Thread: Haunted Hay Ride IDEAS!!!

Tweet

Every year we put on a haunted hayride for our customers at our nursery and garden center, we have several acres and take the customers through the property. We currently have a story that we use, which consists of a mad doctor who buried his patients on the property years ago. We need some new ideas to make our hayride better, we currently have a spider that we drop from the trees, our guys use chainsaws with the blades removed to chase after the hayride, and we make a graveyard which the guys pop out of. We dont have too much money to spend but we are open to an ideas. Thanks in advance!

Where are you located? (hopefully close would love to help) But how about tree monsters? witches area in a wooded area, swamp monster, Saw mill

We are located in Connecticut in lower Fairfield County. We do go through alot of wooden areas.

a few things that might work: off in the woods have a long pc of fabric ( sheer ) & project people dressed in white & grey on a black background walking round have it go on every now & then, they could be the buried sould roaming the earth. I 've also seen stand alone people made out of chicken wire, their rough shape look like ghost when a flash light quickly goes by. Here & there glowing eyes peeking out maybe someone fallowing the customers in the woods with th glowing eyes. I'll try & find examples of what I'm talking about & give props to those who created them.

Here ya go, this is the one stand alone chicken wire ghost by Maxy on Hountproject.com It can be found on the Right under Top 10 links visited. Hope it helps.

Do an Evil Dead theme! Speakers in the wood, screaming and moaning, having actors walking around, reaching for the people. Someone as Ash fighting people in the background. Tree branches trying to kill people, and so on.

That chicken wire person is AWESOME, BooBoo, and I can totally see how that would look like a ghost in the woods with diffused lighting.

Emmie, I'm not sure I understood if you are looking for new ideas or if you are looking for ideas to expand your psycho doctor theme. If you are looking for brand new ideas, what about having a headless horseman chase the haywagon for a ways. If you want ideas for the doctor theme, having some nurse-like figures (think Silent Hill) with no face features. Also, some cannibal looking creatures going through barrels and boxes marked as "hospital waste" and pulling out arms, legs, hearts, or other body parts could be good.

I was hoping for some new ways to expand on our mad doctor theme, one difficulty is that we have our hayride during the day. Also we only currently have men to use as "actors." We also do not have as many trees for our guys to hide behind which is one of the reasons I need some new ideas. If anyone can think of anything let me know and thanks for the suggestions so far!
