[stlouisrocker100]

2:29 I still do that at the age of 21.

[MegaSlashProductions]

A kid right now? Watching your videos? O rly?

[Deadpool0071]

[wonderwoman2889]

[metrostationhottieXD]

i did that fingure gag to

[Greenhornet270]

I am so happy

[JackTheAmazing1]

I could only dream of putting together something as awsome as this!!

[Lulzman69]

I wish I was born in your neighborhood. .-.

[Broezzz]

our halloweens in holland suck, nobody makes an effort to do something with it..

[tmsods]

well now that I think of it, the best idea that comes to my mind is to decorate a room with deer guts and skinned coons and possums, maybe some pig blood on the floor or just fake blood...

[night7729]

James, become a real movie maker, and stop all the shitty "all CGI" crap we have today.

[chessinfantry]

I wish my chidhood was thiat cool, man my family fucking sucks!!!!

[peepeeland]

Yah, Halloween used to be so badass.....  Awesome times!

[nintendofan53412]

LOL i whas watching the movie all srsly but when i heard the mario music i whas like wtf that aint scary but it looks pretty cool u will be famous as an film maker

[BlueBig22]

James is badass 

[darthvaderyoda]

I wonder if anyone tried to rip the paper off of the walls

[KraigTheMan]

I remember making haunted house in my backyard with my brothers when I 8 years old. Cool video James.

[Vdevagau]

Young James, awesome. Wish there were more guys like you on Youtube.

[BurningPotatoFilms]

Nowadays in my area all you get is bastard teenagers with no costumes going round and egging homes and young kids screaming at you if you say you don't have any candy left. My area sucks.

[dg1000]

4:40-4:45

LOL! Crossed eye James! He just knows how to put the fun into everything!

From TMNT to AVGN to Halloween Celebrations to Movies!

[nightmarereject]

James once and a while i watch this and the tour of The AtmosFearic Garage of the Supernatural it sounds corney but it makes me happy. Not just around halloween but any time. Cause you and me love halloween this much and it takes me back to when i was little and used to do the same thing.

[joshleamey]

LOL, This is cool man :D, AVGN has always been doing awesome stuff!.

[GigaBowser86]

Halloween is my favorite time of year too. Leaves falling of trees, horror movies, Halloween marathons, haunted houses, etc.

[BeRad117]

Wow were I live nobody does any thing for Halloween. All I ever see is either...

A: Nothing.

B: A pumpkin (if your lucky its carved)

C: Just one or two decorations

D: A bunch of cutesy stuff thrown out like freakinstein as a kid .

E: Christmas Lights (my all time favorite)

and

F: a person who goes and buys fog matchings, strobe lights, colored lights, music, etc. which is can be used very creatively but they ruin it by going to target and buying cheesy inflatable crap and do nothing to them.

[jcg1997]

I remember being at my school's Halloween parties and I would always be the one to hide somewhere, then when people backed up to it I would come out and scare them. I never got the chance to have a haunted house tour.

[JaKeW13]

7:10 Lawrence Talbot, thats one of the actors in Plan 9 right?

[owenmcgarel]

I was thinking of having a house of my own. Sooooooooooooooooooo how do I do it?

[KeenHearth56]

wow, that chimp-like sound efect at 4:10 sounds super real, i literally took my earphones off cause i thought that a monkey was outside my house.

[stickmanpictures01]

I love the deader the better.

[ZombifiedGuitarist]

lol Young James

[sonicfanatic4949]

this isn't avgn this is james rolfe

[mudkiprules4]

6:52 is that the music from SM64 when you fight bowser the 3rd time it kinda makes sense because SM64 came out in september "96 and the tour was in october "96

[McKnoot]

ROFL 1:50 LMAO, Ahh I love AVGN so fucking much.

[MikaelAlatervo]

[stickmanpictures01]

[Inuyasha92102]

That was a pretty kool video.

[Sunderland4745]

I made a Haunted House Once. I'd have people in the bushes at the door, I whould have alot of black lights and some chopped up bodies props in the yard, Dont rember much in the house, I know I had the eyes that glowed ontop of the doors and stuff. It was pretty cool not that good though, I plan to do another this halloween with the help of my brother and cousins :D

[RayMkIII]

You got a rock once but I got a single grain of rice

[ASININIUS55]

ha ha norman bates

[HySonic]

There is no halloween here in Portugal :(

[subhack55]

hahah u suck

[oldsweetpea88]

Yeah, man, you're one talented ass dude. I wish I had a little chunk of the motivation you must have. Or atleast that I wasn't nearly as lazy as I am lol

[sushipurplenurple]

james this is freakin awesome uve inspired me 2 create a haunted hous in my garage this year. ill probably obsess about the idea for 3 weeks and then forget about it

[redeye117]

Well do plan ahead.. It took him like 3 months in advance to plan and build each haunted house.

