Hey everyone, we're in the planning stages of our haunt this year. We're thinking about doing a Jack the Ripper theme. There isn't a whole lot out there that I can find of other haunts doing this theme. I have spoken to a few folks though, and if anyone HAS done a Jack the Ripper theme, I'd love...

We've been doing the Halloween trains for years and have gone through multiple versions and train sizes. I decided this year to make it a little larger but also have room for some of our Halloween light up houses and to make more room for some of the larger train cars like the Ecto 1 last...

Hello! My neighbor and I have hosted a haunt going on 9 years now. This year's theme will be the final arctic voyage of Frankenstein's ship. Just returned from Pensacola where the Mardi Gras parade was chock full of ideas for large-scale ship props! Halloween already on the brain...

We are done! Thanks sweatshop crew, Mo, Aly and of course Chicken Boy. Enjoy their work!

This is the fifth season my wife and I have done the extreme decorating for Halloween. We started with ambitious goals and have added to it every year. Now, quite frankly, the amount of time it takes to set all of it up has become too much for us; not to mention the annual expenses associated...

Hi everyone, for my first post (long time silent observer) I wanted to share the tail end of my hearse build. Now, first thing's first: I needed wheels. Because there was no way I was going to attempt this without having the coach wheels ready to go. So I found mine at a few different At Home...

It’s a good feeling. Almost a relief knowing I am done. I’ve been at it non stop since mid July and am about burnt out. I think I made about 35 new props after only making one or two things last year. I can’t wait to set up this weekend. My final prop was a 13 foot tall demon tree king...

Hey folks! I would like some help in figuring out my final scare for our home haunt this year. I'll give some basic info about our setup, then my ideas and problems for the final scene itself. So, first- our haunt. 90% of the haunt is outdoors. It follows our long gravel driveway through the...

Happy Halloween Everyone! And happy tenth anniversary (and final) to my Cheverly Hillbillies theme. Next year, we will be the Redstreak Holler Haints or Redstreak Revenants (or something equally eerie) in Piketon, Ohio!

Hello from outside Chicago. I've always loved Halloween, but this year I really caught the bug! I've watched many of your tutorials & started creating props for this year. 3 tombstones & a groundbreaker waiting for final paint detail. I can't wait to see how you all inspire me next!

I'm working on ideas for our garage haunt this year (3rd year - yay!) and I like to have a good scare for the final room. I'm thinking of a morgue set up with sheet covered bodies some with haunt actors and an animated prop but feel like I could do one better. I'm trying to avoid gore and PLEASE...

Hey guys well here are some shots of my final setup this year, already thinking of improvements for next year haha
