@@JeramieLu HI ! Luved your haunted attraction😁 I've worked in & on many shows at Great Adventure & have done many Fright Feasts. Very clever job!🤗 With cheap form plastic, spray with paint, insert a small stick that goes in the ground to make grave markers, get a few cheap plastic arms with hands could go in front of some graves or a plastic skull, duck tape a small tent stake or stick to insert in the ground. Will leave it to you for the lighting. The channel site I gave you could give you lots of fog tips. Maybe ck out some mall stores & see if they have any managins they really don't use any more, they might just give them to you for added fun. Channel Lemon BMX might help you with some cool fog effects if you ever decide to use them. We did a 'Thriller Show' where cast members looking like Zomies danced a round a hearse & our big pro fog machine got stick and just kept going but it turned out really cool!! The audience luved it. Sometimes mistakes work.😉 You can use simple wire and put paper soaked in dough mix & water and put some layers on it and spray paint to water proof and make you own fun or creepy stuff. Again alot cheaper & light weight. Have alot of fun and take care. "HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!"
It broke my heart to hear how you feel about Halloween and that nobody in your neighborhood really took the time to acknowledge it or to make it a thing. Halloween is a HUGE part of my life and has been since I was a kid! I hope that this helped to bring some life back onto your street and I hope it carries into the next several years! Happy Halloween!!!!
When you said you are a dad I got really emotional because I don’t exactly have one and I just want to say your kid(s) are so lucky to have such a cool dad🙂
Awwww yessss!! Reminds me of when I was a kid and our neighbors used to do this. I haven't forgotten about it 40 years later, and I imagine the kids in your neighborhood will remember your place as the coolest house on the block for many years to come. The kids are going to love it!
So awesome! The only thing I’d recommend for safety is a dedicated entrance and separate exit. One way in and back out the same way could create a problem.
I was thinking the same thing. I wouldnt want them to run into each other and /or damage the wall runging out or bumping into each other. I would suggest exit off the porch if possible or make a maze like you did and then curve it to the backyard or something and have people there with safety organe lighted cones for directions and rope it off, etc. hit me up for ideas.Also i would either spray paint the PVC poles with glow in the dark pint or spray paint them black or dark brown o conseal them more and blend well with the walls. But this is so wonderful I love your spirit. Way to go DAD of the year!!
Yep. My children are 32 and 38 now 😢. I miss those days so much!!!!! We went all out when they were little. I don’t even get to see my grandchildren because they All live so far away. My daughter sends me a picture of her children every year in their Halloween costumes. So adorable. Glad you are doing this. Thank you for sharing.
No matter what I build for my Halloween yard I always end up going back to Home depo a million times for more pvc and parts. Very cool build hope you do it again this year. We add a couple things every year. More and more kids have been coming by ever since we started. It really is the perfect way to start bringing your neighborhood back to life. After a couple years you will start noticing the neighbors doing little by little also. You could be just what is needed to bring the spirit of Halloween to a new generation
I did a haunted house like this in my neighborhood! It brings so many people to the neighborhood every year! It's so easy to do! I anchored mine to the ground to make it more stable, I also used contractors black plastic which is fire retardant incase anything were to happen.
@@JeramieLu tent anchors you can get at walmart that screw into the ground and the nylon braided cord go from one side wrap around top pole run it diagonally and wrap around and use those anchors they work great! I've had people run into walls and they don't budge you can also use 2 x 1s and frame every other section like you would a door. I did this along with the tent anchors and used screws to secure the 2x1s to the pvc along with zip ties!
Chicken beer and haunted house. Bro!! Wish i was your neighbor lol! Great job. And props for bringing halloween into your neigbborhood. As a dad, thats why i do it too. Creating those memories!
The year I moved into my first house we had zero trick or treaters on Halloween. Like you, I decided to build a haunted house to create some excitement in the neighborhood for Halloween. By the time I moved out (3 years ago), over 100 kids were coming by. I'm interested to hear about your turnout.
Jeramie Lu your making one this year!? I’m so excited! I’m buying a Killer Klowns from outer space costume and was wanting to make a maze decorated to specifically killer klowns from outer space but sadly, I don’t have the money
When there's more time, maybe run a spray of black paint along the white piping once it's installed, and I use layers of cheap brown and black tulle netting against the inside of my black plastic for a different effect. Thanks for making the world a more fun place!
When I was growing up there was this one guy who would always make a little haunted house walk thru in his garage, and every year it was always different & super fucking cool! I'm 22 now & I still remember that, so you're doing an awesome thing for all of those kids that will go thru your haunted house! Itll definitely be something that they'll all remember & remember how cool and fun it was years from now. Bcus I remember how awesome the haunted house I went too in my neighborhood as a kid, so I know you'll leave an impression on all those kids that will now love coming to your house each Halloween & your house will definitely be their favorite! 🖤👻🖤👻🖤
Hey, a couple day start and virtually zero budget used, I think this is an awesome yard haunt! There is a large community for yard haunts you have just become a part of; keep Halloween alive bro, keep it going for the younger generations.
