Haunts: 2001

Open Floor Plan in New Window
Entrance
One of the most elaborate things we did for our 2001 haunt was construct an additional hallway
outside of and leading into the garage. This was done for a number of reasons. Primarily,
my garage didn't have as much space as Victor's did last year, so we felt we needed the extra
space. Also, we wanted our guests to enter through a door to give the effect of entering a
haunted house. The false front enhanced this effect even further by disguising the
garage door.
Fortunately, we did not need to construct that actual walls of our add-on, as my dad had the
four walls from the dressing room at his former store. We supported the walls by nailing
wood 2x4's across from them to the roof. Fabric walls were used to enclose the sides and
back of the add-on.
To make the warning signs, I painted a wood pattern on some cardboard with tempera (poster) paint and
cut out a jagged shape. I then painted whatever messages I felt were necessary on these. The "Haunted
Garage" sign was made simply by spray painting propped up cardboard with
the can way too close. For simplicity, this was just duct taped to the front.
The warning signs are held up duct tape loops on the back.
