Hello all! Hope everyone had a very successful haunt season!
This year was my very first try at creating a walkthrough haunt attraction. Originally standing in at 480 sq. ft before the historic rain and wind three days before Halloween, (no idea what the final footage was but we did lose a few walls), I strive to put as much detail into my sets as possible. At just 22 years old and in the front yard of my mother's driveway, I try to be as close to the level of the big boys as my budget allows to be. Enjoy!
The backstory:

The mourner statue, my favorite piece that I have ever created, made its return this year in front of last year's facade, which made the move to the front yard cemetery.

As they approached the bungalow house facade, guests were shown what would happen if they chose to disobey the rule of blowing out a Jack O Lantern by this human scarecrow.

Because what old abandoned haunted house doesnt also have an old creepy swing set?

The swingset got even creepier at night when the trick or treaters would come out..
(Prop is just a bedsheet over a wig head! Cost a total of $9!)

The facade in all of its (totally cut off in this picture) 16x12 glory. The cutesy-vintage Hallowen decor tied into the story great but kinda gave the younger crowd the wrong message. Big mistake.

The first room takes place in the actual bungalow house.
Because the finale room took place in a large, hand mortared and troweled chapel where the souls of All Hallow's awaited.

The mourners occupied the pews. Of course some of them were real.

An homage to not only my favorite horror movie franchise of all time, but the movie that created the haunter in me 10 years ago, "Halloween".
Lost in the pictures, but thankfully not in the haunt because of the way it was lit, is the detail in the church sets. Here's some closeup daytime shots. The mortar texture was created with a two step monster mud process.

From foam to stone
Also, because I am an aspiring scenic artist, here's a small sample of my paint wasing and aging

The backstory:
Too long, didnt read version: As Halloween evolved into today's version of the holiday, the community would soon find that the traditions of All Hallow's Eve were living in the creepy abandoned house at the end of the street. The evil trick or treater horde was in charge of enforcing the 3 rules of Halloween: Always wear a costume, never blow out a Jack O Lantern, and always say a prayer for the deceased on All Hallow's Eve.
