Being out of place will just add to the atmosphere.

Big interactive walk-thru, but that's gotten out of control, too much effort. Plus, it's so loud, so scary, that the smaller kids are too intimidated to come up the driveway. That was never the intent. Next year, and in ensuing years, we will be a display only. Music, fog, lighting, one or two animatronics.

We do quite a large walk thru. It starts at one side of the front with display and then goes all around the house and out on the other side. This year we had a spinning vortex tunnel, that works perfectly, dot room ,clown room another graveyard and morgue in the back yard and up the other side of the house we had a 'girl' room ,mummy room, dracula, devil and witch rooms and then a lab, alien room and lastly a torture chamber. we had usually 2 actors in each room or area. and in the back yard we had 4 people hiding around and scaring people as they passed. Those turned out to be the best scares I think. People did appreciate the work and detail that went into the display rooms tho.

i will try to get the other vids up or on, puter dunce here!

This year mine was a cross of display and walk through. I made a fence out of pallets to entice people to get a closer look. There are some sensor props. Next year I might dress up and sit with my other sitting guys. Eventually I would like to get bigger, but not sure if the wife would allow it .
There are pics on my profile.

Display only. Was always worried about the liability issues with a walk through.
