Haunt Your House

Decorate Your Haunted House for Halloween

Sunday, October 28, 2007

The BIG NIGHT is almost here! Are we ready for it? No, but with everything we've done, it will be impressive anyway. Truth is, we could never get it all done in time unless we were planning two years in advance and we've already started planning for next year as we've been putting together this years haunt.

We've got the graveyard set up for the most part. We'll hold off on actually setting up tombstones until Wednesday morning in case of wind, we have some nasty wind storms out here. We've hung some Bucky skeletons from some trees, those are heavy enough that wind doesn't bother them too much. At least light wind.

We noticed a whole bunch of new prject articles at Halloween Online this year. Those guys must be working thier butts off getting things done! There's a bunch of new recipes and food effects in the Recipe section. There's a Craft section now, my wife loves doing crafts so she's all geared up! The Decorations section has some new ideas as well.

This year we have a haunted graveyard that's gotten bigger. Then you follow a path to the haunted house maze set up in the big garage out back, it's got rooms off the maze with a mad doctor lab, a meat market, vampires, monsters. Thank goodness we have a bunch of friends that love to help out! We do this for free, for our trick-or-treaters. If they make it to the end, they get treats.

After the night's haunting there's the party for everyone who helped out. Should be a wonderful night! Exhausting, too! Then we take a week off, put everything in storage and start planning for next year!

October 1st is here and we are in full swing getting ready for our haunt on Halloween! It's been a fun year of planning and making new things to add to our haunt. We are going to set up a great graveyard this year!!

We also started decorating our home for Halloween. I've been busy making some Halloween wreaths. I've also decorated some shirts for the hubby and I to wear during October.

We found some great craft and decorating ideas at
Halloween Online. That's the coolest Halloween website that I have ever seen! There's recipes, costume ideas, craft ideas, party games for the kids, party ideas for our grown-up party, all kinds of stuff! Plus they have like 30 other web sites that are for specific things like fog machines (hubby loves that site), yard haunting ( we both love that site), Halloween recipes, adult costumes, Halloween safety tips, just a ton of sites that I found on their link page.

With all these ideas, we may go broke this year just putting on our annual Halloween haunt and party but it will sure be something we all remember for years to come!
