Haunts: 2003 Walkthrough Entire Walkthrough | Open Floor Plan in New Window 
CandyAt the entrance to the side yard, one of us would sit and hand out candy to the trick-or-treaters. My entire patio is already enclosed in netting (in order to keep our cats from leaving the yard), and that alone created a nice closed-in look for the patio haunt. From the overhead netting, we tied several lengths of black thread so guests would feel as though they were walking through cobwebs. This was particularly effective since this year the haunt was outside, so it was actually plausible that there might, in fact, really be spiderwebs in the walkway. 
In order to reach the entrance to the side yard, guests would pass the large picture window of my living room. Early on, I had planned to decorate a scene in the living room, but for the sake of simplicity, I ended up just closing the curtains and putting a slow-speed strobe light behind them. I used a fan to add some movement to the scene. Partway through the night, Mike and Victor started going inside and banging on the window as trick-or-treaters passed. Combined with the strobe light backlighting, this actually created a pretty cool effect. Hitting the window was enough to startle some guests, and as the strobe light flashed, trick-or-treaters could catch glimpses of a silhouetted figure against the glass.
