Thread: Building a Garage Haunt

Tweet

Hello

For several years I have been doing yard haunts and each year I always add something new. This year my daughter is 6 and she wanted to have a Halloween Party. Well who am I do say no. So we are doing a Haunted Hayride and a Garage Haunt. The Garage part is going to be 20x20 size with 6 scenes and 3 themed halls. I will start posting pics as the build goes.

Pic 1 You know its Halloween when the monsters come out of the closet


Pic 2 is clearing the space


Pic 3 using blue tape to draw the map


Pic 4 putting the charc in place to check for size.


Pic 5 building the foundation 2x4 in which to drill 3/4" holes in for the PVC pipes.



More pics tomorrow.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and predict that it will not only be a smash hit, but it may be the start of a yearly thing for a while. Looks like a great layout so far.

Did a little test with super bright LED's last night

It looks just HORRIBLE!! So does the garage and all the super cool, um I mean junky , toys in there.

You need to pack up the props, vette, kart, garage and anything else in the way and ship them to me to dispose of for you.

Holy crap, I thought I had a big garage! The maze should go over huge. What are you using for the maze walls - some type of fabric or plastic stretched between PVC posts?

will be using black painter plastic the pvc is almost done I will post pics of it tonight.

I am also doing a garage haunt. Yours looks like it will be great. Is that a blue Vette I see in there?

Yes a 1966 427

My brother in-law restored a 64. The same 64 I was going to buy and restore, then I had kids. LOL! Now I just build garage haunts once a year.

Looks impressive. I've found the walkways need to be pretty wide for those teenage girls that travel in clumps. I would hate for someone to knock over one of your great props. Just something to keep in mind.
