Thread: Name for my haunted house!

Tweet

As you can see I LOVE the name 'Reign of Terror'. I contacted the haunted house in CA and asked if I could use it but of course they said that they would appriciate it if i didn't. Now that I think about it I would like to have my own uniqe hauted house name. I really need Ideas. Ive been looking it up on line and thinking for days but can't come up with anything I really like.

Thanks

Is this for your home haunt? Do you do a particular theme?

It's for my home haunt and every year I have a different theme. I just want a name that can go with any theme

Well, without knowing a theme, just generating alternatives to haunted and house separately:
Haunted -
Ghostly, Ghoulish, Horror, Scary, Fiendish, Evil, Spirit, fright, possess, terrify, torment, trouble, spooky, infest, and dwell.
House - mansion, abode, home, apartment, condo, digs, habitat, flat, lean-to, shack, box, roost, pigpen, crib, cubbyhole, den, dump, joint, and residence.
When I wanted to come up with a name for my miniature Halloween village I just started thinking of scary words and then paired up words that meant city or town and came up with Shudder Valley. I love brainstorming stuff. : )

Oh, what about undead manor? Nefarious Park? Wicked Place?

Best way to name a home haunt is by looking at your family name, your street or town name, or something else personal to you and your haunt.

I don't have a named haunt, but if I did, I'd probably use my street name: Savile... and the fact that I do a graveyard (cemetery) and call it something like "So Vile Cemetery" or something like that...

So any ideas using any of those place names?

Also, it's really helpful to go to http://thesaurus.com/ to look up things like "scary" and get similar words that might work with your theme. Sort of like what boobear was doing; you can look up quite a few and get a huge amount of options that way.

Mine is Haven Haunt because I live on Haven Circle. I love the contradiction of names. LOL

well, i just have a display, and certainly its not name worthy, but if i were to give it a name it would be 'holding horror' because i live on holding young rd.... LOL

i do like the idea of working your street name in somehow when its possible.

Yes, Yes--- a connection with your street name or neighborhood would be perfect.

Action words are fun too! As Boobear mentioned, a creepy word along with what you're doing is a good jumping off point for awesome names.

You're in Washington...so obviusly it should be:

Rain of Terror
