December 20, 2008 ( This is best viewed from bottom to top )
Well, that summs up 2008. Merry Christmas, and happy holidays. Goodbye.
I was a Mullet Guy. (I also wore many different masks throughout the night.) . Will was a clown. My Dad worked the white room and played with his new "Blackberry". Hunter and Tiger were roamers. I think it is also notable that Noah, Cort, and Zack stopped by to act for five minuates, along with ( ahem ) two kids that I had never seen before. ( Nor INVITED to act in my haunt. ).
The first bend.
The white room facade.
At the entrance to the White Room.
Welcome to the butcher shop. The walls are on earlyer ones.
This was on a wall.
You see the shelf of doom ( Earlyer pictures ) And go around this, where we had the bat on a pulley. Actors were dropping this on your head.
And in the dark...
Up close...
Thru a stream of curtains...
The Bloody Mary Bar menu.
Later on, the Bloody Mary Bar. We put an actor in here ( Roamers ) ,and gave him an air hose and a bottle. The air hose broke halfway thru the night.
Down the path and to the left, this was hanging.
Further on.
To the left of the bricks.
As you walked in, this fell on you. We had it on a bungie cord, so it bounced back up at the actor who threw it at you from the platform. ( who would then come and scare you. ) .
Our facade, fully set up. You can see me on the stool. The entrance is to the right. the exit is through the aluminum foil. We fogged you as you walked up the line.

July 25, 2008-? - How To Make A Haunt
Throughout the next few days, I'll give my own version of How To Make Your Own Haunted House. WARNING - Use this procedure at your own risk.
Lets see how far I get. I will be telling you how to haunt in your garage.
Step 1a
Clean The Garage
Pretty simple, really, the sooner you finish this, the sooner you can start building.
Step 1b
Make a floor plan
work on this whenever you have time, you can't continue till you finish this step aswell.
Step 2
Main construction
Five basic ways to do this:
1. Beams and Black Plastic
Set up a sturdy structure and wrap it in the plastic.
2. Rope, Plastic, and Duct Tape*
String the rope accross the area, and tape on the plastic.
3. Cardboard construction*
Tape the cardboard together.
4. Plywood / Particleboard Walls
For this one build sturdy frames and secure lumber to frames.
5. Cool Construction
Use different items such as lattice or tin foil to create the scarriest environment posible. This could get expensive, so I wouldn't recomend it to a first timer.
*Not the strongest structure avaleable.
Step 3
Props
For this, you're going to have to spend some money. Either you'll spend your money on the more expensive halloween superstore props, or you'll build your own props, that will, in the long run, be much less expensive. What style props you build will ultimately depend on your theme wich you chose back in the planning stage, so I'll leave that up to you.
Step 4
Actors
For this one, ask for some of your friends for their assistance, and dress them up.
Step 5

Heres the basic floor plan: ( have fun thinking!!!!!!!!!! )
