Any Minnesota Twin Cities Haunters?

[Mr. Haunt]

Hey it's Mr. Haunt stopping in to say hi after a long period of missing out on the haunt forums! I have missed checking in and after wondering through the haunted mansion at the state fair, it got me thinking I have not done much to get myself ready for Halloween 2009!

I am just wondering, who is a home haunter in Washington County MN? Might want to share some ideas.

This year I am going to collect donations for the Animal Shelter, and I am hoping to expand on what I do for my yard haunt and make it into a little bit of a bigger event then just a displayed theme.

I have done a few live actors, but I would like to change it up a bit and take it to the next level. I have some space to make it a larger type attraction with some wooded space I hope to use.

If there is anyone who might like to become friends and help put something good on drop me a line!

Just some other food for thinking on, my theme that I use every year is a cemetery.

I use many headstones that I have done up myself

Three coffins, one I have made and can support a human actor. Possible 2 coffins can be used for actors, but the one is cardboard

I incorperate the use of 3 foggers on is a ground fogger

2 Strobe lights and one red or blue flahing light

Sound effects

3 stand alone monsters (not live- but could be) just need actors to do the trick. I have three other costumes to use for actors so I have enough for 6 monsters

Lots of multi colored rope lights and extension cords

I also use many small props like spiders and webbing.

Last year was my best year I was able to use my cemetery wall collums and had flashing pumpkin heads on them.

It was also my first year in a little while not doing any live actors, but I rigged up a costume on a tall standing fan that turned back and forth and the kids love that one, they could not figure out how it works, but it was SO SIMPLE!

I know all the kids look forward to what I do every year and I only do it on Halloween. I have been doing this for about 8 years now and dont plan on stopping. I add a little more each year on a budget, so it has a new look.

Ok I am not board here and dont want to toot my own horn, but I have a great place to do a walking path haunt through my back yard along with a garden shed that might be able to use as a prop in some way. Not that wooded but enough for good effect.