I find it amusing that He did this at a young age.. I guess his parents are rather sporting to do all this.. Although he go and scare the crap out of him. When he taught what can a kids hose can do..

[AVGNnostalgiazilla00]

Ha! I know how that is.

[wesleyfilms]

I love the atmospher I get from just watching this.

I acualy like halloween more then I did as a kid...I dont know why still.

[CiNtO92]

Isnt it crazy that I was born in 1993 October 24 !!!

[IAMMIKE456]

i wish i had a basement...

[buddrumz]

nice, reminds me of when i was a kid growing up at the LOPEZ RANCH in playa del rey ..... it was the last old school ranch in l.a. that was there since the 40s but closed down in 99

[SawfulSawyer]

This is a great video, James! And it was super nostalgic for me indeed!

[justinvalead77]

OMG James.....you inspire me!....(dont take that personally almost everyone is inspired by you)

[1234yersiman]

He should work for teh media

[temkz0]

wow this is awsome ....i cant do that in my house my parents wont let me ... what you did is sooooo creative.

its interesting to see holoween in 1994 (becouse thats the year i was born)

[ihatecolereynolds]

LOL, I hear the theme from the final Bowser Battle in Super Mario 64! (I like to call the Bowser in it Rainbow Bowser because of all the colors on him. Of course they got rid of this for the DS version. Oh well)

[AniMasons]

I love how you review your first haunted house like it were a shitty game or something. "WHAT WAS I THINKING??" For a home-made haunted house, that's as good as it gets. Good job, love your work.

[kh2nerd806]

I was born in 1993, so i was born the same year he started it :D

[zinnycat1597]

hey james. ive just discovered cinemassacre and i love your reviews. they 're so funny :)

i especially love this video because it reminds me of when i was a kid in the 90s and tried to make my own haunted house. of course i was around in elementary school at the time and your decorations were WAY better than mine could have been. you had some pretty cool ideas (like the packing peanuts as bugs hehe gross).

i give this video five paper bats on a string.

[mudkiprulesX]

i made some haunted houses of my own heres my meter of how good mine were

2003: 2/10 IT WAS SO FUCKEN HORRIBLE

2004: 4/10 scared some people not that many

2005: 7/10 I SCARED SO MANY PEOPLE!

2006: 8/10 MY BEST ONE

i didn't make any for 2007/2008 but it's gonna make a return in 2009

[MonkeyClaws22]

wow

[alienhoboszombies]

Man halloween haunted houses are awsum they had one in los lunas during 2008 and it was actually pretty good for a highschool setup, not to mention james in the video did those haunted houses himself which needless to say is pretty fucking awsum

[littledrummerboy44]

me and my friends did a haunted trail in th back woods behind one of my friends house it was sick

[jrompe]

GAWD YOU ARE CREATIVE!

and that shit would scare the shit outa me i am afraid of eaven entering my normal basement at a dark halloween night (maybe cuz my friend scarred me one time at a dark halloween night he was dressed like a ghost and he put the lights out and my heart almost stoppped) its so dark and scarry in my basement and the walls are made of stone and its almost like walking in an old church

SCARRY AS HELL!

[Smallvillenerd]

8:57

hahaha

[juliusyeung0330]

i want to go in there!!! man, that was awsome!!

[doctorwhoobawooba]

AWESOME MAN!

im 11 >:)

[redeye117]

Wow.. it was really nice for your parents when you were young to let you use their basement to do all this..

[AmazingUndeadMonkey]

Jesus man, you got a big basement!

[nikki9087654321]

1996

8 months and 27 days after i was born

whoopy.

[CCrossfan]

Did you watch the end

elpekardo lol

[elpekardo]

pretty awesim man

werez '99-08?

[kickAbooJoyjuice]

I love this!

[retrogamer791]

dude that is great very creative amazing how you can do all that stuff.I would be scared if i went in the 1998.And trust me im probaly scared of nothing.

