cmotherofpirl Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 I am in the final thros of building a haunted house and we are down to the wire. Keep me in your thoughts as I blood spatter walls, finish the electric chair []anyone want to test it? ], and pad walls. Anybody else out there do this stuff?

shelly_freak Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 At my school (jr high/elementry) we had a fun fair every year. The 8th graders were the ones who put on the haunted house for the rest of the school. That was so much fun!
Thy Geekdom Come Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 My mother's a Halloween nut...the kids used to run passed our house. Halloween is so much fun!

She used to stand on the porch all night with scary music and sounds blaring over the whole neighborhood, all the lights in the house turning on and off at different times, a preserved lamb's brain and a preserved eyeball and a jar of pig embryos, phony tombstones out in the yard, an electric storm ball, scary masks on the porch lamp, a stuffed pair of jeans sticking out of the garage door like it closed on some little boy, and she'd yell out, "come in, come in, I have a double oven!" There was this one little girl who tried to run away so fast that she tripped, flipped in the air, and fell on her head on our driveway. My mom was thinking, "uh oh, lawsuit," but the dad picked the girl up, turned to my mom, gave a thumbs up and said, "great house!"
Thy Geekdom Come Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 My little brother and I took over for her a few years ago...we like a more ominous tone, so we do a lot of the same stuff, but we leave the front door open (with the screen door locked)... Well, we have this long entryway to my house, so we turned off all the lights and had my brother stand in a skeleton suit with a Scream mask and a blacklight shining on him...he looked like a novelty statue... Well...when kids came by and looked at him and said, "oh, cool statue," he would run at them and smack up against the door... I wish I lived in the rich neighorhood next to ours...one house gave out 1 lb. bags of m&ms once...

I used to do that to my parent's house every year,even after I moved out, until I got married and had kids. People used to come from other cities to see the house. It was cool. Now I follow my kids around on Halloween. I am one of those parents that dress up though. I like it. Edited October 21, 2004 by socalscout

I was standing like a statue, wearing a ghoul costume,with a shovel looking like I was digging a grave when this guy came up to look at me. I scared him so bad that he knocked over his 3 year old who fell and hit her head on the cement. She cried and I immedietely ran over to her unwittingly still wearing my mask and she screamed bloody murder. I took off my mask and she stopped crying right then and there looking at me like I was a magician that pulled a rabbit out of a hat. Needless to say she ended up with about half of the whole bowl of candy. She was cute. They came every year after that and still do even though I have not setup my parents house in years.

cmotherofpirl Posted October 22, 2004 Author Posted October 22, 2004 You can tell how my day went when I tell you the highlight was the delivery of the perwinkle colored coffin. Every 5 minutes somebody wanted a tour which is most annoying when you are playing with 15,000 volt Jacobs ladder and they turn off the beaver dam lights. You do not bring little kids in the last build day when the place is fillled with sleep deprived people with power tools. :angry: I told the suit if he didn't get the tour out of the room we would test it on him.
