Thread: Thinking outside the tent

Tweet

While looking for a large tent on ebay I came across this: 10'x30' Party Wedding tent/Canopy/Gazebo Door+Window WH - eBay (item 320393051716 end time Aug-01-09 20:39:58 PDT)

It wasn't what I was looking for but I kept coming back to it for some reason. Then it hit me - this frilly white tent with the pretty windows would make an awesome haunted house. Paint it black or dark grey for a more sinister appearance and those windows will take on a whole new look. Or paint it to look like brick for a castle or dungeon theme. And you can't beat that price, with free shipping. Cheap is always good, which may be one of the reasons I kept looking at it.

If none of those ideas create a spark in your mind for your particular theme, I then recalled seeing this a while back: LEGENDS OF THE ABYSS
They took a trailer haunt that had been made to look like a traditional haunted house and turned it into a pirate ship.

Looking at some of the other products that company sells, I came across their fake facades and that gave me even more ideas. You could paint and accessorize your tent to look like a factory/industrial building, an old west building, a jail or an asylum.

Haunters are well-known for their creativity in coming up with new uses for ordinary things and making stuff on-the-cheap, so I hope this might provide some inspiration for those who could use some. Keep an open mind anytime you look at anything - you might see something that isn't there - yet.

Hey there- if you check out seller "wpic-bestdeal" they sell these tents in black. I bought one for our party (see my photos). Mine is only 10X15 but they do sell them bigger. I think maybe 10x20 is the biggest they have though?? You could email him to see if he has something bigger. We're just using ours for tood tables.

If you painted red and yellow vertical stripes on it, you'd have one heck of a haunted circus set up. )
