Thread: looking for help with home haunt!!!

Tweet

Hi and Welcome.

My advice is to take one idea or room at a time and when you are somewhat finished or satisfied with that move to the next. I find that when I have ten ideas in my head they all get frustrating and don't turn out as good as when I focus on one theme.

Also check and see if your "local" Salvation Army has 5 for 5 Fridays. Mine has been having those recently and I loaded up on suits, shirts, pants you name it! They have all clothing with this deal except for the wedding dresses (trust me I asked at 3 different stores). This is the best deal I have found to dress my zombies and I don't feel too bad about shredding a dollar suit.

Have you thought about how you are going to build your structure yet? This is my biggest problem every year. I want these big ideas to come to life but don't have the proper setting or structure to house them. It becomes a mad scramble to make it work and I get overwhelmed. Then the scene isn't what I expected or I give up all together on that idea when I have already made the props. Time wasted!

You just need to remember that whatever you do for your haunt people will be happy to come and see your efforts. Word of mouth gets out fast! Some will laugh and some will cry but it makes you truly happy when someone appreciates all your effort.

Good luck and keep us posted!

thanks alot beggers alley! im looking for clothes for the zombie in my video. I definitly will feel overwheelmed but ill be starting early spetember to give me a good time frame because come october 22 and its the chicken run of my halloween haunt. im going to be using a basic tent cover with poles for my wholee yard and put plack plastic around the whole yard frame...
then go into the paaage ways and rooms..its a small haunt only 40 by 20 but its able to be workable plus when people are scared they walk slow it could be 5 to 10 minutes befir they come out of the loop...

IF THEY DO COME OUT HAHHA!

anyways illl keep everyone posted!
