That sounds good. I have the roles for actors laid out already, but I didn't think of having a gathering. We did our haunt for the Girls Scouts last year, but they won't be with us this year. We can...

I did a search of the forum, but didn't find any info. We seem to be having trouble keeping actors. Early in the year, we get a lot of interest, but then when October rolls around most if not ALL of...

This tree is just awesome. I may try it out at some point if I get a chance. So much can be done with this technique. One idea I was thinking about would be to make a tree stump out of a 5-gallon...

Thank you guys for all the help. We will be doing it outside since the fire marshal said we can do whatever we want and they have no jurisdiction over outdoor haunts. In the future, I will look for a...

Thanks. That does help. I am going to talk to the FM and see what he says about doing it way. I think if I show him the design and layout and show that there are numerous exits and egress hallways,...

I've been working with my fire marshal to get a suitable location for my haunt. We want to use the fairgrounds and have a modular attraction outside, covered by a tent. The fire marshal said that he...

LOL @ Jim. Yeah I think $100 per actor may be a little high since really, how much can they do except let people take pics with them and hand out an occasional ticket. I really like Haunter's ideas...

I was thinking...radio stations charge businesses to come out and broadcast at their location and draw customers. Why not do the same but with haunt actors? Local businesses could pay you to have an...

Not sure if this is very helpful, but I have always wanted to try to make one these, but I don't have a form...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqFwzUY2OXc

I have seen other haunts do different levels of sponsorships. I think it is a great idea. the good news is that we don't need $10,000 or more to open. We only need somewhere in the neighborhood of...

I was thinking about charging local businesses a fee to have their company logo and slogan printed on tickets or coupons or flyers. I just have no idea what to charge. I was thinking around $100-$200...

This is a great idea. I always thought it would be great to have a jig to make wall panel building easier, but never knew how to do it. This helps a lot.

I had the JB Corn set on my old computer which is longer amoung the living. Can you send me a link too please? Thanks

Wow. OK so vacuum forming is out for me lol

The easiest way to build modular walls is by using 4'x8' plywood or OSB and 2x4 studs. You screw one 8' 2x4 to each edge of the plywood, then cut 3 more to 45 inches and screw one horizontally across...

I have wanted to make my own 4'x8' vacu-formed panels too, but had no idea where to start. Reading this has helped me a lot. I have no idea where to get the 4'x8' plastic sheets for it still, though....

I am an avid follower of YouTube Wednesday, waking up every Thursday morning excited to sip my morning coffee over the latest episode. I have not seen the Gorilla glue/water ghetto foam technique,...

I'm not sure what you have for land but we have 5 acres and there are a ton of fallen trees. I took a bunch that were about 2-3 thick and screwed stuck them into the ground to add trees to my...

This may seem like a silly question, but I was going to start a Facebook Page and when it asked for a category I was at a loss for what to choose. What do you guys put you haunt Pages under? I...

I also wanted to point out a website a fellow haunter in Vermont showed me. It is the Vermont Business Materials Exchange. There are other states also. This site has businesses listing items for sale...

Great. Thanks! Rich's book will save me some time :)

Well, I have time for now, but very little money. I have taken 20 pallets apart in two days and I plan on recontructing them much like a 2X4 and plywood wall panel. It will be very sturdy and to take...

I was just wondering how many of you use a handbook for your actors and volunteers. I was thinking of using one for my team. Can anyone supply maybe a template of how one is formatted? I want to...

It's a lot more work, but I thought of taking them apart (at least partiallty as they are difficult to take apart) and rebuilding them. I am in the process of collecting about 200 pallets from a...

OK prefab walls are going to be beyond budget this year, so I going to search for pallets and free plywood in my area at contruction sites and plywood manufacturers.
