We’ve had the plan of what we want to do this year for the haunted house for a few week now. We’ve gone looking through every store here in town to get ideas for new props or for ways to improve those we’ve already made. Now it’s time to start putting all these together, roll up our sleeves, and get to work! So yesterday, we spent the day cleaning out the garage. Not my idea of fun, but it needs to be done in order to have the haunted house, I know…..
After a trip to our local dump, the garage was spiffy and neat and ready for the blackout plastic to be hung. As you can see in the pictures, we’ve got most of the outside walls covered, with the exception of the garage door and the water heater. We’ll cover the garage door today after we take the garbage cans out and into the backyard, and the water heater will have to wait until Halloween night as we don’t want to block it off right now because of ventilation reasons.
So the plan for today is to finish off the outside walls, hang the interior walls, and start setting up the masterpiece of the house this year, the ‘Intestine Mobile’. We need to make sure that we have plenty of room for what we want to do.
This is when it starts getting fun! Props start going up. New ones get made. And we can start to get a clear vision of what the haunt is going to look like. As weird as it seems, after a certain point, the haunt starts to really develop on it’s own.
More pics to come once we get more done. Stay tuned….
