awesome neighbor in my new 'hood~!

**kittyvibe** · 12-02-2010,12:55 PM

Ive been in this house about a year now and this was the first year I was able to setup most of my props for a garage haunt. I didnt know what to expect as far as TOT counts go, it was pretty meager after the first 2 hours.

But in the first 2 hours we had some cool people stop in and one such group was a rather large family who took pics of all of us and our decor. I had setup the scenes in a way where you can stand in front of them for photo ops.

Today I found an envelope with many pics they took that night and well wishes from the neighbor. It was such an awesome feeling to read how much they appreciated my decor (and my xmas stuff now too, hehe) and the bonus is I have actual pics in hand.

Its been such a long time since Ive had physical pics vs digital, it just was so great. And very pleasant feelings that I wasnt unappreciated in my efforts.

I hope next year gets more word of mouth and it can be even more fun.

My mom joked with me that she wished to put a bed in my garage and live there or have dinners in there for a fun theme year round when she first saw the setup.

Im excited to have neighbors looking forward to next year, and now I have someone I can send a hallowchristmas card to, hehe.

thats so nice! how awesome of them to give you those pics and get their feedback

Could you possibly scan your pictures and post them? I'm sure something that gave you this much joy, would be of interest to all of us.
Also, don't just rely on word of mouth, that may take several years to get the numbers you're hoping for - post a flyer or two. You'll be amazed - I know I was.

How sweet. It's great to hear about good neighbors for change. Nice welcome to the neighborhood!!!

okies I added pics finally of my haunt but they are extremely limited. IE, Im a lousy photog, lol.

I cant add the neighbors pics yet until I get my new printer, which has scanning ability, but I will add a few of hers. Most of them are blurry and unless you were there would have no idea what it looked like, lol.

She has better pics of my spider scene and a good one showing the colors for one side of my witches area. Sadly, neither of us got good non flash pics of the Vamp or Pirate area. The graveyard out back looked way cooler in person than it does in my photo album. Its very washed out from the flash and fog.

Actually alot of my pics looked washed out because of the bubble fogger, lol. Sorry!

I mean to do video eventually so I hope the pics dont spoil the scenes in advance.
