Wayward Video: How to Soundtrack a Haunted House

Posted by Jason Harper on Wed, Oct 28, 2009 at 9:32 AM

Every year at Halloween, Kansas City musician John Bersuch, of bands such as Bacon Shoe and Minds Under Cover, builds a haunted house inside of his West Bottoms loft. For this, the fourth year that he's built it, the Interior House of Horror will be open to the public for the first time, on Sunday, November 1, from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. (The address is 1524 St. Louis Avenue.)

Also for the first time this year, Bersuch made and recorded scary noises to be played throughout the haunted house on a system of speakers. I wondered how a person would go about producing such a soundtrack, so I invaded Bersuch's ghostly emporium with my camera of doom to find out. Enjoy.

Agreed on all counts. Though I haven't seen it near finished yet, it looks like JB learned a lot from Scott Hobart's work on last year's.

The haunted house was bad ass. The effort put into it was amazing.

I went to this last year, and I was stunned at how good this thing was. No, he didn't hire a cast of dozens, but the layout was badass. Also, you might catch a band doing some Misfits covers as a bonus...
