Is anyone doing an Egyptian theme this year?

No, but that could make for a great theme choice, I think

I am continuing my theme from last year and am improving it.

Here is a link to my ideas album, stuff I wanna incorporate/build- http://www.halloweenforum.com/member...-pictures.html

And here is pics to my haunt pics, you can see what I have setup in last years garage haunt

I bought large rubber scorpions from target awhile ago for $1 each to add into the scene, some .80c gold tablecloths for the floor(looks like sand),I want to re-do the burial platform so it looks like the traditional table with the tails coming up and redo my female corpse body.

I bought last year from michaels the little mummy kid that does the thriller dance and my mom bought me a creepy childs mummy costume so I added that to it. So All anyone will see is the movement of the creepy mummy kid. Oh and when he moves his chest will light up, I love secondary movements/reaction lights!

My aunt also got me some more Egyptian pictures or something so I have to see what they are but my mom says they will look good in the scene. Ill update when I get those from her.

Kittyvibe, I love the pic of the Zoltan.

I am really interested in how you use the pictures. I found a large framed Egyptian picture that keeps haunting me. It is just screaming to be used, but I don't know how.


I see you have a mask on your guy, but can't tell if it is the same as this one I found last year. It is a rubber mask, but I think it looks pretty wicked.

It is still listed on a store in ebay.

Hehe, Zultan is pretty cool. His curtains are more finnicky though, sometimes they open all the way sometimes only half, ...sigh

I dont know what the pictures look like but I will add them to my album once I get them. Can you post a pic of yours, maybe we can help brainstorm with you.

My masked guy is the bloody doctor from Big Lots awhile back and I used a large childs size costume on him. The mask is just a front face only plastic with elastic band. Its called Egyptian Warrior. The last link I thin khas a big picture of the whole costume, very clear details you can see. My skeletons eyes light up and change color but I didnt have it turned on for the pics, he looked so cool.

And heres some ebay links, one has it to buy as low as $5;

We did an Egyptian theme a few years ago and used pictures as a 'distract them here and scare them there'. They went past a simple picture and then stopped at the next one that was more complex (hieroglyphics that spelled "look back"). My husband made a drop down window as a frame for the simple one and when they were distracted at the next one the window dropped and we had someone reach out and scare them. How interactive do you plan this to be? Will you lead people through it or will they go on their own?

Saw this in a catalog today: http://www.thelibrarystore.com/produ...86383&id=87509

Not really scary but for just $9 it's a cheap easy way to help continue your theme. You could build a sarcophagus out of wood or foam and glue or tape this on the front. Or just stick a couple on the wallls next to the entrance.

Wow, screaming demons, that is fantastic. The poster is 5 1/2 feet tall! Thanks!

I made a mummy, but doubt I'll use him

We've been working on it for several months now, and I finally feel like it's coming together. We are going to have a 20 ft pyramid over the pool, faux brick on the outside, hierogphics on the inside. This is what the frame looks like so far.