To get rid of your sagging and to support the roof, you can add "Y" couplings for corner bracing. Think triangles in each corner for strength. You could also insert a dowel into the PVC too make it stiffer. WARNING: The black plastic from a home improvement store is HIGHLY FLAMMABLE, and cannot be made flame retardant. You can buy non flammable plastic from a convention supplier, or you can by cloth that comes flame resistance or can be treated. MUCH safer. I look forward to what you do this year!
Awesome job. I’m a home haunter myself and enjoy seeing people get excited over Halloween. The world needs more happiness considering everything that’s happened over the last few years.
The world could use more adults like you. Setting up a simple yard haunt and some candy gives priceless memories to kids now that trick or treating is almost a thing of the past. I hope you will save that stuff and add a little more every year. When I was too old to trick or treat I would set up yard haunts with my friends or volunteer with the local haunted houses. I'm seeing neighbors and communities collaborating to give children the fun we used to have as kids.
That is how it is here where I live it is so sad now when I moved to the neighborhood I live in when I was 11 there where a lot of people handing out candy but now I’m 29 years old and I have 3 kids a 3 year old a 2 year old and a 2 month old and now there is no one that gives out candy so we have to drive a while to another place for my kids to get candy.... it feels like no one cares about the children anymore 😢. So good for u for doing this for the children
Love this! My parents always did a haunted house for kids in our neighborhood and as my siblings and I got older, we kept it going. I just moved to Lake Tahoe and I'm hoping to do one up here this year. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see your post for 2019!
So cool! Brings back memories from when me and my friends did our haunted house with our drama class back in high school. It was quite an experience scaring everyone that walked through. I was a butcher 🔪 in a butcher shop and I had a spot where I would hide and jumped out holding a fake plastic butchers knife and a plastic arm and the area of where I was had all kinds of fake dead bodies both on the ground and on a table. And I remember I scared so many people that walked through especially in my section. It was an amazing Halloween 🎃 experience! And btw your idea was very good and very clever!
Thank you for this! I’m only 11, but my friends and I decided to do a haunted house! Quarantine addition. One person/group at a time, masks required, and free for all killer theme. We’re doing dog walking to raise some money! Wish us luck!
Jeramie Lu thank you! I’d be glad to post it on my channel. I’ve done a Halloween video before, I believe. But I’ve never done anything like this. I know it should be interesting. Do you have any tips? After all, I’m just a middle schooler lol.
UK here, dude you totally Rock........I'm in a similar position..I decorate every year and it gets a bit bigger and the local kids love it as Where we live not many do big displays like this... Thanks' for some great ideas...keep on keepin on matey.
This is so awesome. I want to do this but just stairs leading up to my house I have no babies but really love Halloween and our world needs more people like you and folks to make others smile. This was great! Great ideas!!
Dude, this is SO AWESOME! All the kids looked like they had so much fun! This is what Halloween is about, props to you for bringing back the Halloween spirit in your neighborhood when you noticed the spirit of the holiday was being lost. You did a great and amazing thing, and I hope you make it a tradition and keep doing it.
We used PVC Pipe last year for our haunted house This year we are using 2 10x10 pop up canopies, our house is similar to yours so we can use the breezeway and small garage as well Fun video and fun project Thanks for sharing
Super stoked to see someone energized to get the kids involved...however, after my first yr of doing almost exactly what you did, I realized I had to make things more sturdy, because some kids are rough and dont care. The kids break something, or like I had happen, I jad 2 kids break thru the structure on purpose and one kid fell and the parents threatened to sue for faulty construction and the yelling and screaming killed the mood for the whole crowd and almost everyone left. I had multiple signs up that said this is not a commercial attraction and to please no touch, lean or pull on the walls or any of the props, and obviously that didnt even work. I've since moved on to the cheap 10x20 canopies from menards. $99, super sturdy, easy to and easy down, and I used automotive rubberized under coating to paint the white canopy covers. Its flexible and has lasted 4 yrs so far. It can also be used on the poles, but tape off where the pipes slide into each other. Easiest way is to assemble and the frame and then paint it...hope this helps fellow haunter...keep the spirit alive and keep growing. Mad props again for frying to bring the holiday back to life in your neighborhood. Take care
I built mine with pallets for years, and every year after Halloween we'd have to give away all of the pallets, it would take me months to find pallets and build all for one night. I stopped when the wifey said no more pallets. But the PVC idea might get me building again. The neighborhood always had a blast going through my haunted house.
