When tech support collides with Halloween, the results are scary
Our first story comes from a reader we'll Regomize as 'Vlad,' who told us that he once worked on the audio-visual team at a large theme park.
'Every year we had a Halloween event that involved opening temporary attractions that featured a lot of special effects run by actors,' he told On Call, before explaining that 'For us in the AV world, the term 'Performer' or 'Actor' conjures the same emotions our brothers in arms in IT think about when they hear 'End User'.'
One Halloween, Vlad got the job of supporting one of these attractions, which was made up of a series of themed rooms with connecting corridors.
