Leonard Pickel, a seasoned professional with over three decades of experience in design and operations, has made a significant impact in the world of Haunted Attractions. His impressive portfolio boasts the creation of over 80 original and innovative Haunted Attractions, showcasing his creative genius and expertise.
One of his most notable accomplishments is the design and sales of the industry's first turn-key Haunted House 'kits,' allowing Haunted Attraction owners to easily set up their own terrifying experiences. Additionally, he pioneered the adaptation of the "Field Theory" (the triangular grid system),revolutionizing the way Haunted Attractions are designed and operated.
Leonard's impressive client list includes major venues worldwide, such as Madison Square Garden, Universal Studios Florida, Six Flags theme parks, Kentucky Kingdom, and Screams Terror Park. His Haunted Attractions have also been successfully implemented in foreign countries, including Puerto Rico, Canada, Russia, China, and India.
To date, over 1 million people from Los Angeles to New York, Orlando to Seattle, have had the opportunity to experience the "Pickel Theory" of Haunt Design firsthand. This remarkable achievement is a testament to Leonard's dedication to his craft and his ability to create unforgettable fright experiences.
In addition to his extensive client list, Leonard has also maintained his own Haunted Attraction, Mayhem Manor, since 1993. This hands-on testing facility allows him to experiment with new fright concepts and refine his designs, which are then implemented into new attractions for his clients.
