The Haunted Build

What turns up on the pallet

The Haunted House build. Every piece, and why it is in there.

1. 1The Scream · 16.4 ftHead at the upstairs windows. This is the one they see from the end of the road.
2. 2The Crawling ZombieLow on the path where nobody looks. Batteries and a remote, no cable across the lawn.
3. 3Two Haunted ProjectorsTwo windows lit at once, so the house looks occupied rather than decorated.
4. 4The flying witchHung off the porch on a line. She moves in any wind.
5. 5Fog machine and chillerThe chiller is the whole trick — it keeps the fog on the ground instead of in the trees.
6. 6Six flood lightsOrange, green and purple. These are the colours that make fog read at night.
7. 7Sixteen tombstonesEnough to make a graveyard rather than a row.
8. 8Four ground-breaker armsHands coming up out of the grass between the stones.
9. 9The inflatable archwayOver the path, so they walk through something to reach the door.
10. 10150 ft of orange lightsThe gutter line and the fence. The frame everything else sits inside.
11. 11Outdoor speaker and trackBehind the graves, never on the porch. Sound coming from the dark is the difference.
