Thread: Jurassic Park Haunt

Tweet

So my family used Jurassic Park as a Halloween theme this year for our haunt and while I was to busy scaring kids to get pics last night I did get around today and got a few shots of the best parts of the set.

First thing people got to see was the painted Jeep with an unfortunate Dino victim inside.



While inside there were a few encounters with raptors (or rather raptor puppet heads)



After getting their candy they have to go through the gate of the Raptor Enclosure to get out of the dino infested maze.



Little do they know that a bigger and meaner dino awaits them on the other side.



At the very end there were a couple Dilophosaurus' waiting with one final scare but I didn't get pics last night (as I was one of the Dilophosaurus). I will try to put a pic of one of the masks in my album later on, as well as some better pics of the amazing T-rex head.

The T-rex Head was built by my Mom and older brother and was rigged to move by a couple of our haunt helpers.

The entire haunt had various calls, roars, and hisses of the different dinos, along with a loud alarm playing outside to warn people that the dinos had gotten loose.

People really loved this years haunt, despite the hour long delay before opening and the half hour wait many of them stood. It was cold and rainy but so many stuck it out and they had a blast.

In my album there are more pics of this years haunt. - Halloween Forum - the dogman's Album: Jurassic Park

WOW! I love the T-Rex. How long did it take to create him?
.... I am sure the kids loved it. Thanks so much for sharing! H1

What a cool haunt! I absolutely loved all the prop work you and your family did. IMO gives Universal Studios a run for their money. Everything looked so good. That is some TRex head too. How large was it?

Gotta ask about the Jeep. Did you permanently paint it?

Great haunt idea!

Love the Jeep.

Jeep is permanently painted. Whenever my Lil Bro gets it fixed, it's his to drive. He says he isn't going to change the paint job.

The Rex Head took a month of carving and sculpting out of pink insulation foam. The teeth are thermo plastic, and the a good amount of the skin is made of latex. He wasn't completely done and in place until an hour after Trick or Treating started. He is about 5' long, 3' wide and 3' tall. the jaw does open and close and he has a speaker mounted in his mouth for his growls and roars.

I will let my Mom and my Older Bro know what you think! He certainly brought the whole haunt together.

Wow It looks like fun were did you do you set up ? example your house , empty building etc?

The set up was on the front porch of our house.
We actually have started building platforms off of the porch to extend the haunt, which is where the T-rex and the haunt exit were.
Our haunt has always been at the house on the porch, but if it keeps growing they way it has been it will soon take up the whole yard.

Wow! Fabulous! I love all the effort you put into in. I wish I could have been there!

Amazing job on your haunt! That must have been really creepy to view in the darkness.
