JOHN "HAMMERMAN" HANCOCK AKA "DR. PEEEBODY" FROM NIGHTMARE AT 3008 IN FULTONDALE, AL.

John Hancock, aka “Hammer Man,” or just Hammer, has been haunting for a span reaching through four decades. Starting in Jr High school at a school driven haunt and worked many back yard and community haunts through his teen years. He grew up in the business, and eventually moving to Birmingham, got into bigger haunts. His first major haunt produced a bevy of characters, including the one he is most known for, the “Hammer Man.” Swinging a 30-pound sledgehammer day in and day out, destroying anything that was in front of him and terrorizing patrons and other actors alike, and earning his name in the big leagues. Hammer stepped into management roles as early as 2006 as an assistant Actor Coordinator and trainer, and continued that role through present day. He still gets in costume and acts as much as he can, keeping busy through haunt season and further throughout the year. Hammer has worked in Multiple States, helped build haunts from the ground up, been part of the build team and tear down team for several haunts, and hires and trains actors new and old. Having worked with well-known haunts such as Sloss Fright Furnace, Warehouse 31, Spooktrail, Arx Mortis, he finds himself running the halls of Nightmare at 3008 officially from 2017 to current. But be careful looking for him, as you might run in to his twisted alter ego, Dr. Peeebody!

"ALTER EGO"

Dr. Peeebody was a reputable Doctor of Medicine and research of some notoriety, until he started using experimental drugs on himself to further his research. It warped his mind, and his fellow coworkers could not find a way to keep him in check. His family had committed him to an asylum in hopes of helping, but his anger got the better of him. Learning how to appear to be in control, he earned his way on to the advisory staff at the hospital, where he was secretly using other patients to experiment on. This caused an outbreak of even more enraged, outraged patients and they eventually took over the asylum, led by the crazed doctor. His recent exploits have led him to working for Haunted attractions and further experimenting with actors and unsuspecting patrons; who would suspect his plan? Take heed as you roam around during haunt season. You never know what corner you’ll find him around.
