Haunt 101 Checklist

**Zeltino** · 10-29-2009,04:12 PM

Hey all,

I recently compiled a general "Haunt 101" Checklist/guideline/tip page on my website. I was wondering what you guys thought, what I should add, remove, etc.

I'm planning on adding pictures (Hopefully JohnnyL's, but he hasn't gotten back to me) to each section as additional examples.

The Hauntary: Haunt 101 How-To

What do you guys and gals think? I'm trying to put together something that will be a good guide for beginners, as well as a good checklist for us Haunters who've been around for a while and seem to misplace our brains once in a while.

It's 2 days before the big night... most of the forum is frantically working on their displays and costumes.

I like what you have - you're hitting the points that most folks would need to know starting out... and it's very clearly written.

Only thing I'd add is a bit about blacklight usage: difference between real florescent UV blacklights and those cheap crappy dangerous bulbs, (and the long tubes are always going to be be brighter and better than the compact florescents, but the compacts have their usage) never arranging a true blacklight where a person can stare into it (doesn't trigger the iris contraction in the eyes, so can cause blindness much like staring into the sun) and getting the most bang for your buck with blacklights - things that glow, etc...

Great list! Maybe a little "last minute stuff" section too.

You're more than welcome to use my photos. Not sure where you tried to contact me?