We made a haunted garage for the first time in 2021 and put on a show for the community for free. It was so much fun! I love how you built yours! Great Job!
Thanks for adding this video - great idea with the plastic sheeting! It's thick and doesn't rip (much better than the dollar tree tablecloths I was using before), and still cheaper than cloth! Looking forward to using that idea for my home haunt this year.
I think for 2019 the easiest way is buying like 3 -2 tents put them together and cover it with black plastic, for it to be more safer for children. I know its a bit more money, but it better to waste a bit more money than having a children get injury,plus you can use those tents when you go to the beach or for halloween 2020, its a good investment
you did a great job!!! I have been doing a Haunted House/Maze at my home for around 13 years. Started with PVC but now we use "EZ UP" style pop up tents---a lot easier to deal with and more stable. Last year I even found some 5' x 5' pop up tents (they are usually 10x10 size) which work perfect in some of the smaller/more narrow areas of the property. Depending on what day Halloween falls on, we usually get between 500---1000 people that come through in a 3 or 4 hour span.
We're going on our 4th year of our haunted house using similar building materials. If you're looking for even more stability, we put insulation xps foam panels on the roof. Keeps the rain out and increases stability twofold. Looks great though.
@@JeramieLu Yeah... We buy it from Home Depot, but I'm sure it's the same. White foam with reflective foil on one side (Reflects light nicely for cool effects). The brand is R-Tech Insulfoam.
Thanks for the idea! My neighbor is trying to out decorate me 🤨 so this might be the next step 😁 I got a huge backyard, so I think the poles would stick good in the ground. 👌 Have them go through the garage out to back and come out the side! Excited thinking about it 🧟♂️🧟♀️👹👻👺👾🙈 Happy Halloween soon! 🎃 2019!
@@alyssamurphy7792 uugh! 😔 I'm the "GO ALL OUT PERSON" was in prep to buy 2 badass animatronics, pipping and all. Plans of friends dressing up etc. But the GM strike had a domino effect. Monday I got the laid off call, until further notice. Sorry for life story but Halloween is my fav time of year! And I'm just bummed about everything. 😞 But there is always next year! I can get some good discounts, props after halloween and more planning. I want to upload it on my channel as well. 😊
@@labellav1103 yeah I live in Wentzville Missouri, right down the street from the GM plant. So I've seen all the craziness that's happened from it. But I dont blame them all for going on strike! They all deserve a pay raise and to get their insurance back! But I hope your Halloween plans work out! Halloween is my all time favorite time of the year.
@@alyssamurphy7792 yes for sure! I totally understand. Im in Michigan so it's all over 😔 just sucks because obviously the assembly plants ✋ get affected as well. I just pray that it gets resolved soon. And thank you! Same to you! 🧟♀️🧟♂️🤡👺👹💀💞🎃
keep it up bro!! had same scenario here. very few kids. this was our second year of having a haunted yard and actually had a tractor pulling a wagon with about 50 people do 3 rds this year. it was pretty neat. have noticed our neighbors getting more into too!
Absolutely brilliant! I get you though. We were the same. We live in Scotland and where we live, not many people had done Halloween. Like you, we moved near our parents and they had always done Halloween. 7 years later, we have one of the busiest streets in our village. Tons of kids and loads of houses now doing Halloween. Amazing time of the year! :) well done for your efforts and I do hope to see your project this year!
Love the design! Couple ideas you could look at. Use 1/14 pvc it’s a little stronger, use traps instead of plastic for walls, shower curtains for doorways. I wish you the best looks great.
Nice work on the maze. Now your addicted! Every year it will get bigger. I love the smell of that black plastic tarp. It's like a cherry smell. It's like heaven just to sit in the maze and smell the plastic and lumber. I'll have to take a look at your photo stuff. I do a little photography as well.
Thanks for the video! I'm making a haunted enclosure this year going up my driveway (very similar idea to yours) and I appreciate the time you took to share your process, the setbacks, and outcome. Great video! Thanks for sharing!
You my friend are freaking awesome. I would LOVE to be your neighbor. I am kinda in the same situation. My neighbors are lame and they all keep to themselves..... Your kids are going to have some amazing memories. Thanks for the video. I will be doing this myself. Happy Halloween 2019
David McBrayer I lived next door to a policeman. He dressed up like Michael the guy from Halloween and stood out in the street scaring people as they drove by. It was hilarious.
Looks great I started my haunted tunnel to bring kids back to my neighborhood too. I got the entire neighborhood involved with it too. Alot of the parents and kids all work inside of it to scare people. Look up snapclamps to hold up the tarp to the PVC pipe. Works great.
