Hey everybody, I'm still pretty new (well I signed up along time ago but I haven't done much here yet) but I thought I'd introduce myself with a video of the last years haunt so you can see what I'm into.


YouTube - Haunted Tiki Island 2008

Interested to hear what you guys think about my non traditionally themed haunt.

 

[ruggerz]

looks awesome...

Lots of effects and animated props...

How long hae you been doing this for?

We have been doing this for two years, and this is the last year we will be doing a tiki themed haunt.

Here is the first year, and was our first yard haunt.

Very nice.

I've seen your (2008) stuff before, somewhere. Either elsewhere, or stumbled on it via youtube. It's always interesting to see how others tackle a similar idea. I like the lighting very much, yet it's about as opposite from ours as you can get.



I've been working a similar angle on our yard for some time, though I lack your animation abilities. '09 is also going to be our last with the general theme...



So, are you adding anything in 09? And what's your 2010 plans?

I like the use of colors - gives it a very unnatural feeling for all those colors to come popping out of the dark.
That stirring skele - that's one of my fav's. The hunchback look to it is very disturbing - it kind of looks like it's ready to pounce.

 

[Junit]

OH! Your first prop in the video was the calender background a couple months back!

Well done! As a fellow Tiki Freak I can dig it! But why stop???
I put a few of my tiki's out a few years ago, but up here unless its a totem pole people don't get it...

Welcome to the Halloween Forum. Wicked haunt you had, love it.

We are creative people, we crave change and challenge. 2010 will be a haunted carnival and circus, but one like you haven't seen before. Should be rad. Hopefully everyone else in my crew will still be psyched and not "over it".

Oh dude. I am going to be excited to see what you come up with for 2010. I am doing a haunted carnival theme as well. I don't know what you have up your sleeve, but I don't think I have seen my ideas out there either. I hope we aren't thinking the same stuff, because I have a feeling you would totally out do me.

 

[devils chariot]

you wont have to hold your breath for long, were starting props for 2010 this year. So there will a couple of things to look at.

I am working on stuff for 2010 as well. I couldn't possibly get it all done this year so that is why I am not doing a haunted carnival theme until next year.

The Haunted Tiki Island theme is so scary. I really liked it and the the scare-actors look great.

 

[Frankie's Girl]

Hi DevilsChariot! Nice to see you over on these boards too!

I love your Tiki haunt, and while I wouldn't be able to retire such awesome work - I can't wait to see what you come up with on the circus theme.

 

[Samhain.Voodoo]

You know what it reminded me of? And don't take this the wrong way because I mean it as a compliment. It kinda reminded me of the Monster Island from the Scooby Doo Movie. Only much much darker. But yeah it gave me that feel and some ideas of my own if I wasn't already doing a Boondox theme lol. Great stuff, I really love the look and feel. The colors are amazing.

 

[22606]

Very cool, devils chariot. I have to agree with Samhain.Voodoo about the Scooby Doo 'Monster Island' comparison

 

[devils chariot]

I haven't seen that movie in a long time, but yeah that the feel i'm going for , scary but more fun and kinda theme parkish carnival fun. Cannibalism is a pretty gruesome subject matter, but nothing rainbow lights can't fix!

 

[LV Scott T]

Very cool!

I made these a few years ago (for a friend's high-school reunion). I can post a how-to, if anybody is interested.

 

[devils chariot]

That way cool. I'd like to know how you made him. (i can guess, but its more fun to see.)

 

[Tish]

I had been thinking of a Tiki Terror theme lately and so glad to see this! We live on an island and have a tiki bar in town that lots of people like. I thought that theme might be fun, either this year or next.
