Greetings boys and ghoulssssss,
Occupy Houston is proud to announce its first ever Corporate House of Horrors! On October 29th, 7:00pm-10:00pm, Tranquility Park will be transformed into a spooky, eerie, freaaaaky haunted house – with one catch!
This house won’t be full of fake, false, and made-up horrors, this house will be filled with all the REAL HORRORS corporations inflict on humans, animals, and the planet! The real ghouls, demons, and specters are the faceless corporations wearing the skinssss of humanssss but acting like MONSTERS!
Come one, come all to experience the real horror we’re fighting! Pre-Halloween, because no one can compete with Halloween parties! Bring your families, your kids, and your brains! Because if you leave ‘em at home in front of the TV, a banking banshee might steal it awaaayyy-y-y-y-y!!!
WE DO NEED SOME HELP WITH SUPPLIES!
Here is what we need:
PLEASE NOTE, some of this stuff we don’t need 20 of – if y’all would be so kind as to get in touch with Maria Heg about what materials are needed, that would be utterly fantastic. m.elisaheg@gmail.com, or 7135530084 (voicemails are generally lost in the void – text would be best if you can’t reach me via phone).
- Wooden beams – two 10ft2in. beams to support a sign (particle board or plywood) about 19ft across that will be painted on.
- STURDY corrugated cardboard, about 80ft!
- the use of three (3) projectors on the night of the 29th
- extension cords
- fake spiderwebs
- skeletons! plastic or paper mache
- dry ice
Also, we could definitely use some people to help build a couple of things on Thursday, perhaps – ought not take too long, simple stuff. Let Maria know if you’re interested!

How can Maria be reached?
Great! I’ll Bring some supplies from Walmart
m.elisaheg@gmail.com!
WE NEED 3 PROJECTORS FOR THE NIGHT OF THE 29TH and extension cords too.
I would like to help you, but purchasing those items would require me to go to an evil corporation like Home Depot, Walmart, etc. and I wont do that…sorry.
Cool, well thanks for your desire to help anyway. Lots of local hardware stores are around Houston; Southland Hardware among them.
But who makes the cords?….Clowns
Irrelevant comment; the fact that we have been born into a system that corporate activity has rendered almost impossible to navigate without paying directly into their pockets does not make a protest against said system invalid just because we use some of their products to continue our movement.
We now have 3 projectors accounted for. JUST NEED ONE MORE!

becoming a laughing stock
Ok…so if Corporations are Evil. What is the Alternative? The standard of living we have today is the result of Corporations. The technology to put this site on the internet and the computer you use for posting would not exist without corporations. Even so called small businesses are connected to corporations through the products they offer and/or materials used to develop and manufacture them. Face the truth. You don’t contribute but want everything for nothing in the name of fairness. Whenever you hear the truth you label the rest of the country (53% who contribute) selfish. Instead of a Corporate House of Horrors why don’t you start a company and actually produce and product or service. Use your creativity to do something productive, rather than wasting your time on meaningless causes.
The standard of living we have today is from the hard work of American people, especially the generation following World War II. Corporations are just a tool, as is money. Anyone who scams, whether it is a corporation, an individual or and organization – is hurting society. And what up Bob? How do you know who “contributes” and what exactly does that mean? And, again, what is wrong with fairness?
The Corporate House of Horrors is a sign of life amidst the sheep who blindly follow the messages of the Military Industrial Complex, money traders and thieves who rule this country and much of the globe. Taking a stand for Justice is our only hope as a Nation and livable Planet, for that matter.
