Alan E. Ostrander
(President/Creative Director/Master Designer & Artist)

'Alan O' has been a professional Theatrical Artist for film, TV, and live productions since 1986. He began performing at age 8 and has lived "in the arts" ever since, working extensively in the US, Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong, and South America. Primarily a Make-up / FX Artist, he is also well regarded as an Actor/Performer, Writer/Director, Set/Costume/Props Designer, Stage Manager, Haunt Expert and Scenic Artist.


Alan found a niche in the Halloween/Haunted Attraction industry during his 8 year run at

Terror on Church Street in Orlando FL, where he was Head Character/Make-up Designer, Performer and Show Manager for this infamous year-round attraction.

He is regarded as an expert authority within the industry, and has been published in many leading trade magazines and articles, as well as teaching & lecturing, worldwide.

Credited as "Hong Kong's 'Father of Halloween'", Alan O began working with Ocean Park-Hong Kong in 2001 to bring 'American-Style Haunting' to HKG & produce the largest Halloween Theme Park Event in Asia. For the next 13 years, he continued to work as an artist/consultant/designer to help the event grow and become the only one of it's kind in the world! Originally, solely the Make-up & Character Designer for this event, he has also worked many years as the Creative Show Dir/Talent Dir and more for the entire 'Halloween Bash', as well as overseeing all operations of the AEO Team.
