Leonard Pickel
- Producer
With over 30 years of design and operations experience, Leonard Pickel
has created over 80 original and innovative Haunted Attractions. His
creative accomplishments include design and sales of the industry's
first turn-key Haunted House 'kits,' and the first Haunted Attraction
adaptation of the "Field Theory" (the triangular grid system). Leonard
has designed for major venues worldwide including Madison Square
Garden, Universal Studios Florida, Six Flags theme parks, Kentucky
Kingdom and Screams Terror Park, as well as Haunted Attractions in
foreign countries including Puerto Rico, Canada, Russia, China and
India. Over 1 million people from Los Angeles to New York, Orlando to
Seattle, have experienced the "Pickel Theory" of Haunt Design first
hand. Since 1993, his own attraction, Mayhem Manor, has provided Pickel
with a hands-on testing facility for new fright concepts, which are
then implemented into new designs for his clients.
