Thread: Hello from Central Iowa

Tweet

Hello everyone!

I live on a circle that has had very few TOT'ers. In 2006 we had 2 TOTers. I wanted to change that so I decided to do a frontyard haunt. My first frontyard haunt was in 2006. It consisted of a bunch of styrofoam tombstones and a few small props (easy but fun). That year we had 2 TOT'ers. In 2007 it got a little bigger, Then in 2008 it got bigger and better due to hitting the after season sales. I added a fog machine, a homemade chiller (huge success ask me how to build, it was easy), 3 blue flood lights to set the mood, a bunch of props and a low wattage FM transmitter broadcasting my Halloween playlist (It was tons of fun).The end result was 6 TOT'ers. This past year we had 18 TOT'ers. The pictures of my haunt are in my album, please feel free to take a look. My plans for 2010 are boarding up the house via sytrofoam boards, more tombstones, adding a graveyard fence via wooden pallets, three pinspots for highlights on major props, a Halloween beacon and a weatherproof motion sensor as a trigger for the animated props (finished it tonight). If there is anyone in Central Iowa or near who shares the same passion please drop me a line.

Thanks,

Hello and welcome to the forum!
We had a similar situation when we started out a few years back. Our first year we had maybe a dozen or so. Last year we had 145 TOT's wander down our lane. Once the word gets out, it only gets better. There's no turning back now, welcome to your new obsession.............
