cool haunted house



[joeyd1013]

@123mermaidsrule Thank you!

[DrPumpkinSmasher]

Ya, I have an intro vid for my haunted house too. And as i said, I had to change my account so i am the same person as mentalduck61.

[joeyd1013]

@DrPumpkinSmasher An intro vid is a great idea!

[DrPumpkinSmasher]

Great, I just got the Evil Entity prop. Check it out.

[DrPumpkinSmasher]

I am building a haunted house this october and I am wondering where you got the guy with the leaches on it or what ever was in the butcher shop. I originally was mental duck 61 but had to change it to more of a name that fits what I like which in that case is halloween. I will update you on any videos because of the comment up there. ^

[joeyd1013]

@DrPumpkinSmasher I'm not sure what prop you are referring to with the leeches. What is the time-stamp of the prop?

[HauntersDepot]

Magnificent! Cant wait for halloween!

[joeyd1013]

@HauntersDepot Thanks! Same here!!!

[jennaiscoolnotschool]

the shaking pirate in the cage i go to the same place every year and they have it and it makes me laugh because it says let me out and then somthi after that about somthing lol that place looks epic ! wish i could go there and get spooked :)

[joeyd1013]

@jennaiscoolnotschool Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!

[joeyd1013]

@mentalduck61 I will as long as I do the haunt. I don't have a location yet so everything is still up in the air!

[joeyd1013]

@mentalduck61 You're welcome and good luck! Let me know if you do it and post a video. I would love to see what you create.

[joeyd1013]

@mentalduck61 Believe it or not but people LOVE pirates. I personally could go without them in a haunt, but visitors seem to like them... so they stay!

[teecee2468]

do you charge entrance?

[joeyd1013]

@teecee2468 My haunts were free from 2006-2009. I started charging in 2010 when I moved it into a large store-front. Of the hundreds of people that went through, only 1 person complained it wasn't worth the entrance fee... so I was pretty happy with that :-)

[joeyd1013]

@teecee2468 to answer your previous question: No offence taken :-) My ability to buy all of this stuff is a combination of a few things... 1. Always buy in the off season, especially right after Halloween. Stores sell everything at deep discounts. 2. Buy in bulk. Merchants will cut you deals when you buy a lot at once. 3. I worked at a Halloween store and benefited from a really good employee discount.

[joeyd1013]

@teecee2468 4. I became friend with the store owner, and that resulted on even better discounts and deals. 5. Look for deals on auction sites, garage sales, and other discount party sites. 6. Finally, start making props. Come up with your own creative solutions to the expensive you can't afford. Remember, its not about how much money you have, its about how smart you are with that money. Thanks for watching my videos!

[joeyd1013]

@the2000breakdown Thanks, I really appreciate the compliment!

[joeyd1013]

@the2000breakdown I'm glad I've recorded mine every year so far. It's nice to have the memories...

[joeyd1013]

@the2000breakdown I'm glad it could provide some inspiration. Wait until you see the 2010 videos. They're coming soon...

[powerbot20]

i've been there

[joeyd1013]

@powerbot20 Do I know you?

[ultraplayer2626]

where do you buy your props from?

[joeyd1013]

@ultraplayer2626 just about every online store you can think of! I also visit a lot of stores that open up around halloween in my area...

[MrChadster001]

@joeyd1013 oh NICE even know i live in calf. ill have to fly their to see it

[joeyd1013]

@MrChadster001 get ur plane tix now! Admission is only 5 bucks!

[MrChadster001]

N>I>C>E!!! How many actors are their? btw where is this?

[joeyd1013]

@MrChadster001 Thanks! We had s small handful of actors, roughly 4-8. It's was in Westchester, NY. This years haunt will be in a new building but still in Westchester.

[MrChadster001]

N>I>C>E!!! How many actors are their? btw where is this?

[GoodrichMartianNateM]

absolutly amazing!

[joeyd1013]

@GoodrichMartianNateM Thanks! The haunt I'm doing this year will be bigger, better, and open to the public!

[joeyd1013]

Those lamps were a great (and cheap) way to light the haunt...

[xEPICxScOpeZx]

whoooooooooooooo i have that lamp 4:12

[handybud11]

[joeyd1013]

@handybud11 Thanks, I'm glad you like them!

[evilsanta08]

[joeyd1013]

@evilsanta08 Thank you!

[killa4B3L]

SWEET

[joeyd1013]

@killa4B3L Thanks!

[GoodWitchen]

Excellent props. You have the gift!

[joeyd1013]

@GoodWitchen Thanks again! Right now all of the props are in storage but I'm hoping to put them to good use soon...

[GoodWitchen]

Excellent! You have the gift.

[geyser463]

how much did this cost!

[joeyd1013]

@geyser463 I don't have an exact total since I've been collecting for years, but it's not cheap! If you shop around and buy stuff after Halloween for the following year, you can save a lot of money...

[MrBabb1212]

what about people working

[joeyd1013]

@MrBabb1212 This floor of the building was empty so I had it all to myself. I could even lock the rooms at night to keep my stuff safe...

[gdhfsdfhsdkgjdf]

OMG THIS IS AMAZING AWW WHERE IS THIS

[joeyd1013]

@gdhfsdfhsdkgjdf It was located in NY, but I'm not with the company anymore so it wont be back...

[CradleofFear333]

Now thats a nifty, cool haunted attraction!

[joeyd1013]

@CradleofFear333 Thank you!

[person612]

how many people went? very cool

[joeyd1013]

I don't have an exact count but it was a few hundred people... I was really happy with the turnout

[homehaunter09]

that's awesome! in my year-round haunt, i use a total of around 26-30 actors per night.

[homehaunter09]

does it use live actors?

[joeyd1013]

We had a rotating crew of live actors, but they are not in the online videos. I had a host at the entrance, a tour guide, and a few people hidden in the haunt. It worked out nicely!

[chrisfehn13]

were did you get the guy at 5:18?

[joeyd1013]

I got this guy from Fright Catalog. They had a good 50% off sale and I believe they're sold out now. Search their site for "Life Size Cloaked Reaper"

[omenleader666]

dude do u own all that or rent or something lol and once again good job form the little space u had to work with

[joeyd1013]

Thanks - yea, it's all mine and I cant get enough of it!
