I also do a Haunt at my own house and have been for the last 12 years. My father was doing haunts when I was young and so I carried on the tradition after he retired. Hopefully my son will pick it up later. Imagine the effects and props that can be built in another 15 to 25 years down the road.

One site (a must for Haunters) that is a big inspiration to my prop building is

Alot of Great information with safety in mind.
The "How to build it right" site and lots of other links.

Below are a few pics from the past years.
(1972) This was back in 1972 at my parents house. My mom and dad set up the garage as a walk in haunt with black lights, dry ice and things hooked up to the garage door opener to move. More than just your "go up to the front door get your candy" type of deal back then. My grandmother top left with my dad and then mom. My younger brother Dan in front of my grandma and me in the green mask kneeled down with my cape open (figures, I really got into it, even at age 8).




Above is my house back in 1996
