Luckily for them, they have master designer Brooke Adair Walters (BFA\/Film and Television New Media &#x2018;06) on their side.&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\nWalters is a name that many folks who are fans of the Halloween Haunt season will recognize. For many years, she created some of the most iconic mazes at Knott&#x2019;s Scary Farm, and terrified countless people as they roamed through the halls she created.&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9289\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9289\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9289\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/dodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2016\/10\/Knott_s_Scary_Farm-Buena_Park-California-d613231605944bea95ea1718d54567a7.jpg\" alt=\"Trick or Treat\" width=\"580\" height=\"414\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9289\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><br \/>\n Trick or Treat<\/figcaption><\/figure>&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\nHowever, she first got her start here at Dodge College, where she originally took up 3D Animation.&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\n&#x201C;I loved doing it, but spending 13 hours locked in a room by yourself all day made me crazy. I needed some personal interaction,&#x201D; she said. While she was attending Chapman, she was also painting sets for Knott&#x2019;s Scary Farm, and found she enjoyed doing that quite a bit.&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\n&#x201C;There was no production design track then, so I worked with my advisor, Adam Rote, to help create my own curriculum so I could study that for my New Media degree,&#x201D; she said.&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\nWalters worked tirelessly learning Adobe Illustrator and using vector art, while also continuing to work at Knott&#x2019;s. Eventually, her hard work payed off, as Knott&#x2019;s designer Daniel Miller asked if she would be interested in working on a maze together. In 2007, her first effort came to life for Scary Farm in the form of Doll Factory. That set off a long career at Knott&#x2019;s, where she created such memorable mazes such as Forevermore, Terror of London, and the still popular Trick or Treat.&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9290\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9290\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9290\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/dodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2016\/10\/doll_factory_facade_2.jpg\" alt=\"Doll Factory\" width=\"580\" height=\"435\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9290\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><br \/>\n Doll Factory<\/figcaption><\/figure>&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\n&#x201C;My policy in life is to always say yes, to branch out and try new things, and that is basically how I got started designing for Knott&#x2019;s,&#x201D; Walters said.&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\nThough she got her start during Scary Farm, Walters also branched out to work for Knott&#x2019;s overall, working as an entertainment designer for them before moving up to work for parent company Cedar Fair.&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\nOutside of Knott&#x2019;s, Walters has also worked with record labels to design album covers, produced several music videos, and has many short horror film credits.&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\nThough she took a break from the scene for a few years, Walters came back with a vengeance to the haunt design world this past summer, designing Blood Offering: The Curse of the Iron Witch, for the ScareLA convention in August.&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\n&#x201C;This was the first time I really did a maze without being under the umbrella Knott&#x2019;s, so it was a scramble to get to opening day,&#x201D; she explained. However, she credits her amazing crew with helping her to get it done.&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9291\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/dodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2016\/10\/ScareLA_v3_Painting_WithType-e1469407265175.png\" alt=\"scarela_v3_painting_withtype-e1469407265175\" width=\"580\" height=\"774\" \/><br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\n&#x201C;Actually building the maze was a challenge, because we couldn&#x2019;t load in until Friday morning, and we opened Saturday morning. We were there until 1AM the night before, until they kicked us out, to get it done,&#x201D; she said.&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\nReturning to the haunt world lit a fire under her again, and now she is back to doing this as her passion. In fact, she recently opened up a brand new company, Cunning Fox Creations, to take on new design work.&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\n&#x201C;With Cunning Fox, I want to push envelopes,&#x201D; she said. &#x201C;I want to do all the things I ever wanted to do, and then some. I want to explore new technology. I say that Imagine + Innovate + Create = originate.&#x201D;&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\nWalters has plenty of plans for the future, with more ideas brimming out of her head than ever before.&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\n&#x201C;My goal is to open a seasonal haunt, something that we open 3 to 4 times a year,&#x201D; she said. &#x201C;I want each one to be different, so it&#x2019;s not about quantity but quality.&#x201D;&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9292\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9292\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9292\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/dodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2016\/10\/brookewalters.jpg\" alt=\"Brooke Walters\" width=\"580\" height=\"387\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9292\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><br \/>\n Brooke Adair Walters<\/figcaption><\/figure>&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\nAt the moment, she has a few potential locations that she is considering using, but hasn&#x2019;t set anything in stone yet. But she is ready to live by her &#x2018;innovate or die&#x2019; mantra.&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\n&#x201C;I want to do an overnight event somewhere. I want to do an escape room. I want to work in VR,&#x201D; she said. &#x201C;Basically, I keep throwing ideas at the wall to see what sticks. I always tell people, nothing is too crazy, nothing is too out there, let&#x2019;s just see what works.&#x201D;&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\nWhen asked if she had any words of wisdom for current students, she had quite a few things to say.&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\n&#x201C;Making connections, and then working and maintaining those connections, make success,&#x201D; she said. &#x201C;Follow your craft and do It passionately. Learn to sell yourself, and your ability to show people who you are and how good you are at what you do.
