Hello fellow souls:
I have decided to include my garage into my home haunt this year. It is a two car garage with approximate area of 16' x 16' x 10'
I would like to use this thread as a way to post my progress/pictures as well as consider the suggestions and critique of my fellow haunters.
My goals are the following: 1) Build a SAFE haunt. 2) Build a durable, reusable, storable haunt. 3) Make it memorable, create a true experience for the TOTs.
Well, let's begin.
Perimeter: So I decided already to purchase several black 10' high FR (Fire Retardant) heavy weight stage curtain to hang 2' from the walls to create the haunt space and hide any shelves on the walls. It is on order and I should receive this week. This was not cheap costing about $900 but it is SAFE, removable, durable, and does the job of hiding the rest of the garage very well.
Other things to discuss? Theme. Scenes. Construction of haunt walls. Capturing video footage. Environmentals are key! All five senses are to be included. Lighting, Audio, Smell, Touch (Not actor initiated. I am thinking air cannon and/or interaction with hanging obstacles)
Yes, it's February and in PA we currently have 12" of snow on the ground. This is a passion. I can't stop. I don't even want to. Might as well enjoy it.
Thoughts?
