Hi to all, my first post ...
Im holding a party this year for halloween and for the UK I think it will be cool..
What i am planning to do is:
Front yard will be a cemetary with a fence around it, Fog will be a Mr cool chilled fogger and lighting with 2 x dmx scans running a 16 step chase which moves across the graveyard then into the air in a criss cross motion then repeats but changes colour and gobo.
Then there will be a walk through that will start from the front of my house right through to the back garden.
My drive is split by two wooden gates so this makes room 1 and then a walkthough maze/haunt.
Room 1 will be the masters front room:
Inside I have a large 10ft x 6ft persian rug for the floor , 5 arm chandalier for lighting controlled by a dimmer, A cauldron with a sonic mist effect which will have a hand in it so it looks like a hand is boiling.
There wil be a wall clock with a pendulum and the walls will be decorated with scene setters ( peeling plaster and wicked wood).
I also have a grammaphone , records and rats in a cage as props.
People will enter this room where i wil be and i have made my own sound effect loop of a clock ticking, fireplace crackling and an old 50s record playing on a grammaphone.
They will then have to knock on a black door knocker on the fence which signals the opening of the fence and entry to the maze/walkthrough.
First room will have just a picture and flickering lights which will be done using a lightning fx I bought last year, sound will be coming from two huge speakers with another custom track i have made.
second room will be spiders with a 4ft Uv light tube
Third room will be the butcher room with a live actor dressed as a butcher nd chains from the roof with arms legs etc dangling.
Final room will have flickering wall lights a drop portraight and my best prop whichis a 7ft coffin with a glass top with a black man in a voodoo costume inside, this has a strobe and a small green light inside which really makes him look cool.
Guest will then go through to my back grden which will be a lrge cemetary with a themed gazeebo and an animated 6ft butler.
I have put pics below of my full garage and some of my props...rusty fence was hand built and inspired from this site.
I will update more on the 30th of Oct as we start the build for the walkthrough..there will be 5 of us building for 2 days...phew.
thanks and happy halloween from Manchester England
