Thread: Texas Haunts

Tweet

Seems like the majority of participants on this site are from either the Northeast or East Coast. I feel kind of like the sole survivor. Anybody else out there from Texas?

Howdy!

There are plenty of Texas haunters on here. I even think several regulars are in your area.

Me I dont really do a haunt but I love Halloween and throwing a party every year!

Glad to hear it! This is one reason why this site is so great. It allows you to locate other Halloween enthusiasts in your area who are familiar with the difficulties in building a haunt in Texas due to the unpredictable weather and offer helpful suggestions. As you know, it's not unusal to have temperatures in the 90's during October, which makes working a haunt in costume somewhat uncomfortable. I remember one year we actually had to use portable fans in the haunt to keep the air moving, and the very next year the temperature was in the 50's for Halloween! No that it ever stops us for moving forward with our plans for the TOTs.

I dont do a real haunt as I live in an apartment...just some static stuff and quick walk through for the kids..but I'm in Texas! And I hear ya about the weather....my biggest battle last year was the darned mosquitos!

from Arlington TX. I don't actually do a haunt but i am "that house" on the block that goes all out and i am having my first party this year so i am very excited. do hope the weather is nice cause i am planning on using the back yard for space!

fellow texas haunters! i, too, am 'that house' on the block. & i throw one heck of a party. as my children grow a bit older i will get back to the walk thru haunt. i just don't have the time to do one while chasing babies. i am on joe pool lake in south grand prairie. would love to be able to visit some fellow haunters neighborhoods!

I know what you mean about the mosquitoes. Do they ever really go away? I'm in the North Dallas area near 635. Not too many people decorate in my area, other than maybe a jackolantern or two, so it's probably not surprising that our house gets a lot of TOTs. We definitely go all out.

Zombiefrac, do you get many TOTs in your area? We've been camping out there, and it seemed pretty rural.

Well if y'all want we'll let you into Oklahoma... but just for Halloween. LOL
