This lighting profile not at all final, a few more blue spots to place yet, along with string lights for buildings.

Hello to all out there, haunt fans, ghosts, ghouls, and so forth...

Finally have enough of a start physically to begin sharing with this thread, though not a single light, cobweb, inch of fabric or etc. yet been placed. A pre-start, maybe? Infrastructure things to do before more comes out in September.

First backyard purchase of the seasons, found on sale at JoAnn fabrics/crafts:



And the new structure for this year - finishing work still needs to be done, place the rear interior wall with old wood and some props inside, batwing swinging doors are currently being built.



I am thinking for inside the saloon, maybe a good quality red light (anyone have suggestions for a standalone, large option, perhaps with 'flicker' aspect) and fog machine so it looks eerie and like fire still smoldering in there, along with a character for the window - if opt not to do the fog machine, there's enough room for a small box to do a 'Pepper's Ghost' effect inside and below the window, visible at night with a mask/shirt or shroud on a frame perhaps and light fading in and out.

One of the fire and ice lights that Home Depot has in red would make it look like it was burning. I put several on my house this year and it is an unsettling effect.

I should have read this entire thread before commenting on lighting. What an amazing haunt you have.

Wonderful haunt! And a great use of that banshee prop from Spirit - I love that!

And yet more of things moving forward.

 

[Regions Beyond]

Well, it's over, basically - the party/open house was tonight. Photos and video of final setup to follow in coming days, and then perhaps the 'lite' version we move to front yard.

Video edited first - hard to believe in essence now over for the season, for all intents and purposes.

Final photos begin here, daylight first:

I love it all. You definitely are a set designer or an artist. Wow. It looks like a set from Disney's Adventureland. But scarier!

What a fun haunt! Love that the basics are always there, year round... and just get spooked up for halloween.
