September 5, 2009 -
On 31 Aug 2009, at approximately 730am, our Orlando studio burned to the ground.
The fire is still under investigation, however, it appears it is of an electrical nature.
The tragedy here is that Alan and I, along with our core staff are currently overseas, working on bringing Halloween Horror to a Hong Kong theme park.
Due to this incident, we will not be able to process any orders for this 2009 Halloween Season.
We will be returning to Orlando on 11 Nov 2009, to begin the rebuilding process.
Our official statement:
While we were out in Hong Kong, working on bringing more horror to Asia, at
Ocean Park's Halloween Bash, we were sadly notified that our studio/shop in Orlando, Florida burned to the ground Monday morning.
Please pass this along to our compatriots in the Haunted Industry, and Theatre Environs, who are our customers, supporters and friends, past and present.
AEO Studios will rebound from this, as we have weathered many things, including
economic turnarounds, industry changes, and all that goes with running our own Entertainment Company. We hope that we
will turn around to create a smashing presence at HauntWorld in Orlando this
coming spring.
From Alan and myself, we extend our gratitude for your support, in the past, present and the future. Thank you very much for the outpouring of emails, texts, Facebook postings, and voicemails.
In the meantime, should you need to contact us, our shop phone is still operational: (407) 677-8706.
Or you can email us at either: drew@aeostudios.com and/or alan@aeostudios.com
