Just moved way out in the boonies last Oct and we have a huge Swamp Oak in the front so I have been thinking maybe Swamp oak something?? We also are surrounded by 15 acres of woods so thought maybe whispering woods?? Not sure so I am open to suggestions.

A lot of us have haunts or displays that we've named. Post your haunt name and tell if there is a reason for the name you chose.

Ours was given the title of EERIE MANOR, a play on the name of our city of Erie, PA. We made plaques for our columns several years ago, and now folks actually refer to the haunt by it's name.




That's funny, I was thinking a while ago that if I was to ever name my haunt, that's what I would name it, as we live on Manor Rd. and are 20 minutes from Lake Erie. No worries though, I'll think of something else before I have the chance to actually create a prop that would officially name it.

Although I don't yet have signage, my cemetery will be Les Fleur Mortel ("The Deadly Flowers). Part of that name stems from a long-term fascination with the healing/hurting aspect of many plants, part is because our garden is so extensive that everyone in the area knows us as "the house with all the plants."

I have also hosted the "Midnight Margarita Bar and Grill" within my haunt, a nod to the one great scene in "Practical Magic."

I call it Ragged Grin and while I no longer recall how I arrived at that name, I know the moment I first said it out loud...in my perceived voice of He Who Walks the Gateway, I knew it was what I wanted. Ragged Grin is a thing, an entity that grows every year in a different place, in a different way starting at the first tick of the new Halloween and by ToT time it unveils it's wonders and magic to those willing to attend. The only question that matters with ragged grin is "R U IN", whether you choose to stay into November 1st, in which case you...become part of Ragged Grin, or some version of you anyway...

"Skrews" refers to the Skrew Witches, sisters bound by blood and pain, twisted by the Great Seekers of Ragged Grin into horrific visions by their own request. Thrust into the forefront this year as overseers of the Harvest of Souls, The Dark Lord wishes to replenish his cupboard with new recruits and these evil hags intend to do so most efficiently.

Mine is the Garry Street Cemetery. As it turns out, as far as I can tell, my Garry St is the only one in New Jersey and only one of five in the entire United States. That makes it easy to find since the entire street is only like four or five blocks long, and you can't miss my house (obviously).
I had resisted attempting to name it after our location since we move around every few years, but I cracked because it just worked so well. Now I'm kinda stuck if we move now, but I did think of a back up plan for that by turning our next driveway into "Garry St" complete with road sign. Or I might just come up with a whole new haunt...

I called my haunted graveyard "Shadow Hill" just because I liked how it sounded. This year, we're doing pirates so I need to come up with something pirate-y sounding. I still want the haunted aspect in the name though and not just a nautical name. hmmmm... thinking...

Mine's the Maple Grove Cemetery.
#1 because we have 2 huge maples (and 1 in the neighbor's yard evenly spaced to ours) in the front yard and #2 my parents still own 120 acres and a farmhouse built in the 1890s up north where we spent most weekends and summers as kids. There was an old one-room schoolhouse at the corner called Maple Grove and for some reason the old-timers in the area called our place the same name, even tho the farmhouse directly across the dirt road from it is closer. So it has both literal and sentimental meanings to it.
