So our theme this year is the "voodoo swamp", and a southern bayou just isn't complete without a gator or two. I couldn't find anything decent size online so I resigned myself to building one. I cut out a cardboard form as reference and am gluing pieces of Styrofoam together to create the body...

Every year I lead a team and we set up a community haunted house. We have a two story building we are allowed to use. This year we want to try the Swamp with the lights and fogger but I don't have much experience with using a hazer or a fog machine indoors. I know the older foggers we have...

I had a blast this Halloween and an even better time filming this video with my niece. She helps me build props throughout the Summer and shot some of the video footage of my haunt. Then she taught me how to use iMovie. So here is Hellbilly Holler 2020.

Here you go a complete laser swamp room setup. Plug and play. Awesome set up for your haunt or home haunt as we did. Was a big hit at our home haunt, were selling cause were changing scenes. Hers a list: (5) professional quality latex spider props, 2 static sitting, 2 pneumatic jumping, and 1...

Home Depot has some of their Christmas items on 50% off sale right now online. I saw this ShowHome App RGBW LED Ball on sale and thought, cool! I guess this was suppose to look like snowballs maybe but Watch the video and let your mind go to halloween themes...Pulsating Alien space ball...

So I stood in line at Michael's for at least 20 minutes this past weekend with a bunch of people buying Christmas stuff and I wondered to myself "I wonder what these people would do if they knew I was here to buy supplies for next year's Halloween and I don't care about the Xmas stuff...."...

This is a laser swamp test that I put together using a green laser pointer that I bought on Ebay for around $2 mixed with a "line" laser lens that I got from a red line laser module (also on Ebay) for 58 cents. in the future I will probably try to see what adding mirrors will do to amplify the...

Sorry all, I could not figure out how to rotate the pics. :( This year, my wife challenged me to create a theme based on a swamp or bayou. I started with some old fence panels turned on their side and attached. I added a porch of pallets and cut one pallet in half to create a dock. The...

Looking for Swamp Trees like the one in the photo. I got it from Spirit Halloween a number of years ago

Hi everyone, I just joined and am absorbing all the ideas. I have been making Halloween scary for my neighbors and my stepson for about 7 years now. Last year I built a large and heavy spider with color changing bulbs for eyes. I will post pics on here soon. This year we are going for Bad...

Friends - We are taking my Voodoo on the Bayou yard haunt on a road trip this year and setting up shop at Lake Rudolph (Holiday World) Campground. Any tips from experienced campers/haunters who have done this before? I have quite a few props to take (skeletons, lighting, sound effects). Will...

Is there a 2018 thread yet? If so, it has not been active for a time. Spirit has launched their first 2018 salvo. A Michael Myers animatronic. Don't know how close it is to its predecessor. $260, plus shipping, oversized shipping.

I am searching for the green swamp witch that came from spirit halloween, IF ANYONE HAS THE PROP I HAVE THE MONEY!!

All gone/SOLD as of 2018! Several years ago I was lucky enough to be the first one interested to buy the Swamp Tree Props from the Spirit Halloween Store in Santee, CA. The store was very small, and could only accommodate one tree display, but the store had received three trees apparently...

Does anyone know where I can get creepy witch sounds and also swamp sound?

Havent posted much lately as my party is this saturday! starting to feel the pressure especially because I wasn't happy the way my first attempt at Jambalaya turned out. Here are some picts of the set up. I shamelessly copied papa voodoo from the members here ( of course mine is not as...

I bought a Hurricane 1302 fogger and will build my fog chiller. I need to know what type of laser and dispersion device I need to shoot a green beam at low height to create the green swamp effect. Any ideas? Not trying to spend a ton here....I have seen people do this with a $70 laser but...
