of the stories might blow your mind!

Question:  What do you attribute much of your success to?

Answer:  The haunted house staff (our Scream Team) is incredible. We are fortunate to have the people that continue to make this beast come to life each year.  Thank you Kyle, Craig, Russell, Trap, Brian, Pat, Barry, Heather just to name a few.  These guys are really the heart and soul of Atrox, not to mention the 130  paid actors and the multiple charities that will be forever in my debt.

Question:  Atrox is well known in the haunted house community and throughout Alabama for having Celebrity Horror Nights.  I’d love to know who all have visited Atrox?

Answer:  Yes, Many celebrities that have graced our stage.  Years back when we made our first trip to Transworld, we saw a gentleman at a booth signing autographs, Kyle pulled me to the side and said “Dude, do you know who that is?”  I told him I had no clue.  He said Gunner Hanson!  At the time, I didn’t know who that was.  I had played Freddie Kruger at the JCs haunted house many many years ago, but other than that I had not seen many horror movies except for the Macabre Theater, with the hostess with the mostest… Elvira.  Still, I had no clue who he was.  After we returned from the show I started doing some web searching and planned on meeting everybody that ever was in a horror movie.  That began our celebrity appearances.

Since 2002, we’ve had appearances by Gunnar Hanson, Robert Englund, Doug Bradley, Kane Hodder, Jonathan Breck, Linda Blair, Dee Wallace, Tony Moran, Elvira, Adrienne Barbaou, Ernie Hudson, Bill Mosley, Sid Haig, Shawnee Smith, Ken Foree, Scout Taylor Compton, Tyler Mane, William Forsythe, Danielle Harris, Derek Mears, Mellisa Cowen, Brett Wagner, PJ Soles, Niaomi Grossman, Dan Yeager, Walter Phelon, Angus Scrimm, Dick Warlock, Tony Todd, Chris Carnel, Michael Berryman, J. LaRose, Michael Bailey Smith, Butch Patrick, Lisa Loring, and Dave Prowse.  I may have left out one or two.  Sorry.

Question:  What are your future plans for haunting Alabama?

Answer:  Our plans are to expand our footprint to a possible additional haunt further down the road, but for right now we are still making Atrox explode each year with new concepts and innovations that only the Atrox crew can dream up!
