I moved
the entrance to the side of my house. This gave me the side
grass area to create a graveyard with a greeting from the
Gravedigger.
This is also where I put the Floating Lantern. |

The Graveyard... |
 |
I lit the graveyard with a individual lights all attached to
one dimmer (see pic on right).This way, I was able
to shine a very dim light on every tombstone. It looked
GREAT.

The Closet... |
| I don't have any
pics of the closet except for one I'm going to video capture.
Basically it's just a bunch of old hanging clothes (closet)
with a monster hiding behind them.
It was so funny, NOBODY wanted to walk past those
clothes!! |
|
|
|
| The
Hallways... |
Below are some pics of the
first two hallways...
The second hallway was blacklight lit. |
 |
|
|
The Old Man and Drop Prop... |
| |
In the scene, I had an "Old Man"
trapped in a small boarded up area.
He controlled two props.
1. He frightened people with a very load noise
created by a
pneumatic chisel pushed against a metal shelf mounted to
the wall.
See pic on right.
2. He raised and DROPPED a 'dead man'
prop.
This prop is hinged at the waist enabling it to be
pulled via
rope to be parallel to the ceiling. Then simply
let go of the
rope and he would swing down. This 'dead man' prop
made a load noise when it hit the wall.
See pics below. |

This whole area was very demanding on
the actor! |

"Haunted" pictures I 'retrieved' from the internet. |

|
The Dot Room... |
|
Last year's "Whisper Room" is this
year's "Dot Room".
Pic on left
It is octagonal in shape, and contains
the typical guy dressed in black
with 'dots' pressed against the wall waiting to scare
the crap out of anyone that passes by. |
 |
|
 |
I also added a 'ghost' floating one of
the walls. I had a fan in this room so that the
ghost's tattered clothing would 'move'.
I had to really lighten the picture to show the
cool
face of the ghost! |
|
|
|
The Coffins... |
I had a couple of homemade coffins here...
I had a girl in one that would scream at passers by.
I had a vampire corpse in the other.
I'll add more pics soon.
 |
|
|
The Black Hallway... |
This hallway was about 15 feet long...
This is what you could see in this hallway... NOTHING!!
It was pitch black in there! |
|
|
The Bloody Sheet Hallway... |
Following the pitch black hallway was the VERY BRIGHT Sheet
Hallway.
I had 5 sheets hanging down with bloody splatters and
handprints.
The vics would have to lift each sheet as they passed.
This was cool because they didn't know what was on the other
side.
 |
|
|
The Caged Skeleton Room... |
 |
This was a larger
area walk-by. Static props here...
It consisted of the Caged Skeleton,
Pile of Bones on floor, and Guardian of the Cage.
... lots of skulls in here. |
 |
 |
 |
More pics... |

Guardian
of the Cage. |
 |
|
|
The Spider Room... |
This room was COVERED in webs!!!
I had lots of body parts including heads tangled in these
thick webs.
Then, right when the vics walked past the last part, an actor
came out
of the webs at them screaming!!!This was a very talked
about scene. |
|

You Survived!!

|
 |
This is my make-shift storage for most
of Bloodsworth Manor.
It is made out of my 4x8 wall panels. One on each
side, and two on top. All my other panels fit
inside along with many boxes of props. FYI:
I put the pillars to the front entry facade on top. |

Special thanks to my wife Bonnie for putting up with my
"obsession", again and again...
