EVERYONE feels a sense of unsure nervousness sharing their achievements of their home haunt that is, until the screams start and the puddles are left on the pavement! Day runs are always going to look lackluster, that's the reason why its all painted black and done at night! Keep haunting! I hope that each and every year you have a more awesome event!
Definitely setup some fog (I recommend bog fog) and itll elevate the atmosphere a ton. Also I highly recommend setting up motion or beam controllers for your props, at least Mr. Dark.
@@sevian3066 There was fog last year. I just had it off for the walk through. And also, with the tent set up, the fog machine quickly fills the room a bit too much. I'm re-thinking the idea of adding fog INSIDE a tent from now on.
I use the Tingler plot with my haunts. I always tell the trick or treaters to scream if they find themselves getting scared. It's a way to stop the spooks from getting you. Best part is the pretend trick or treaters who play along to really sell the scares.
looks great! you had some great ideas. you know all animatronics are able to be used in motion detection mode. so mr dark doesn’t have to be on step pad. there’s a lot of work that could be used on tarp management by using. tape to tie down lose edges maybe a staple gun where it can be used to cut back on zip ties. i’ve been doing this for a few years now and have spent somewhere near $10000 on building. diy haunted houses can be fun but takes a lot of effort and planing. these are just ideas that have worked for me in the past. your lighting looks pretty good and honestly you did really well just a few adjustments could make it better.
Thinking about doing something like this for Halloween. Super love the use of tents, showing you don’t have to build it out of wood and metal and all that.
First of all Mr Dark is amazing, the extreme height of a dark figure is an instant scare for most people, if you have to look up to see what it is, then your brain tells you it's danger! Even for adults caught unaware, effective! As for the rest, brilliant, really good atmosphere, this is inspiring to me as I really want to set up one of these but on a more terrifying level, nice touch with little girl jumping out from around the corner, I bet she had a great time doing that!
That’s fantastic, we did a small maze in our garage one year, was a lot of fun and the community really got the word out. Had so many trick-or-treaters that year.
Like the use of the Ez Ups. We usually have tarps hanging from our Ez Ups to save on trash. Great job and way to utilize the space. Happy 2022 Halloween!
Nice job! I used to be in charge of doing our Home Owners Assc. Haunted house. I Divided our clubhouse up into sections and walkways with PVC pipe framework. One of the dark narrow hallways I hung 1# test fishing line from the ceiling down to about shoulder level, it simulated walking through spider webs, it really freaked a lot of people out.
Nice. I made a haunted tunnel in my yard this year, and was contemplating using pop up tents next year. Because it was A LOT of work to get everything up this year
Really cool stuff...I was thinking of making one a lot like this but in a more oldschool style, neon paint and all, maybe some pnumatic jumpscares, with literal bells and whistles, but that'll have to come later down the line. Already have a rubber bat from Dollar General that I painted up to look like it came from Funni-Frite in the 70's, lol. Thanks for pointing out the dropping device from spirit, if I can manage to find one that'll be helpful.
I like your ideas. My favorite thing about all of this is the creativity and freedom to create as you wish. Pop scares are common, everywhere. But creative scenes are beautifully admired.
@@whitewebshaunt4798 Totally agree...on that note of creative scenes I _would_ like it to be something cool to look at, not just generic jumpscares. Think Bill Tracy in terms of artistic design. I actually did have the idea to make it like a mini Pirates Cove speaking of Bill, more of a funhouse with cool art and effects.
Absolutely a team effort! I always find myself stuck inside the haunts as an actor. It'd be nice to step back and enjoy it from a far, but you know what they say... If you want something done right...
Thanks, Melissa! I love that sort of reaction. Halloween is such an exciting time - the ONLY time everyone hits the streets just to have fun and check out creations.
That turned out great. I wanted to make a small suggestion. I would spray paint the white frames of those tents black. I think they mess up your scenes. At night it’s legit.
For the press plate for the giant animatronic, I would create a rectangular step that would be above the pad. That way, wherever someone steps, they trigger the motion (the rectangular cover plate covering the entire surface area). Also, it would be good to have more scare actors in the haunt. The one you had did a great job! but more would bring it to life
me & my siblings came across a family home during Halloween once. They were able to turn their 2 door garage into a "crawl through" haunted house. You get your candy at the end of the lil maze. The kids of this family would hide inside the maze, grabbing your ankles, scream or pop their heads out in masks. It was a pretty cool lil set up.
Wow that was amazing, I’m planning on doing a canopy maze with some those pvc pipe arch ways to create seperate rooms or walkways to other themes. Awesome use of lighting and props. Did you use a fog machine as well?
Great idea for utilizing a small space I have thought about using my driveway thanks for sharing this it gave me some new ideas only wish I saw this earlier not sure I d have enough time to do something this year being 12 days out
You’re very welcome. A driveway is totally doable. And we sat last year’s haunt (this video) up in about 3-4 days. I didn’t want it all sitting up for much longer out in the front.
The lil monster thing at the end, rubbing its eyes and face was creepy, I don't think it was supposed to look so creepy, just a sleepy kiddo rubbing it's face, but the Improv deranged look was perfect timing 😆
Omg I love this!!! 😍 Would love to do something like this in the UK!! I was like oh thats good... and when everyone was screaming I was like oh it cant be that bad but guess I was wrong 😂 would love to make something like this!!
haha, yeah! Totally go for it. The videos, especially daytime walkthroughs, dont do haunts justice. And I have no intentions of going "fully scary" anyways. I do it for the creativity, the kids, and the entertainment.
You did a great job. I hope you and your family are planning on doing another one next year. I like how you had themed rooms. I really like the tunnel you created. We always go all out decorating the exterior of our "Haunted House". (This takes a lot of time especially when dealing with lights, music, etc.) Our neighborhood loves it...however, we have been talking about doing a haunted house. We want to do something just like this! Thank you for sharing this!!!
You're very welcome. I hope you go through with creating one yourself! Its soo much work, but the neighborhood doesnt forget it. And having fun and creating memories is what its all about.
Gotta love the children's screams of absolute terror and the parents who brought them in there giggling when its an attraction that you built yourself from the ground up with hard work and creativity 😂😂😂
Good job making a diy haunted house that I would have been terrified of 😅 one thing to maybe do if you do this again is make motion sensor animatronics so that people wouldn’t just walk by. But otherwise, it’s amazing!
Thanks for the compliments. A lot of animatronics have faulty sensors. My Mr. Dark, for example, doesn’t have a working sensor. Last year, I used him with a step pad. Check out my new 2022 video. I used a manual switch this time around - much smoother!
@@jackMurray1 here’s a link to another 10x20 tent I bought this year as another addition. It shipped fast and seems decent. a.co/d/dNmDaLt Keep in mind, however: I highly recommend using Husky blast plastic sheeting as the walls in addition to the regular ones. That’s for every pop-up tent.

