It all started as a static display on the front porch.  I wanted to do more than just turn on the porch light and set out a couple of pumpkins.

 

I took a white bedsheet and fluorescent spray paint and a black light.  The eery glow was all it took to make the whole thing seem like a big deal.  I wore a "Scream" costume and sat silently in a chair.  People didn't know if I was real or not.  Sometimes I moved, sometimes not.  The most fun was waiting for the kids to walk past to ring the bell and then I would scare their parents.

 

Things grew from there.  Joining the local haunt group introduced me to things I never thought I would do like pneumatics.  Now my biggest problem is not getting overloaded with projects to add to the haunt. - Scott Shier
