Thread: 2010 walk through

Hello All,

I have a 3 min video of the haunt, just after setup and before sunset (which, unfortunately were too close together).

Also, I've redone my website in WordPress, so If you have any comments on please fire away.

Your stuff is so awsome!!

Great job! I like all your various props, but specifically the gargoyle. Any tips on that??

By gargoyle, do you mean the winged demon dude-thing?

There's a how-to at: http://legacyofhorror.org/?page_id=213

Yep, that is what I meant! Not sure how I got gargoyle out of that, but thanks for posting the how-to. Great work here!

Very nice!! You have a lot of great props! I would love to do a walk through next year. How long does it take you to set up?

Thank you to everyone for the kind words

11 months, 3 weeks and 6 days

Setup starts first weekend of October (fence, lights, things on the roof).
Small pieces go out as I find/unpack them. The interior of the garage is worked on for 2-3 weeks.
Last week of October the tombstones go out.
Finally on the 29 or 30th we have sneak peeks. This year we had 2 local schools stop by for a daytime treat.
The 31st is utter madness.

It's all down and packed in a day & a half. Both cars back in the garage.

Very cool haunt! Just a small tip- that popup zombie spirit prop you have in the grass works best if you screw the front and back feet to wood. I used a 2'x2' thin piece of plywood. They have them precut at home depot for subflooring. It only takes two small screws and it will never tip or fall. Worked like a charm all night for me. Your setup is really great. Wonderful to hear so many came out to support you. That's all we want for our efforts- for many to show up.

Wow! It's stuff like this that gives me more to shoot for! I get so caught up in fabrication, I don't have much time to "fill" in dead areas (no pun intended!) LOL! Great job!

Thanks for the tip. The damn thing toppled over during filming. Had to repair it after I finished the segment.
I used some river rocks in a pinch
