Hi~ newbie to the forum.

I have three teenagers and we are known for our annual Halloween parties. Each year has to outdo the last. We hold the parties in our front yard which is filled with pine trees. (I will attempt to post pics in the album section after this post.) Last year in addition to all the props, we held an outdoor movie on a 9' x 16' screen. We watched "Dead Silence." My husband and our friends also had a few scare tactics that they used during the movie. It was totally dark out there except for our fire pit. They kids really loved it.

But~ this year I would like to create an even bigger "wow" factor with a scarier mood. Thinking about sectioning off a huge party area with the black plastic and have a maze entrance with scare tactics throughout. That would be the only entrance to the party area. Maybe shrouding the area with tree branches or something. I know the maze is a tried and true event, but I am wondering if anyone has done a very large area like I stated above.

I am up for any other ideas as well. The woods is a great ambience for Halloween by itself. Just wanting a big scare and wow factor....

This year we are thinking of watching "Dead Birds." My husband even got some corn seed. We are going to plant it in the front, hopefully it will grow. We are using the evil scarecrow theme as well.

TIA
