Haunted House Ideas?

[horrorfan]

Hey Michael,
I usually do a haunted house in my basement at halloween as well. I'm starting my planning now. I want to do a haunted circus this time and I'm even writing a short story to go along with it. Do you know of any spooky circus music CD out there?
We always throw a big halloween party for our friends, usually on the weekend or two before halloween. We buy a horror themed murder mystery dinner, have scavenger hunts for the kids, play games (pass the skull is the most popular which is just like hot potatoe with a large rubber skull), have the haunted house, horror themed snacks, and several of us write our own horror stories that we read when the kids are occupied elsewhere. It's fun but a whole lot of work to get ready for, so I'm starting the planning stage now. Do you know of any links to good, easy to make props, or have any suggestions?

I did a clown theme one year and used a track on the Hellbound: Hellraiser II soundtrack. It's from the scene where the mute girl goes into a hall of mirrors/gory carnival type thing. Really creepy, and calls to mind a circus setting.

Hope this helps. ;D

Cool. I'll have to see if I can check it out. Thanks

Hey Michael,
I may try and grab that song off of I-Tunes do you know what it's title was? Also, Once I have my haunted house ready to go, you should stop by and go through it. I only live a couple of miles away.

Track 6. Halls Of Mirrors.

Man, I am having no luck finding this CD or the song. I can't get it on I-tunes or a few others sites a friend tried for me, and I've gone to two reuse cd shops to search for it and so far, no luck. I'll keep trying though.

Here you go.

I just ordered a copy from E-bay. I ordered one that was in CD form. It was a little more expensive but I prefer it that way. Thanks for the suggestion. I can't wait to get to listen to it. ;D

We spent all day and on till after 1 a.m. working on the haunted house on Saturday. So far we have logged lots of hours working on it to this point. It's starting to shape up but still has a ways to go.
When do you start work on yours?

I'll start on the 26th. It's all modular and goes together pretty easily. The scariest part is cleaning the garage!