Awesome, wish i could do that at my house. Too windy. I have to tie My 12 foot skeleton to the flagpole, put about 100 lbs of weight on the base and and it still goes down. My tombstones are made with pvc pipes inside and rebar in the ground and they still wind up at the neighbors house. Last time I put up a pop-up tent within an hour It was down the street.. lol I always wanted to do a haunted house to add to my yard haunt but the wind won’t let me.

This comment is weird 🤔
Thanks for the support, Dustywitch!
I know exactly what you mean!! Everything comes together perfectly at night !!
Sorry everyone. I had the comments turned off. I've turned them on now, and I look forward to lots of feedback and such. =)

Yea
Bruhh what song do you use for your background it’s so soothing I swear
@@whitewebshaunt4798 Whats your favorite scary movie?
I love just how disorienting and good it looks on the inside. I’m sure you gave a lot of people some fun memories.
Here in 2024 with a notebook and pen! Can’t wait to build up to your amazing collection, but a start is a start! Fantastic job!!
@@berrygirlfinn thanks for the kind words. And yes, a start is a start!
I lol'd at all the kids getting scared at the end. Totally worth the effect.
RIGHT?!
That tall man scared me during the day demonstration. This is AWESOME
hahaha! The one who pops up? Yeah, that guy is freakishly scary
@@whitewebshaunt4798 yes, that was AWESOME!!!! I watched the video in GREAT anticipation for them to trigger him....I was NOT disappointed 🤣🤣🤣🤣🏃♂️💨

That sounds pretty cool - and unique!

