Hello everyone, so for the last 15 or so years I have always been home haunting at my parents house. First started with a small yard display and then grew it to a large yard display. One year I had finally talked my mom into allowing me to run a haunted trail through her wooded garden in the backyard , and was fortunate to do it a second time last year.
If I had it my way I would continue to do this year after year because the trick r treaters love it, BUT my wonderful mother always has anxiety about someone falling. I have always done things as a low scare as we have a lot of younger kids below the age of 10 that come through with their parents so we never chased anyone one or made them run.
So I am currently thinking about doing my own yard instead of my parents and without the perfect wooded path, which I do not have. I do however have a rather large yard with 7 large maple trees, 3 in the front and 4 in the back. Not sure what to do as far as a yard display with live actors or a walk through around the house. My yard is considerably bigger than my parents and don't have enough cemetery fence to do the whole yard and probably won't have much of a budget to make more sections of fence. My house does have a pretty cool look though at night. Reminds me of the haunted mansion at my state fair as the outside color is the same as my house.
I have always done a Cemetery theme because those are the props that I have and I also think it gives me the best setting. My biggest challenge haunting my own home would be the street light in the corner of my front yard. Looking for ideas and or suggestions.
Thanks,
Mr. Haunt
