Thread: Home Haunters Must Have

Tweet

Just wondering what's the one thing that every home haunter must have.
I say flood lights. They make a great erie effect.

What's yours?

duct tape, lots of it!

Those are all good answers -- and they're all true!

I don't know if there's any one "must have" item for Halloween. A lot depends on what kind of haunt you are hoping to put on and what type of theme you may have. Also, it depends on your level of involvement. Some people are find with store-bought merch that they set up around their front lawn. Others spend months and months building detailed props.

If you're a builder, I say you can never have too many tools. Drills, Skillsaw, Jigsaw, Tablesaw, Mitersaw, Drill Press, Sanders, Paint Sprayer, and lots and lots of material and paint.

If you're talking about the "must haves" for a good set-up, I'd agree flood lights are up at the top of the list. Even if you don't have any props, some good eerie lighting can really set the mood. In addition to flood lights, I say some sort of beacon (so people know where you are) is a good idea. Beyond that, lightning effects are always fun, and a good LOR set-up can't hurt, either.

hot glue...can't live without it

I'll go with "props". What do I win, Mr. Trebek?

Beer- meny haunting projects start with a drink and think session.

Let's refresh this, besides the obvious ones what's a must have building tool?

Extention Cords are also great to have. You can never have enough of them.

The point of this thread is to create a list everyone can go off of just incase they are missing something.