Looks so good!
It was! Thank you!
Thinking about doing something like this for Halloween. Super love the use of tents, showing you don’t have to build it out of wood and metal and all that.
This is amazing, definitely something that i’ll consider for halloween, truly inspiring!
Turned out great! That was very creative and spooky I’m sure that madeuju everyone’s night! Everyone did a wonderful job! 👻💀🧟♀️
A labor of love! Can't wait to watch and be inspried and also see your haunt for 2022!
me too! This year is going to be BIG. I've invested soooooo much these last few months and the haunted house build has officially started!
@@whitewebshaunt4798 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
This was so much fun! Great job! I would be screaming with the rest of the kids! Thanks also for the POV walkthrough towards the end. Excellent!
I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I appreciate the feedback!
How fun!!! This is so cool!! What a great neighbor you are I bet the families LOVED and APPRECIATED IT!!
They sure did 😀
Wow that was fantastic! There’s a big difference when you gave a tour in the day time but wow when it was dark it was spooky!

Ur too good for this world. You have gone out of you way to make children happy. Thank you!
Wow. Thanks for such supportive words. I really do do all this for the kids and the community ❤️
That’s fantastic, we did a small maze in our garage one year, was a lot of fun and the community really got the word out. Had so many trick-or-treaters that year.
That is awesome! Garage haunts are the backbone of Halloween
Like the use of the Ez Ups. We usually have tarps hanging from our Ez Ups to save on trash. Great job and way to utilize the space. Happy 2022 Halloween!
The neighborhood is going to love this. Great job!!! HAPPY HALLOWEEN 🎃
It was a blast
Love it- especially the alien rubbing it's head- don't know why that just freaked me out
LOL! Those morph bodysuits are so creepy
To hide the pvc pipe, I recommend pipe insulation, it fits perfectly around the pipe, and it’s dark color blends in with the tarp.
Nice job! I used to be in charge of doing our Home Owners Assc. Haunted house. I Divided our clubhouse up into sections and walkways with PVC pipe framework. One of the dark narrow hallways I hung 1# test fishing line from the ceiling down to about shoulder level, it simulated walking through spider webs, it really freaked a lot of people out.
That was a good idea. Thanks for sharing. I think I used your idea to add fishing string in one of the hallways in 2022.
This what we did also at our civic center for several years. Now, we have taken it outside this year as the Spooky Trail!
You did great! I bet the kids loved it!
you bet they did! My son is super hyped for this year's haunt, as well!
That...was...AWESOME!!!!! Thanks for sharing.
Amazing Job!!!!!
Nice. I made a haunted tunnel in my yard this year, and was contemplating using pop up tents next year. Because it was A LOT of work to get everything up this year
Definitely try it. The pop-up tents are such a great investment

