Radio Activation - Halloween Competition

The Brief

We were tasked by a popular radio station and their star-studded line up of fabulous presenters, to help them co-create a spooky, cooky and spine-chilling Halloween inspired event. This activation was as part of a fun filled and interactive haunted house immersive challenge, which would see the radio station’s competition winners compete in a series of mad-cap games and thrilling quizzes to win the ultimate prize. We were to spook them along the way sometimes helping or misdirecting the players as they ventured through the haunted house.

What We Did

From our homegrown pool of actors, we cast the project, designed the costumes and SFX make-up. We produced a motley crew of 4 frightful characters to chill even the hardiest of souls to the bone. The classic killer clown, the dastardly horned devil, the brusque pallid butler, and the murmuring undead shuffling zombie. We cast actors who we knew would be able to fully commit to the role and really bring the fear factor while being sensitive to where the line was and switch character or back off as required to keep the experience exciting but not too frightening.

Working with our costume and prosthetics team, we were able to create striking looks with a high production value that allowed the competitors to fully immerse themselves and create vibrant shots for social media. It was imperative for us to select a make-up artist who had a great background in special effects make up to really lean into the gruesome aspect of some of our characters visages, this was especially challenging as it was for a breakfast show. Therefore, we had to faithfully recreate all make-up a second time, after evening rehearsals, in the early hours of the following morning. Throughout the process of costume design, make up design and rehearsals the team bonded beautifully making light work of the long days and our phenomenal team worked hard to support each other throughout this experiential activation project.

Highlights

The instant feedback from the competitors in the form of screams and giggles was brilliant as everyone enjoyed the human fascination with the macabre.

Our actors going above and beyond, creating sizzling social media content with the radio station’s super star presenter.

Meeting an immersive and challenging live shoot schedule with skill, enthusiasm, and a sense of fun.

Being able to do what we do best with our talented performer base with the additional support of our welfare co-ordinator and director who was coaching the actors into the fullness of their characters.
