Thread: Garage Haunt

Tweet

In a week i'll be moving into my first home, following my sister and her boyfriend moving into as well. We will be having a garage and a pretty decent size driveway. I'ms so excitied to get started on this years haunted house because it's my OWN home haha, with a garage to place my haunt in. The question I have is...if you do your haunt in your driveway or garage PLEASE send over some pictures. I need some ideas! Thanks!

the inside of our 1 car garage. We use this as the reaper's lair, where the candy is handed out.



This is a castle door/wall we have going across the driveway. We have them line up here and set the stage with a brief story. We've added hanging flame pots to the wall for extra ambience. We then have various scenes/scares along the driveway as they make their way to the garage.

It's become a tradition and now every year I do a garage scene. In 2005 I did a scene that was the bedroom from the exorcist. Thunder and lightning sound effects tied into a lightning machine to dim the lights with the cracks of thunder. Had a fan blowing the drapes through a false bedroom window. Can't seem to find my pics for it though.

For 2006 I did a mad doctor scene with my wife as the nurse. I had my nephew laying on the "table" with his guts hanging out as we chopped him up, still alive of course.



Then last year 2007 I did a scene with elements from "The Ring". Hooked up a fog vortex effect with black light and strobe effects. Also tied my PC in for some well placed sound effects. Enjoy.

Makes me wish I had a garage!!

Yeah we do a walk in maze every year in our garage along with a movie night as well. One year we use the back door and had them circle from the sideyard into the back door and tunnel out the front. Our garage is huge 22'x28' 2 1/2 car one with a nice 3' bump out along the back, yeah lots of work to set up but worth it to control the fogger lights and sounds along with weather not effecting anything. Wife hates parking in the drive that week but the show must go on....lol !

check out the pics in the link on my sig line

I've posted some pictures on my website from 2006 Halloween. I haven't gotten around to adding last years. But I also have a sketch as to how the maze was done for the Pirate Haunt. The maze in 2007 was pretty much the same except it was a Haunted Forest and we added one of the big inflatable castles to the entrance of the garage. So you went it the front of the castle, then into the garage and back out through the side of the castle.

Sounds like what we do as in my pics in my first post, the big airblown is a great long distance attention getter.....enter the airblown house first then into the garage. Hey Mareen to you have 2007 pics of the airblown castle and is it the same one that was sold at Sams club ? I would love to see some of those pics. We also went with a Pirate theme last year with my Gemmy Dead Eye Drake prop ( as seen in one my pics in my first post) along with a great pirate flag I found at K-mart last year.
