    The one thing I think we learned was we need to start in May =)

    Most of the haunt was controlled using DMX, with a nerve center throwed in at the far corner.

    agreed, very cool collection. You said that you needed to start earlier, how long did it take you to put all that together??

    Looks great. I find it funny that you said you should have started earlier. I had the same issue. I tried to tell my hubby that we needed to start discussing Halloween back in June and he would hear of it. Then in September when I finally got him to start planning he announced that we should have started months ago. All I could say was "You think?" This next year Halloween planning for 2012 begins Nov 1st 2011.
    When Hallows Eve draws close once more
    And terror rides the wind
    The Ravenfells shall waken
    And stalk their lands again.

    We decided to try this at about the end of august. Built the Control Box the last week or 2 of September and then we built all the props at night for the last 2 weeks.

    Nice! I really like the leg movements in the electric chair
