Thread: new haunt idea

Tweet

okay, i've decided what i want for my haunt next year. i want to do a Christmas theme. i don't want the grinch or the nightmare before christmas [although i love both those shows]. what i want is a family like the adams family or the munsters family celebrating a kooky halloweeny style christmas. i need a name for my family and a dress for the main character. remember morticia and lilliun both had their trademark dress. and i'm going to have a mad scientists lab. like grandpa on the munsters had a lab. i've picked up 2 childrens books on the human body. i thought it would be fun to put them on a medical books shelf.

so any suggestions for
1. a haunt name
2. a name replacing lilliun and morticia
3. a name replacing herman or gomez
4. a name replacing gramps and mamaw
5. a character replacing uncle festor
6. a character replacing it
7. a girl and boys name
8. ideas for a pet
9. and a trademark dress
or any idea that would work for this theme.

Of the mansion have it set in a double wide trailer in the woods at the edge of a sanitary landfill.
There is no basement but the drain field lines plugged years ago from the septic tank, it all dried out and now that is the basement.
The family pet could be a skunk in a small cage made to wear a raccoon hide (so he can pretend to not be a skunk)
No money for nursing care so Grandpa needs diapers, no money for such frivoulous things, so he is perminently standing in a 55 gal. steel drum full of a mixture of water, alcohol, that's his "diaper".
Little "Sis" has a living necklace for her jewlery, mice hanging from their tails on a dog collar around her neck. The mice are sleepy, most of the time, no problem.
The Father is only seen as a pair of legs and feet sticking out from under the end of the trailer, he seems to be working on the electrical system now for a real long time. "What is that smell?"
"Wasn't he wearing white socks when he crawled under there last week, now they look brown."
Ma is staring at the 11 inch screen portable Tv on the breakfast nook, waiting for her "story" to come on. She is watching the Snakes Network. No electrical Thing-a-mabobbs in this TV, Jr. gutted it years ago and he made into a glass cage for his snakes. But Ma's still waiting, watching.

gym, i really like some of your ideas. i have a skunk that has eyes that light up that would work in a cage. and i love the living necklace. if i can find some animated mice, that would be cool. thanks for your input. any name suggestions?

Don't forget to have a black X-mas tree.

I like the green Christmas tree covered in orange lights and spiders. I think a black tree would also look awesome. For a pet I like a buzzard or owl.

after christmas and at garage sales i pick up cheap christmas trees. i have several different colors. i have a green tree and i think a green tree with orange lights and spiders sounds pretty and creepy. i have a black christmas tree. so what are your suggestions for it's decor?
skunk, mice, buzzards, and owls. i'm feeling it. loving the ideas.

How about putting eyeballs, a heart, or other body parts in the tree?

Meet the Kadavins. (a cross between the Kardashians and the word "Cadaver") They live in Rottingham. The mistress of the house could go by something like "Maggie". Her hubby: "Morten". Children: Stilla and Riggie.. lol Just some silly name ideas off the top of my head.. You never know what might spark another idea! Let me know if thsi is the kind of thing your looking for.

kymmm, absolutly what i'm looking for. guess i don't know who the kardashians are. but will play with the cadavers. like that. t-town, body parts on a black tree sounds good. 2 eyeballs, heart, 2 ears, tongue, brain, teeth, nose, an arm and a leg. oh, how about gray hair instead of strands of tinsel.

Oh! The dress would look great if it were similar to the floor legnth dresses that Morticia and Lilly wore but in a deep burgundy.
