Thread: Haunted House Ideas

Tweet

Ok....so im doing this Haunted House and the theme of the house is a PhobiaHouse.....the first part is an insane asylum and the rest of the house is peoples phobias.....but what i need is some room ideas and some easy to make scary props....like bloody parts and all that......and anything that goes with the theme of the house......i really need help! Please give me some ideas!!

I'm sure you already are, but just browsing the prop section of HF will give you more great ideas than you'll be able to build in one year.

How about spiders and clowns. I know alot of people that are afraid of clowns and a few that are deathly afraid of spiders. And the dark , snakes, monsters,or you can just go to the indexed Phobia List- http://phobialist.com/reverse.html

Hmmm... Make a Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia room – fear of the number 666.

No brainers: Coulrophobia – fear of clowns; dress it up with clown masks, circus posters and colors; find a wicked laughing clown sound track.
Arachnophobia – dislike of spiders (my fave); lots of spider webbing and spider props -- shoot people with silly string...

Thanks! those are great ideas.....we might do a doll room with wooden puppets everywhere and a human puppet hanging from the ceiling.....we thought about doing a little girls room with a bunch of dead girls singing...i donno just some ideas i thought about......do yall know what to do for the insane asylum?

The search button is your friend (located in the upper right corner):

Searching for "asylum" brought up these:

Hospital gowns & straight jackets

Abandoned Asylum Party Plans

Arkham Asylum Theme

Asylum ideas needed!

Also, check out the props build site: www.hauntproject.com

If you have people that can sew, you can make straight jackets:

Also, just try looking around this site - the party and props sections are going to have the most stuff that might give you some good ideas.

How about Claustrophobia? Have really tight spaces.

yeah, def. a doll room, those porcelain dolls are works of the devil!...lol, but seriously, a "house of fears" is a pretty awesome idea.

^Yeah i agree! And a clown room is a must!

Yes! We recently visited a haunted house that had rows of clothes on each side on hangers- like walking through someones closet, and they got narrower the further in you went. Some of them even rocked and had hands that popped out. Very scary for someone who doesn't like tight spots...
