Outstanding Contribution to the Haunt Industry
WINNER Stuart
Beare, Tulleys Farm
Voted for by the staff of
the Haunted
Attractions UK, this special award was given
in recognition of the dedication and support that
Staurt Beare of Tulleys Farm has showed to the scare
industry.
Back in 1995 they held their first Halloween event.
It may have been just one day and a pumpkin festival,
but what happened in that day gave them the vision
to carry on and expand. Two years later they opened
their first haunted walkthrough – the Cottage…
a few years later the Haunted Hayride and then in
2005 The Field of Screams. This impressive growth
culminated last year when they added a further three
mazes to their line up. More than many established
theme park could offer…
Stuart has seen the potential in Halloween from
the very start. He has been a father figure to many
other farms and attractions that have strived to
build an event and he was the very first person
with whom we made contact when HA first started.

Outstanding
Contribution of the Decade to the Haunt Industry
(2000 -2009)
WINNER Lynton
V. Harris, Sudden Impact Entertainment!
Back in 2002, a theme park
group were looking to get into the Halloween market
and not really knowing what to do themselves, contacted
this expert for ideas.
At this point he had had a lot of experience in
providing Halloween thrills, starting with a huge
Halloween musical originally shown in his home town
of Sydney, Australia culminating in the massive
Madison Scare Garden which opened in 1983 in New
York’s famous Madison Square Garden. This
event soon became annual and in its first four years
attracted over a quarter of a million visitors.
He then turned his expertise to theme parks and
very soon had a huge number of hit attractions and
a successful consultancy business on his hands.
Some of his work includes:
• SCREAM! Shanghai and Amsterdam
• Prison Break Live! Worldwide
• Universal Studios Monsters Alive! Las Vegas
• The Mummy Live! USA
• The Mummy Returns Live! Hong Kong, Singapore
and Australia
• Lara Croft: Tomb Raider Live! Australia
In the UK, Lynton produced the original Terror of
the Towers for Alton Towers, Freezer and Freakshow
3D for Thorpe Park, Chamber Live: Serial Killers
for Madame Tussauds and Warwick: Ghosts Alive which
ran for over 75,000 performances before being retired
in 2008
If it hadn’t have been for him, the UK hallloween
industry would be lagging even further behind the
US than it already is.His attractions are legendary,
his Scare School techniques are used by scare actors
across the UK and his work is as popular today as
it ever was.
