Thread: What is the name of your Yard Haunt

Tweet

What is the name people have for their Yard haunts? The name and a breif explanation would be good since I am looking for inspiration for my own.

The front of the house because it's not the back.

Actually I hadn't gotten far enough to hanging any kind of sign to label mine.

Eerie Manor.

I live in Erie, PA. so just a play on the name of the city.

Ours is Edgewood Haunt. Edgewood is the street name and it sounds kinda spooky for halloween.

It's like being on the edge of your seat if your five.

"Jack's Holiday Nightmare"

We have a Nightmare Before Christmas theme, so it fits it perfectly.

Mill Creek Haunted Hollow

Well, "Mill Creek" because that's where we live. I like the name because it has that relaxed, back woods cadence, like "Sleepy Hollow" or "Harper's Island".

And the "Haunted Hollow" part came from the fact that we live at the end of a cul-de-sac which is at the end of a downhill bend in the road. It really gives the home a hidden feel.

Thanks for the topic. I have yet to pick a name for mine but keep feeling like I should. I like the idea of making a sign with the name on it to help set it apart from other yard haunts in the neighborhood. I like the names above. They all seem fitting.

So here's another question for you all: Do you stick with this name year after year or does anyone choose a name based on each year's theme if you operate your haunt in that fashion?

BTW TK421 I still can't get over that tower you added to the roof. It really came out great.

Okay, admittedly uninventive. We live on Eddy Way.



I was in a time crunch to build the sign in the last days leading up to the big day this year. I panicked and just started routing the obvious. Now the sign is too cool to change. It has a red flicker light inside so it appears to be illuminated by fire.

I have the same name year after year. I've been using the same name for the past three or four years -- at least. This past year, I finally built a sign and posted it in the front yard.



Thanks for the compliment regarding the tower. I had a lot of fun building it and I only hope it survives the wind so I can use it again next year.

TK421 do you have any night shots? Would love to see your lighting set-up.

Edit: Ah nevermind I got un-lazy and went to your album. LOL