[supertaylrock1]

hahah i saw this AFTER i saw the garage walkthrough.... o well

nice job man

[Smoker4Hire]

Although the 1993 stuff was a little cheesy, I have to say you had quite an imagination as a child. And that counts for alot. Thanks for sharing, James!

[Kamikazepit]

Awesome

[Wiky100]

Hey James, thanks for the tour. I wonder, seems like you are a big fan of horror movies of your childhood. The deader the better reflects that IMO. What do you think about this new so called sub genre of torture porn (like the saw series). Also seems like you are an action fan..can we expect an action short film?

[thenameless191993]

Cool I was born on 1993 :D

[schiepe]

rofl. so cool

[waddafxupwidat]

i worked at a haunted house i was in a harness under my clothes and it looked like i hung myself my frnd dj made like 4 or 5 little girls cry it was hilarious

[markymangle]

I loved how James critiqued his own haunted house. Awesome video.

[HorrorReviews123]

This did really bring back memories as a kid.

We use to own a golf cart and a 20 acre woods behind our house. I would drive the golf cart around the woods at 30 mph (at 9 years old!) running away from Jason (my brother) and Leatherface (my dad). I'd have one person sit in the passenger seat and one sitting in the back. It was always fun, since it was never the same thing twice!

It was fun!

[HorrorReviews123]

WOW! YOU HAD THE SHIT LOAD OF IDEAS MAN@

[Cr4zYH3aD]

Hey James. You should do this with your house now. 10 years later, with good old old school thingy..or high tech. surround sound and a computer ...in the dark..yeah.. that would be quite freaky.

[godzillaforever12]

i was born in 1995 november 13

[MindwashProductions]

HOLY SHIT! I WAS BORN 1995 NOVEMBER 3RD!

Odd.

[godzillaforever12]

yep so your b-day went by.

[MindwashProductions]

Yup, I got an X-box 360, and Guitar Hero: World Tour.

^_^

[ancientflounder]

Loving the mustache, James! XD

I remember when we set up the front porch of my old house one year. Lots of dry ice, spooky music and my dad and his friend scaring the living shit out of every kid that came up for candy. Was pretty awesome.

[saintaureus]

Wow you put a lot of work into those, that bug tunnel sounds pretty cool.

[KitsuneWolf85]

1:28 O_O I had that same dragon sword! AWESOME! :D

[robinsnest1]

i was born in 1996 november 27

sweet

[ethanman101]

december 9th for me

[jsmendez99]

nice tour James :)

[algorefan4]

why so serious?

[Davidlockejr]

That going into hell thing is great.

[Valis77]

1:48 SHIIKAKA! The Great White Bat!

[BygPhattyPlus]

I'll bet that if you did one now, it would be in the news as the best haunted house ever!

[ToruKun1]

LOL, cut-out paper bats FTW~!!! XD

[Valis77]

Agreed! That was just funny!

[ragingo]

I used to love halloween, but where I live now, no one does it. I would of probably done a haunted house if I was still in somewhere it was encoureged, oh well, I go on holiday to orlando now every halloween.

[dicnar]

haha great stuff, to bad the halloween isn't so popular in europe. BTW. the name on one of the tombstones is Marya Zalewska... I actually know a person with that name :D

[OutlandishEmpire]

awesome dude, can't wait for the garaje :P

[Hotora86]

cool

[1nertiaticESP]

good work james. you're the man.

[thenintendogamer]

rotff on 1:54 and 5:54!

[dakostro]

You know, I'd say that first haunted house was pretty creative considering your age and that you hadn't done any before that. We all have to start out somewhere, don't we?

[GamerTron0]

Its quite disterbing when people say halloween is the best time of the the year, in my opion its christmas thats the best time of the year.

[wangm7]

totally agree

[Aloverssoulz]

I love Halloween,it's my personal favourtie.

[CJ076]

I prefer Christmas. I actually never liked Halloween.

[ChannelNotSeen]

You are a very good narrator.

[hqproductions]

you rock james

[stewieandhomerrule]

thats cool dude!

[darthvaderabraham]

thats just awesome

[MustardOverlord]

Also, when you didn't cut the bat out, it looked like a fish :P

Then again, seeing a levitating fish would probably freak me out a hell of a lot more than a bat, I'd be scared shitless.

[MustardOverlord]

Nice job, especially flipping around the classic "What were they thinking!?" to be directed at yourself at around @:05, XD.

