Thread: Need Help finding a new route for halloween 08

Tweet

I am having a hard time getting into halloween this year; last year was a huge success; 450 tots, parents, friends, passerbys, and halloween enthusiasts on halloween night. I always try to exceed the prior year, and change it up. Any suggestions on how i can change my route for this year?

What i have to work with: 2 car garage, entire full length driveway that i tent in, and side of the garage in the yard. I would not be oppose to venturing into the backyard. any suggestions are very much appreciated. I have attached the route from last year,.

Thank you in andvance for any and all suggestions.

Seems like you have a pretty cool template there from last year. I like the whole idea of having a cemetery within the haunts route. I have no idea what kind of props you have and what is your boundries when it comes to props so I can't really help you yet. So just post some vague details about some props you own and I think I mite be able to help ya out.

Try doing a different theme in each room. Like I said before I don't know what you have but here are some ideas:

Asylum-My favorite, Works out easily. Make it simple by adding an old fashioned tv with just fuzz. Use red lights to set the scene, Set up an actor in a straight jacket
Clown-Add different color dots on white walls (Blood my be cool too =) ) Hang swim noodles from celing.
Butcher-Hang body parts from ceiling. Have some old tools on a bloody table (ex. Chain saw, drills, etc) Put a character with apron and chainsaw or butchers knife. Also a good idea is to make a prop with a trash can that has body parts sticking out of it.

There are so many more options. I just hope this gets you started.

GOOD LUCK! =)

very similar to my haunt, except not as long. but similar route. why dont you reverse the route and change up the themes?

started walking down a dark unlite hallway with a drop panel at the end.
veer right towards the 6' spider web and large animated spider
turn left walk thru door and see half person coming out of the wall
continue staright and you see a static 8' guolitine, 2 static bodies, cemetary, 2 actors and a stirring which

enter the garage and see a prisoner to the right, and a wind shield wiper motor electric chair with fog and strobe light

go thru door to the doctor scene, actor as doctor with kicking leggs, body parts and drill as prop for doctor. and strobe

walk down a long unlite hallway with teeter boards and strings hanging from the ceiling

turn left down another dark hallway and you haave drop down donna
