Thread: what to do what to do

OK.. so i have an awesome entrance, awesome front porch and awesome scary haunted walkway exit route down to the garage and out the gate... WHAT do i do with the front porch??? im thinking of putting up a bunch of long mirrors, black lights, and black garbage bag the whole porch in as a room.... ???

Dot room?

Or just a crazy blacklight everything glowing area.

How about a skeleton behind bars. Looks like you have room to hide someone behind a curtain. They could animate a skeleton???? Or even have a dungeon room.

How about a stage type scene, or glassed in looking area with a bunch of the classic monsters up there? That would take some work but would look very cool. Another idea would be maybe an entire witch type scene, like a swamp witch type scene. A few witch's and fog and green lights, have a bunch of like spanish moss and vines hanging all over.

you have great set up with the fence id make a low light type deal with a couple of fog chillers cause it looks like your yard will hold the fog really well. throw up some dim green, and red lights with a black light or two and really it would be scary with out a whole lot of work. if you have a helper you could put them under that outset window with a fog chiller near them and have them reach out randomly at kids that would really scare'em

What's your theme? Do you have a cemetery in the front? High-gore? Cutesy-scary?

These things would factor in to what would transform your haunt. If you tie the different areas together, the tot's will be immersed in your setting.

oh i love ALL those ideas... i really dont do a theme.. i have TONS of decorations and so.. i use them all... last year i had my tunnel, which was a huge rolled up roll of fencing.. worked perfect, strung lights through it and hid monsters at the start and end.. scared the crap out of people when the monsters screamed.. HAHA..

my porch is awesome and yes has SO much potential... im big with making rooms with garbage bags LOL... plus the sound when the wind whips them...

the walkway is awesome and by halloween, all the catalpa leaves and beans will be all over so it will be weird to walk on and crunchy!!!!

my bay windows i figure ill put some monsters in with lights...

oh and i have these awesome silicone heads that will become something gruesome and dead!!!!!

I would use tarp instead of black plastic. It is stronger. It is what we used on my porch. It can be painted on both sides as well.

OHHH thats a great idea and then i could use black light paint... ok now ill be on the search for a tarp... my dads gone.. think he would notice if i raid the shop??

I dont know about you but I know your home is screaming for a nice walkthru! There is so many great things that could be done here! I would make the porch into any room of choice making TOT's go inside for the candy while somebody hides inside a corner for unsuspecting victims.. Lol! Good luck to ya!