Wow Mr Dark is scary! Everything looks like so much fun! The whole scary experience!
Amazing n what team work effort this was...hope to see more this year 🎃👻🎃👻🎃👻🎃
Absolutely a team effort! I always find myself stuck inside the haunts as an actor. It'd be nice to step back and enjoy it from a far, but you know what they say... If you want something done right...
Thank you for this video. My son wants to build one & I have no idea where to start!😅 This indeed has been very helpful. Keep building. 🎃🎃👻💀
Making memories and inspiring others to bring people together. Love your work 😎
Absolutely. Thats whats its all about.
Wow! That was pretty amazing for such a small space to work with. I LOVE IT! Are you going to do one this year?
Yeah. We're doing a BIG ONE this year. It's gonna be epic.
I like how great he builded it I like it very creative and very well made I swear I wanna go in the haunted mansion
Love this ! Think next year I’m doing 👀
Go for it!
This looks so fun!! Good Job Friend!!
THIS IS AWESOME!!!! I gotta try and make something like this! You are amazing and I know your house is the buzz for Halloween!!!! ❤
Thanks, Melissa! I love that sort of reaction. Halloween is such an exciting time - the ONLY time everyone hits the streets just to have fun and check out creations.
The kids getting scares at the wnd is so funny😂 spirit halloweens jumping spider would work well with the spiders
I like your tent idea.
Thanks!
Love your haunted house! I want to do a haunted house this year. This video is great for a beginner.
Glad you liked it! I hope I was able to inspire you 😀
We do pretty much the same. Even the ending is the same. So years we build a squeeze wall. Glad to see someone else do this
That’s sick! Make sure you post some videos of the squeeze wall.
@@whitewebshaunt4798 I'm not building the squeeze wall this year. But it's in my videos
That's really awesome. Good job
This is awesome!! Youve definitely helped with ideas, thankyou for sharing
All in a day’s work. Lol. Thanks for your feedback.
Awesome!! Great job!!

very very cool!! great job :)
Fun, you inspired me to do my very first walk-through. Thanks and Happy Halloween 🎃!

That looked like really scary and would be worth a pay pre view it's that good.
😏 thanks.
I'm always wanting to do something a little extra for Halloween. I suppose I ought to do one of these at some point.
@@jamlym4974 it’s totally worth it. The kids appreciate all the effort

This is so cool. You did a great job keep up the good work
Thank you so much!
Wow that spider tunnel looked awesome. Definitely stealing some of your ideas 😇
Stealing ideas is just part of the creation process 😉
Love this, here in the UK around October time though, the weather is really bad with wind and rain so our pop ups nearly blow away 🤣🤣
Oh man! I spend each October praying to the weather gods 🤪😂. But in all actuality, the tents withstand any windstorms or heavy rains pretty well.
This is awesome ❤thank you for sharing
Great job man that’s amazing. Home haunts are the best
Gotta love the children's screams of absolute terror and the parents who brought them in there giggling when its an attraction that you built yourself from the ground up with hard work and creativity 😂😂😂
Hahaha! Yeah, for sure! I do the same thing with my kids 😂😂
🙏🏽 thanks for the idea!
This looks great good job man
Thanks for the compliment, Bill.
Beautiful!
That was good that's all you need for a haunted house
great job!
Thanks
I also recommend scents from Froggys Fog, perfect for any haunt.
This is awesome! I want to do it this year. I love the umbrella turning and the scary women inside. How did you do that?
Thanks for the feedback. She’s an animatronic I got from Spirit Halloween some years ago.

Hey, I am working on my own haunted house for the second year. What 10x20 tent did you use? Could you send a link?
@@jackMurray1 here’s a link to another 10x20 tent I bought this year as another addition. It shipped fast and seems decent.

Keep in mind, however: I highly recommend using Husky blast plastic sheeting as the walls in addition to the regular ones. That’s for every pop-up tent.
Awesome work!! 🎃🎃🎃🎃
You’re a great neighbor to your neighborhood!
I want to do something like this for the kids in my subdivision. I hope that you will be able to answer some of my questions . Thank you for this video.
so awesome
Thanks
This is pretty cool for the neighborhood kids. Good for you . These Knotts berry farm / universal ticket prices are getting ridiculous
Haha, Mr dark def got some good scares
yeah, he did!
So cool!
It’s funny to see Michael Myers conscious of his hairstyle. A nice comb over 😂
Great job 👏 where the anamitronic is scarry I need one
Love it !
This is awesome
Awesome, wish i could do that at my house. Too windy. I have to tie My 12 foot skeleton to the flagpole, put about 100 lbs of weight on the base and and it still goes down.

The kid @ 9:46 had me dying 🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣👍 he was like ok maybe might not be so bad nvm I'm not having it
lol! seriously!
Bro for a diythis came out better than amazing, you habe inspired me to do something like this next year.
Thanks! I’m glad to have inspired you. Halloween is all about celebrating each other’s creativity, imagination, and just having fun! I say, Go for it!
Awesome Job!
Thanks!
