Alrighty, here's my next edition of blog posts that may help you build a better haunt.
Gurus of interior design follow basic rules in designing a great room. Christopher Lowell came out with a blockbuster book called the Seven Layers of Design. In haunting, we also use basic rules to make a room truly scary. I'm gonna call them Terra's Seven Layers of Scare:

Welcome to the first of a series of blog posts which are lessons to help make your haunt great. Today's blog post will focus on a post I did a while back on the thread, "To Theme, or Not to Theme."
