I wasn't sure where to place this. Feel free to move it to a more appropriate thread if there is one ^_^
With almost being into the third month of the year it wouldn't surprise most that there is so much pondering and plotting for this years Haunt Season. We've got a large yard that has two cemeteries and all kinds of props. Though I have expanded each year and added more in depth pieces to each section I find myself at a loss for what to do.
The witches kitchen has become a staple. Everyone expects it, loves it and a lot of times walks through more than once on Halloween so it isn't something I'm looking to loose. This past season we added a tunnel which I thought was quite large ( over 7 feet wide. Starting at 7 feet tall and lowering to about 5 ft.) Sadly people were very afraid of it and were going the wrong way of the walk through to avoid it which really messed up things for the actors we had around. Has anyone else had such a problem?
We're thinking of figuring out a fanciful gate or one way thing on the other side of the island to prevent counter flow problems and people didn't even listen to the actors.
Another thought we have had is adding a walk through path fenced and lit in the large cemetery ( first one your see in the video) so you can see more of the headstones up close.
People's ideas would be great
also I'd love to hear if anyone else has had problems with people avoiding certain parts of their haunts as this was a new experience for us.
( Also this was my first time editing video of any kind so I hope it's not to horrible
