Apple Pecan Lodge ad

The ad for the Apple Pecan Lodge was an audio transcript, created as part of a class assignment in 2007. It was a predecessor to "All Your Shapes Are Belong to Us."

Content
Featuring numerous cheesy clips, including a voice quote from the movie Casablanca, the ad promoted a haunted house tour event being held at a fictional Apple Pecan Lodge. "With scares so effective, it's almost...criminal!" This was followed by a woman screaming, and the quote "round up the usual suspects!"

Production
The narration was recorded into a VoiP mic, and then edited in Audacity. Clips were taken from free clip sources, along with a music bed. The file was then exported as an MP3.

Distribution
Due to all the potential copyright issues, the file was never released outside of the classroom it was intended for. As of 2021, however, no surviving copies of the audio recording for sampling purposes could be found, so the project is considered destroyed. A script has been rediscovered, as of June 23rd, 2021. But there are no plans to make a new recording.

Reception
The end result recording never got more than mediocre reviews at best, though it was deemed interesting for replacing the original assignment's "Apple Lodge" with "Apple Pecan Lodge." And with having the cojones to put in a reference to Casablanca to make a point.
