Home Haunt News Magazine

The crew over at Home Haunt News Magazine compiled a bunch of photos of Halloween 2009 Haunts World-Wide. We were fortunate enough to have one of our photos from The Thousand Souls Cemetery chosen to be shown in their magazine! The pictures are in their November 2009 Issue. Our picture is on page 12. Thanks Home Haunt News!

Paranormal Activity Sound Clip

I’ve noticed a lot of people have been requesting the audio clip of Paranormal Activity where Micah and Katie are screaming in the kitchen – at the end of the movie. I’ve cut this clip from a video found on youtube. So if you want it, just send me an e-mail at Hauntary@gmail.com with a request for it, and I’ll send it your way!

Thousand Souls Cemetery – Video

Finally got around to uploading the video of the Thousand Souls Cemetery for 2009! I’ve been pretty busy, so it took a while – but it’s up on Youtube finally! You can watch it here. Let me know what you think!

How to Make Your Pictures Look Antique

Hey all,

I uploaded a new tutorial in the How-To section. I wrote a step-by-step guide of how to (or how I) make your digital pictures look antique using Photoshop. It’s quite simple, and once you learn how to do it, you can re-apply the effects to many of your pictures quickly. If any step needs more explaining, please let me know and I will expand upon that step! Enjoy!

How to Make Your Digital Pictures Look Antique

Thousand Souls Cemetery

The Thousand Souls Cemetery was our haunt for this year. We held it at the Thousand Trails Campground – hence the name. It was great! All of the TOTers seemed to enjoy it, and some couldn’t bring themselves to walking through to get candy! The weather couldn’t have been better, and the fog and lighting was phenomenal. Thanks to everyone who helped plan, set-up, decorate, and put it all away! It was truly a blast to be able to have a haunt once again this year. Click the image below for pictures!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! Have a great time and have fun!

One More Day!

With All Hallow’s Eve approaching fast, I just wanted to wish you all a Happy Halloween! Dress up, decorate, go Trick-Or-Treating, eat some candy, watch a scary movie – just have fun! Don’t forget to carve your pumpkins! For those of you who plan on staying home and watching scary movies, I would suggest watching “Trick ‘R Treat” or “Paranormal Activity“. Both of these movies came out in 2007, but have finally been released to the public as of late. These movies are, by far, two of the best horror movies out there. I highly suggest watching them! To all of you Haunters, I wish you luck on your last day to decorate. Today is the big hustle and bustle day to get everything complete. May the rain stay away for today and Saturday! For last-minute ideas with costumes, decorations, creepy candy – anything – check out HalloweenForum. The members, including myself, are more than willing to answer any and all of your questions quickly. Happy Haunting, and Happy Halloween!

Haunt 101: How-To

I created a new page to the site called “Haunt 101: How-To”. I have written down some basic instructions, tips, and ideas to include in your haunt. I made this mainly for beginner Haunters, but everyone can use a few reminders from time to time! Check it out here: Haunt 101: How-To. As well, please let me know if there is something you wish for me to add, and I will gladly do so! I plan on updating that page a lot, to include more and more. Enjoy, and Happy Halloween!

Haunters of Virginia Society

Hey all,

We recently organized the Haunters of Virginia Society on the HalloweenForum.com forums. This society is basically for anyone who lives in Virginia and loves Halloween. Everyone is welcome to join. By joining, it will be easier to locate fellow Virginian Haunters and Haunts – and possibly allow you to meet some of the VA Haunters! Click on the picture or link below to head over there now! Also, if you aren’t part of the HalloweenForum.com forums, please do join up! You’ll be able to receive tons of help in regards to anything related to Halloween!

The Hauntary – 2009 Game

For our party, we used a video I created to kick-start a game we had planned for our guests. After the video had completed, the game was explained; 15 Classic/Modern Horror Movie props were scattered through-out the house. Guests were given a sheet of paper with the list of the Movies chosen. They then had to search for the props associated with each movie. The winner received a DVD of Sweeney Todd. It was a hit! Everyone enjoyed, or seemed to enjoy, the game. I combined two Saw clips and added my own counter. The one in the video counts down for 2:00 minutes, which was later cut down to 1:00 minute. Let me know what you all think .
