Thread: What Is Your 2012 Haunt Theme?

Tweet

Mayan Apocalypse? End of the World As We Know It? Pirates? Zombies? Clowns? Haunted Mansion? Inquiring minds want to know!

Mine is "Frozen with Fear" it is a haunt with snow trolls and the main monster is a Yeti.

Allen, that sounds like an awesome theme!

We are back to the first of the three yearly rotating themes: Vampyr Reign (2009 and now 2012). This features the vampyr Terra set in a post-apocalyptic world:




The other two themes are Zombie Apocalypse (2010 then 2013) and Force of Darkness (2011 then 2014). The one unifying element (thus less decor building) is that they are set in a post-apocalyptic world.

Allen H, what a creative theme! I always enjoy seeing what others do but will be watching for pictures of yours with special interest.

I'm doing a body farm with a supernatural twist. For example, my blood spatter technician will be a vampire. As much as I can, the corpses will have died from werewolf maulings, zombie attacks, etc. There will also be an open-air forensics lab attached to the farm. Not entirely sure how I'm going to portray everything I have in my head but the mental gymnastics should be fun.

Haunted mansion for me.

I have come up with the scariest haunt theme I can imagine this year. My theme is "6 month old Twins and a Mortgage" HAHAHA

In all seriousness I will put together a classic cemetary and the "Soul Patch" pumpkin patch with a twist this year. After 4 years Jack Skellington will be taking a rest this season and the Peanuts Gang will be added to create The Great Pumpkin Scene.

Ours is an Insane asylum theme. Haven't come up with a name yet. There will be patient rooms and an elevator to take people to the basement scenes, then the other rooms of the asylum. It's coming along great!
I'll post a video of the elevator, soon, in the prop section.

Zombies will be my theme this year. I am quickly finding out that changing the theme each year is really making me have way to much stuff. I am learning how to re-purpose items to adapt to different themes using costuming and accessories. I really want to do a frozen room this year.

I rotate between five themes. Maze of the Minotaur (greek mythical monsters) -Frozen with fear (Yeti and snow monsters)-Silver screen screams (whole show is black and white-like a classic horror movie Frankenstien, wolfman, Dracula and all classic monsters) - Infestation (bugs, giant scary bugs) - Realm of the beast (the most open theme last year was werewolves in a germanic forest).

I will also be doing a frozen for the first time. I hope the ideas I have will bring it to the top.
