Thread: Hello from North Carolina!

Hi Everyone!
I am very new and inexperienced at home haunting. We have only owned our house for a year now so I am still collecting and creating props for Halloween! I love horror movies and really go for a creepfactor in my decorating. The scarier the better, but I try to tame it down ever so slightly so trick or treaters aren't too scared to come to my door lol. Last year I actually got a few screams and hardly had any decorations out at all IMO.

Is anyone else from NC? I'm hoping to get the lowdown on where I can purchase good quality props and also how to make them inexpensively.

OCT 2010 I plan to have a cemetery and a witch's room. So far I only have 3 tombstones, a zombie, a grim reaper, and bottles for the witch room. I need some good qual tombstones and a scary witch and cauldron! Any tips would be much appreciated.

I look forward to haunting with you guys

Hi & welcme!

Feel free to jump in - lots of great ideas for costuming, prop building and party, home n' yard decorating. Have fun!

Welcome toi the Forum.

Hello Lauren, and welcome to the forum!
I would suggest making your own tombstones. Check out Terra's tutorials. Building Halloween Tombstones She Rocks!!!!!

Thanks so much for the warm welcome guys! I am definitely going to check out Terra's tutorials and I am going to start working on my first tombstone next weekend! Anyone know the cheapest place to find thick foam board? I'll letcha know how it all goes!

Welcome to the forum, Lauren! I'm in Concord, NC myself.
I love horror movies and creepy decorating also. Scary, but not gory.

I buy all my foamboard from Lowe's. I think Home Depot has the thicker (2 inch) foam in our area. I just use the 3/4" foam myself.

hey & welcome!
