Thread: brick house

Tweet

Last summer I inherited old supplies from Menards when they used to do their haunted house. In the mix of "toys" I got were several brick panels. I have been racking my brain since last summer what I can do with these. I have about 8 if I remember right. I could be wrong on that number.
I have decided on one of two rooms with this.
The typical Frankenstein room or
The tool box room, with a sadistic tool man coming at the patrons with all kind of electic/battery charged tools. In this room I want to get or make a sign from Lowes with the slogan "Let's build something together" What do you all think, good bad or ugly. If you have other suggestions by all means, do elaborate.
Thanks

You have a theme or is just a mish-mash of horror?

Which was sold brick by brick? (I heard that once)
You know , the St. Valentines Day Massacure, machine gun bullet holes in the wall and you're done!
Maybe have some fake, home made old posters on the wall advertising car parts. You could mount a real loud car horn right behind the wall, behind the car poster, cut a hole for the horn speaker but hide it with the poster.

Brilliant.

That's one of the best ideas I've seen in ages! I'm partial to that era.... still that is one original concept!

to answer this question. No I really don't have a theme or a ryme or reason.
I have a single car garage that we make into a haunted house. We maze it out, and we do different rooms if you will, where every room lurks something to scare you.

Make a wall out of your brick pannels. On the panel in the middle, cut 20-30 bricks out in order to make it look like it's being constructed. Glue up some 3-d brick out of those you have cut out. Make a dummy head and torso using a terrified person mask. Place duct tape across the mouth and place this dummy behind the brick wall, but showing where the bricks are cut out.

Make another dummy with a bucket of mortar holding a 3-D brick and a trowel. Make him look crazy or just happy.
