Thread: What's your theme this year?

Tweet

I'm just curious, what kinds of themes are people doing this year for their haunts?
I usually have my theme picked out by January, but this year, I'm at a total loss.

My hubby and his friends have been begging for a zombie based theme, and despite the fact that I am really not inspired at all by zombies, I agreed to it. However, now, we can't seem to land on a theme in which to put those zombies, and it's killing me! I am sure I'm going to have a TON of work to do, because it's already July and we don't have a theme yet. lol

But, they wanted a zombie theme, so they are getting a zombie theme... I just can't think of a way to decorate the house that will be fun or inspiring to go with the idea. *sigh*

Anyway, I'm interested to see what other themes people are doing, maybe I'll get some inspiration!

My theme - havefunwithit

I never really have a theme. I just put out my simple decorations each year and buy more things to add. As for costumes, I'm thinking zombie Frida Kahlo!!

Four Funerals and a Wedding. The centerpiece will be a bride wearing a black widow costume, marrying a ghost in an al-white tux. The ringbearer will be in white, the flower girl in black, etc. The funerals will be for her ex-husbands.

Mordessa, my advice is don't focus on the zombies, focus on the theme. Pick an idea that inspires you - a prom, a graduation, a carnival, an apocalypse, a camping trip, a science experiment, a necromancer raising an army to the dead, whatever - then populate it with zombies.

If I may proffer a suggestion, how about Voodoo Zombies? That's my theme this year. It would different from every other zombie haunt on the planet, but would still utilize your original theme.

I'm doing a Zombie Park this year. I'm building some of the props now. I have the swingset just about complete. The Merry go round is next on the list. Still have the slide & monkey bars to build but it's comming along. The park will have a pic-nic area and playground type props. This will all be situated next to the graveyard...

I'm into witches every year - but I have an assortment of decorations and props. I stick to the usual stuff vampires, ghosts, gravestones, and lights - lots of LED lights!

Zombie attack, butcher shop, and camping trip gone bad.

That would be us too. If I changed themes every year I don't know where I would store all the stuff.

Friday The 13th is my theme. Tot's will venture in to camp crystal lake and come face to face will Jason Vorhees himself.
