Ok so I'm a teenager and I was going to build a haunted house I built a jail cell agenst My shed out 3 feet the the width is 5 feet and I made it out of PVC pipes. I need to build a straight wall 40ft and we were going to hang tarps and cloths from the cord and have that as a wall cause we have very little wood and we got like a 100 budget! I already have a bunch of decor but I need to go buy my new fog machine and strobe light! What should I keep in mind for my first haunt ??? My jail cell is like 6 feet tall and it's a square! How can I make something scary for when they go throw my 2 car garage? Plz give me tips!

Nice to see a new user in these parts
#1 instead of double posting use the edit button to add to previous posts.
#2 Going from the driveway to the garage and out should be alright as long as there are no steps, ect... and if there are, they must be visible even to the blind.
As for everything else in that list, could be please be a little more specific on what you want. Then us as fellow haunters can help you better.

The most important info anyone can give you for your first haunted house is.......START SMALL. Seems like you have VERY little time, money, and planning thought out for this . Search the term "panel" on here for wall construction, but you won't get those done with a couple pieces of scrap wood.......going to need lots of 2/4's and 4/8 plywood sheets, other lumber can be used such as 2/2's and plastic but you would have to get some other members thoughts on it. As far as planning look up "google sketchup", you can download it free and form a layout . Remember start small and build your way up to a big haunt.Last edited by KING'S KRYPT; 10-24-2009, 02:31 PM.

Rosco Foggers!
I mourn their loss, they were great! Had 2 of them @ $300 each!
BUT, turn them on, wait a very short time and they would dependably put out the fog for you!
No other cheaper machine has ever been able to do this for me. I am open almost every night of the entire year so these Roscos got plenty of use. I can wait forever and some of those cheap machines make fog "IF" & "When" they feel like it, nothing predictable or dependable about them in the least.
I watch the little light, if finally turns off which means it's ready to work, I push the button and it switches to not-ready and will once again just sit there using electricity, making nothing.
A $10.oo Wall-mart fogger worked pretty good, outdoors (year-round) for maybe 3 years.
I never use great amounts of fog either.
