Mixing It Up A Bit

This year we're going to shake things up a bit by changing the traffic flow of the haunt. In the past TOT would enter our first room and make their way through the other rooms etc. and exit by strolling (running) through The UnDead Cemetery and crossing the Trool Bridge. We have done it the same for 7 years and are ready for a change. In 2009 we will start in the cemetery and exit out the last room. A change in the flow will hopefull slow folks down a bit so that they can see some of the work we put into the details of each scare zone. And besides, slowing the trick or treaters down makes it easier for and my zombie pals to catch them and eat their brains.

And so it begins

While many folks are looking forward to the end of school and summer vacation, the caretakers at The UnDead Cemetery are hard at work on the plans for the 2009 haunt season. Little do our visitors know that months of planning and building are required to put together a Home Haunt. It's like the Wizzard in The Wizzard of Oz; they have no idea what goes on behind the curtains. Don't get me wrong, we like it that way. If you know how a magic trick is created it's not nearly as impressive.
Even though we try to have different scares in each of our zones we usually try to work with a new theme each year. A theme gives you a bit of a guideline to follow so that you don't start a bunch of projects that you can't possibly finish. Our theme for 2009 is "The Zombie Zone" so you can expect to see a few brain eaters walking around.
