Thread: Theme idea for 2012 Yay or Nay

Tweet

I was thinking about doing Xiabalba, or the Maya underworld, because the Maya predicted that this era of the world would end in 2012. I had it all planned out. I was going to put up a giant pyramid in the backyard. I wanted swamps and forests (tropical) around it. Then my Mom pointed out that it might snow. So now I ditched the pyramid idea and I think it will be it in the garage. It likely will have running water too, but it will be manageable.

Any ideas.

I don't know anything about it, but sounds like a fun theme to work with. I think you'd have to explain the theme to a lot of people. Maybe the invitation could do that.

Dude if you can pull it off that would be awsome. I'm seeing the garage as the inside of the Mayan temple with dismembered bodys and blood splasned on the walls. I say run with it.

Amazing Idea. The Mayan architecture lends perfect to Halloween.

I spent 4 months exploring Mexico in a van half my life ago visiting as many ruinas as I could find. Palenque was my favorite. The capstone of Pacal Al Rey is amazing. It really does look like a man in a spaceship staring through a persicope. Especially when you see it in person. The sheer size of the thing is humongous.




Their skulls and reptile faces are pure evil and would make a good addition even of you were not trying to make a Mayan theme. (AKA reusable)

Wonderful idea. So original. There's a lot of good material out there to google now that the 2012 theory is out. Keep us apprised of your progress and, Oh yes, lots of pictures.

I actually got the idea fom the thirteenth gate in baton rouge. They use it as one of thier gates.

My theme for 2012 is 'It's the End of the World as We Know It!'

I'm thinking of having the opening being a maya person praying to an anamatronic god, the scare coming from a snake behind them lunging towards them. Then, the spiked ceiling room, opening in to a cave with no roof, like a small valley, then leading to a large waterfall. I want to make the path go behind the waterfall, then curve arount and follow the stream into a cave.

Oh, and did I mention that there's a lot more currently developing.