[MustardOverlord]

2:05, mah bad.

[STEELCITYMATT]

That was soo good to watch. Always wanted you to put on a video about your haunted houses since i saw that 23 min video on your life. AWESOME

[JonathanMoore2001]

Man I love Halloween, saw this on Cinemassacre a while ago.

Great Haunted House stuff.

-- God Bless.

[Trevelyan]

that was awesome james! you did awesome but sorry i hate halloween, you know in my country i see it like a fuckin ripoff from the americanshalloween, and i hate to be copying americans

[Zeeboe]

Halloween rules. Halloween-haters blow.

[PirateBadhammer]

That is awesome that you were doing this as a kid... shit man, i wish i had any video of all the haunts i have been a part of. good stuff for a kid to do, you have been a creative guy for years.

[superlee4ever]

Wow, that seems like a lot of work for a young kid to do. What a talented and driven guy!

[mickawawa]

those bats that you drew were hilarious

[Meatballer]

james you are such a talented person and its an honor to see your work!!!

[ichhassdievoll]

Nice stuff :-). Actually in hate halloween, because it seems to be an bad copy over here in germany and i don't se any reason why we need halloween here. When i was a kid there was nobody thinking of halloweenpartys and stuff... now your getting this kind of "partys" everythere. WHAT ARE THEY THINKING! :-D

[Zeeboe]

Halloween is cool. I fucking hate Hallween-haters.

[FantasiaCloud]

What was I thinking?!

Awesome.

[tjt8484]

That's absolutly incredible:)

[Panman38]

Love the video with the severed hand on a string.

[deathwatch962]

I think I would like your dad James.

[CountChupulla]

thanks for the upload. was fun seeing this. cant wait for the supernatural basement

[mirtheous]

Wish I coulda experienced them.

[MikeRugers]

James:

Haunted Houses are the best!! Halloween is the best time of the year!! Hope you can make another haunted house at some point in the future.

[RockyBalboa211]

WE LOVE YOU JAMES!!

[jcrist]

man the nerd was destined for greatness

[TampaRed]

My buddies and I would make a haunted yard. As kids would come up to the house for trick or treating, we would have a whole array of spooky shit. I was always a zombie and we arranged it so it would seem like I was popping out of a grave. A buddy always dressed as Jason and even had a chainsaw with the chain taken off. Whenever people would come up, he would start up the chainsaw and scare the shit out of 'em. An other buddy was a werewolf, chained to a tree. Awesome stuff. Halloween rules.

[qukai000]

damn. can u make a vid tour of it. sounds so badass.

[magaz]

oh man I was doing haunted houses at the same time you were haha :P Around the whole upstairs of the house... One year I did a phantom of the opera scene and made an organ from a casio keyboard and a shed load of bog roll tubes :) and for some reason there were bags of crisps around it? I dunno... great video... really made me nostalgic haha :P

[zevvay]

lol 7:23 he has a little dirty sanchez

[darakong]

Amazing James!!!!

[cheesnuggets123]

is it just me, or do you spell pronounce wrong?

[Argony612]

I don't know, I've never spelled it before.

[Joekitty001]

It looks like alot of fun!

[vampirekiller777000]

Aww man no 1995? Then that means I can't see you at my age, 14?

[FerrariF50]

Halloween used to be so awesome back in the 90s. Random people on your block could throw parties or have haunted houses and you would go and not think someone is gonna kid nap you or they spiked the punch with something it was always in good fun.

[danw087]

james rules

[LarkandCrash]

this is crazy! (in a good way)

[TheNuclearPotato]

Awesome. I always loved haunted houses and is that Bowsers song from Mario 64 playing at 6:52?

[SolidSnakeRules]

yeah halloween used to be awesome then I moved to New York City, trick or treating isn't great in the big city.

[thegrimreaperrocks]

awesome

[varelabro1]

so awesome

[varelabro1]

Hey!  He does! Thanks!

[squiggly9]

that was awesome!!!!!

i wish i couldve gone through

[Beatrixster]

omg thats fucking sick. i want to see moar of this

[DML897]

HAHAH! Hilarious. Dude whats with the mexican mustache in 95 LOL!

[Wikilla23]

thats the shit right there..

[ChronoImp]

Cool, the most my mom ever let me do in the house was a pillow fort for half an hour.

[Va1entine82]

Haha, James looks like a redneck on some of them later Huntered house's!
