Thread: 2 car garage haunts

Tweet

OK, this year I'm gonna try to do a haunt in my 2 car garage. I've always just done a set up in the yard. I will extend the front of the garage out about 6-8 feet with wood that I got for free (ca-ching).

My question is: For those of you that do a garage haunt, how much do you actually squeeze in there? If you have a drawing, maybe that will help me visualize mine. It's hard to do too much outside because I live in the Pacific Northwest, which notoriously has bad weather that time of the year.

Since day one i have always incorporated my garage into my haunt. We are in a new home this year and we still have the same sized garage as the last place......1 car sized. I wish it was bigger but....c'est la vie huh? Because of all the junk and work tools in the garage i usually only use about 1/3 of the space in my garage (because i have to cram everything back) i usually throw a black curtain up to separate everything....oh well, next house...2 CAR GARAGE!!!!

I started doing a garage haunt a couple years ago. Right now I have one side that has the life size stuff on it. I made a floor using fence slats so it would add to the look and poured blood all over it. The other side is a graveyard, it takes me about 8 bags of topsoil to fill it in. I bought bricks and lined the sides with them and put lights so people wouldn't step where they weren't supposed to. Here are some pics.

The right side:










He's in the front yard. I used 7 bages of topsoil to create a raised grave

Good luck!!

I use my two car garage...really it is amazing how much you can fit in the space. I don't have a drawing, but I will try to explain.
Enter through the service door of the garage and the first thing that is seen to the right is the front of a run down house. They enter through the door of the run down house into a witches room. (This room run from front to back, the lenght of the right side of the garage with the exception of approx. 7' at the front of the garage)
Next is the hallway of Ghost. (This runs across the back side of the garage) They turn the corner into the Jungle area. (This is approx. 3-4' long down the left side of the garage) They come to a small cave 3-4' long (also down the left side of the garage). The next thing they see are the Gates to Hell. After they go through the gates they turn back towards the center of the garage and as they walk through hell. Next they come to the Bone Meal Bakery (this is at the center of the garage and approx. 2/3 of the way back from the front) after the bakery they turn and go down through the hallway of swinging swords. (now you are at the front of the garage again) then there is a short area back towards the service door, which is the chain room and dungeon area as they exit.

There is no way I would let strangers into my garage. Talk about anxiety attacks, JEEZ.

That's where I keep my tools. -- No way.

We're also in the PNW and probably actually really close to where you are. With careful placement and a little luck we've survived the wonderful weather without trashing our props and stuff.

I am doing a werewolf breeding dungeon by a mad doctor/scientist. Ive been putting tape down w/ x's and naming what goes where.

and Hello my fellow Washatonion!

Thank you, apprciate the compliment.

I haunt our 2 car garage. We only started doing it last year, and we already have so many improvements worked into this years design. No big changes, just little tweaks that will make everything work better. The front yard is getting the major overhaul this year. I'll post some pics below of last years garage haunt, but I have more in my profile. Feel free to check them out.

Wow! Great set-up, Aero4!!
I love the "RAP" tombstone! LOL
