A creepy one-quarter mile walk through a pop-up Valencia haunt can fill the rush of a good scare as well as support those struggling in the film industry. Scott Niner, president, founder and owner of Dangling Carrot Creative, provided his studio as maze host. His company works in television and film graphics and he said he's had to lay off 34 employees when the strike happened.
'Purell has been a prop builder for nearly 30 years, and this is the first time he's been out of work for so long. When he got the phone call a little over a month ago to help build a haunted maze, he jumped on it.'They didn't think we could do it, but people don't realize, in the studio, we always make the deadline.'Purell's story is not unique. Those who volunteered to build and participate in the haunt have been without steady work for months and months.
