That looks awesome! Nice job!

johnshenry -- great sign!

B Scary - I love your invitations/travel brochures. I think they came out great. Can you tell me where you got the picture of the creepy bellman by the hotel bed? I absolutely love that picture! I hope you do have your party - I am looking forward to sharing "haunted hotel stories" with you after the big day!

Johnsherry - your sign looks great! How did you attach those lights to the back of the sign? I can't ever figure out how to attach anything to foam.

I'll take a pic of the back later. The sign is made from 2 pieces of 2 x 4 ' foam, and they are held together by an 8" wide strip of plywood Gorilla glued across the seam. So I was able to screw a "T" frame to that that gave me a support for the light tube ends just below the top edge of the sign.

Lady -- Here's the picture of the bellhop. I find on some google search it wasn't a large file so I couldn't get it to enlarge without pixelating but here it is.

I am happy to report that we are having the party (3 infact) but am I behind - about 3 weeks! I won't be able to build as many props as I'd planned but maybe we will do the same theme next year and just build onto it. Anyway, we are a go and I have from now until the first party (10/24) to get it done so off to haunt the hotel.

Have you guys thought of any games to play? I was going to adapt the Tempt Your Fate game and considered breaking out the old fav from years past -- MURDER(wink) but I haven't gotten to that yet so I'm open to any great ideas your hotel may be brewing.

I am also looking for what to name the cocktails for the evening that will keep with the theme.


Keep the pictures coming -- they are very inspiring. I promise I will post ours soon.

I think a haunted hotel calls for a ghost story and perhaps tasks and clues that lead up to solving the mystery and setting the spirit free.
