Thread: Finally a few 2008 pics!

Tweet

First I'd like to thank everyone who posted pics of the parties,haunts....Definitely a testiment that Halloween is alive and well!...Finally got a few to post of the props...Our party was a blast...Don't have the rest posted anywhere so there are alot of missing pics like the food trailer, cemetery crochet game,GUESTS,bonfire,etc....I did get the main building props and the wii setup in these few....I used the reverse screen with a bed sheet idea from the Hallowindow thread to keep the wii and pertaining wires locked up from tampering fingers and stumbling feet...Worked wonderfully!...ZR

Holy Cow what a setup!!!! Is all that inside your house? Nice job!!!!

Thanks!....No, It's in a 14 X 32 outdoor building....The nice thing about that is I started setting it up in July!...Next year I'd like to progress into a walk through...ZR

Loved the crypt!
I'd kill for an outdoor building to be able to do that!

MsM

Thanks!...Yeah...The building is an ultimate way to go....It also gives me somewhere to work on the bigger props (when it's NOT Halloween) not to mention all the stinkie stuff we use on props....The wife and I would much rather have that stink out there curing/drying instead of IN where we live....Plus where are you going to store all that stuff?

Looks great!

Step 1 win lottery
Step 2 buy a big venue
Step 3 follow your lead.

A great haunt, well done you must have worked hard for months.

Thanks Terra!....I love your Beloved tombstone BTW!...I think it turned out incredible....I wasn't going to "spill the beans" just yet but I'm working on a voice over soon now that HW is over....I think based on what you have built so far among others on this list, will be particularly interested....I don't want to give away too much just yet but you might want to think really hard about tackling one of those 3 axis skulls ...ZR

HA!...I've had this plan for about 2 years now and play the power ball twice a week!.....I've envisioned about a 100 X 200 X 30 building in the middle of a field so there would be plenty of parking....Step inside and your in a cemetery complete with low lying fog and dead trees with a path leading to a victorian mansion (think Haunted Mansion Paris)....Step inside the front door to a huge ballroom with fireplace on either end and a staircase right up the middle with two doors on either side of the staircase.....This is where the party would be held....This would take up about half of the building....The other half would be the walk through...From the Ballroom, go into the door to the right and exit out the left....Once you've experienced the walk through, you would be allowed up the staircase which actually is a balcony that oversees the entire walk through on the other side from high above allowing you to watch others make their way through.....You could also have IR cameras at "Scare Zones" to capture your guests reactions which you could make a DVD of including all the pictures of the evening for them to enjoy after the event....Nah, I haven't put much thought about what I'd do if I won........ZR

Thanks Mark!....I really enjoyed your show....Too bad you had so many problems in the beginning but I think everyone has to do trial and error to accomplish most projects we tackle...The great thing is you have something that is unique in the end...ZR
