Hi.
I'm new to the forum, but I am a long time home and charity haunter.
I am in charge of the haunted barn portion of our Lions' Club Haunted Hayride. The Club has chosen a theme of Classic Horror movies for this year's barn, so I'm stuck with it. We will have the following scenes from the classic versions as you go through the barn:
Frankenstein
Dracula
Wolfman
Mummy
Exorcist
Night of the Living Dead
While these are classics, I am beating my head against the wall, along with several other people's heads. I am really trying to make these "Classic Horror" scenes very scary and startling for today's audiences. I have some ideas, but I am reaching out to fellow Hauntworld Forum members for some ideas to make this a truly memorable event.
I love the classics, but they are extremely tame in comparison to what audiences of today expect. How can I twist these up a bit to make them very effective. I am looking for a good startle, or unexpected twist. We can use some gore, but we are limited by our club's policy to keep it PG-13 or close to it. We also have a very limited budget, so I'll be building the scenes and props myself.
All suggstions are welcomed. Although I have been a home and charity haunter for years, I am truly stumped by this year's challenge. As Vincent Price said at the end of "The Fly," "Help Me...."
