It's that time of year again for the Haunt Industry. In the past few years, that season has lengthened, eclipsing Christmas season, especially if October has a Friday the 13th. August, 2026 started with the Mortuary's newest event attractions - THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS and The SAW MILL.Twenty years ago, while the Mortuary Haunted Mansion was being rebuilt, Lord Ravencroft unearthed an impossible artifact… a Colossal Mirror, veined with Black Mercury, framed in a Spiral of Petrified Shell. Its Surface rippled like Living Water, almost as a Creature Breathing. You'd almost swear as if Something were Alive just beyond the Looking Glass as its magnetism took all your willpower to resist. Cthulhu anyone?
So, cross the threshold and step through the looking glass...take a chance to see what awaits you when you cross the threshold!
The Mortuary presents: “Through the Looking Glass” complete with the Creepy-Guy voice.
For over 150 years, The Mortuary has been known as The House That Fear Built. A bit full of itself maybe, but get this... it's also a house of endings. A place where spirits cease to exist and stories come to a close. But, wait! Some stories do not end. Do you need to go to Texas for a Chainsaw Massacre? Not in this day and age - you can attend a Mass-uh-Cree at the Mortuary.
The task was to develop a hybrid voice for Chain-Saw-Charlie, the proprietor of the Saw Mill. To go along with his decayed sinister face, we devised a Cajun voice that was a cross between Foghorn Leghorn & Senator John N. Kennedy from Louisiana (how fitting). Well then, come deep in the swamp and visit the Sawmill — where the saws and screams are real alright and getting louder and louder than the machines...
So, to get back to the story at hand (Claw, not Craw) and how the picture of our evil-gatekeeper kept gnawing at me. Definitely, he's a bit worse for wear and that severe malocclusion is no way to Meet & Greet. And yet there was something familiar about him somehow. I could swear I've seen him before. Otherwise he's a perfect picture of health. No, that's not it...something about those E-Y-E's.
Wait-a-minute; he looks an awful lot like the cabbie in Home Alone II. Yeah, that's it. And he had the most creepy voice you'd want to hear at two in the morning in Central Park back in the nineties; "ain't much better in here kid"
P.S Tip-of-the-Hat to Mr. Tim Curry who played Mr. Hector, the suspicious concierge in Home Alone II. Who, along with Dana Ivey, answered Kathleen O'Hara's question of "What kind of idiots do you have working here" with the greatest return in movie history; "The Finest in New York!"
(ala Foggy) Now how...I say how - does a voice artist accomplish puttin' a voice together that embodies, I say gives it some of the characteristics of the whole kit-and-caboodle? Why you feed 'em, I say feed 'em into the main-frame called an Ai port. That's it...that's what ya do. And then you wait. That's right, you wait for an answer. And if that don't work, then - Click Play! (may not be suitable for younger ages)
