The Team

Who is the core team behind Frolic’s Haunt?

Frolic’s Haunt is a massive undertaking that required 60+ volunteers in 2017. We have a five-person “core team” that are the disembodied brains of the Haunt. Our core team is crucially supported by the 60+ “ghouls” (our regular volunteers) that assist us as they can throughout the year. Ghouls may attend most or some meetings, or work only on the Haunt weekend. Our core team members attend every meeting to work, supervise, and teach our ghouls.

 

Robin, Haunt overlord and host21731660_10154717246717260_4706592252065737556_o

Robin’s skill-set includes more than fifteen years of costume-making and prop-making, as well as moderate carpentry and design experience.

Since childhood, Halloween has always been Robin’s favorite holiday. They’ve never forgotten the joy they felt when attending neighborhood home haunts and they love using their skills to create that joy for others. They have invisible disabilities so they’re passionate about accessibility for all.