Thanks for the tip on snap clamps. I wanted to build a creepy shelter out of pvc that I already have so I can display my animatronics outside without worrying so much about the elements and I think snap clamps will work perfectly!
No problem. I do a 150 foot tunnel between my house and my neighbors house and this is my 4/5 year doing it. The snap clamps are perfect and instead of tape on the joints you and just use small screws.
I used to work for Universal Studios and Disney as well as Universal Studios theme park during the holidays. I built my haunted house out of wooden pallets, it was 100% kid safe but I made it to realistic, had the police called me, It was The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2003 theme. Needless to say, parents took more pictures of the set and once Leather face came out, the fear on the parents is what I was shooting for and it was priceless. If the kids see the fear in their own parents, that tripled their fear.
OMG Jeramie! I didn't think anyone else would understand about getting depressed at Halloween when you get no trick or treaters! Unfortunately my problem is not as easily fixed as yours. My family moved out to an acreage about 4 years ago, and while it has been great for getting livestock and for privacy, it is too far out of town for trick or treaters and to bother decorating. I sure miss Halloween. I am scared I am losing my Halloween spirit. Thank you for sharing your creativity.
Well done with the haunted house. The props and little kiddo actors are great too. The only thing it need is a separate entrance and exit. So that way the foot traffic is flowing evenly one way. 😁👍
This is an older video, but this exactly the inspiration I'm looking for. It's so sad seeing how Halloween just isn't how it used to be when I was a kid. This year I'll just have to use whatever I can find in the garage, plus a few cheap Amazon finds, but it should still be a fun little project with the kids.
dude, thanks for your hard work and video, giving back to your neighborhood and community is a blessing, your video has inspired me to do one very similar this year! thanks for your inspiration
It’s awesome that you brought Halloween to your neighborhood and it was well done for being finished quickly. As a haunter, I just feel the need to bring up one thing. When doing a setup like this, black plastic is not the safest material to use. While I’m sure you took safety in mind and it likely wasn’t a concern, IF there is a fire that with material, it is catastrophic. Not only does it throw melting plastic everywhere but it’s also extremely toxic to breathe in the smoke. There are other materials available, though many aren’t super cheap. This plastic seems like such a great option because it’s cheap and effective but it can be dangerous. Regardless, you did something you should be very proud of. Halloween is dying in neighborhoods across the country and it’s up to people like us to create displays and home haunts to entice the young ones to keep coming.
Thank you for the comment and I agree. Although we did have extra extinguishers and monitored it closely it was something I was worried about. What other materials would you suggest?
Great job for a first year build and I loved your reasoning for doing it. Keep it up but beware, it gets addictive. I have been doing them for about 11 years and they just keep getting bigger every year. My attic is full now. lol. Happy Halloween yall
That is super awesome!!! We do one in our garage every year for an annual Halloween party!!! My hubby has to rearrange the whole garage just to put it up!!! Lol but so worth it! We usually have 50 people here and some people ask to go through it.
This is Awesome! I feel your pain. I grew up trick or treating. My parents always made it special. Over the years it’s just not what it used to be. Because Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, it works out perfect me and my work schedule so I’m already planning. I got some great ideas from your haunt. Thank you for sharing. Happy Haunting my friend.
I am going to make my first haunted house this year. I plan to do a maze with the walls being tarps. I also will have a motorized zip line that will move a couple of ghoul props going though the maze and into a couple of the tarp walls. I’m very anxious for it to work because of trial and error for over a year to perfect it. I hope yours goes awesome as planned!
I’m doing a haunted forest this year which is basically made of standing branches and a few homemade trees. But I was thinking I might also just put up some black plastic to make it feel more enclosed.
Careful! It's starts with plastic and pvc and never ends 🎃!!! Soon you'll have foggers, animated props, and a line of families down the street that come back year after year! Happy Halloween!
That's how ours started.. in our living room then patio then we've moved it out to our entire large backyard, animatr, fog lots of wires, more lighting and extension cords.. prayomg walls don't fall down. Weather stays nice and it didn't get hot inside house like last time.
Awesome job especially considering you did it last minute! We're doing our first walkthrough this year and I'm building a maze in the driveway (hopefully on a budget 😂) so this was totally inspiring and gave me tons of good ideas!
I feel your pain with the rebuilding problem! I'm in Melbourne, Australia and it's always windy as all hell and often rains, in the days preceding Halloween! Last year, 2021, I purchased 2 brand new aluminium marquees and they got totally destroyed 2 days before Halloween, so we had to scramble to put the haunted house into the large double garage! Meant moving a heap of things around which made getting ready on time a complete nightmare! I do leave mine up at least a week for late comers and people too busy with their own display to get to mine on the actual night.
You can add pop up canopy tents for quick rooms. I made a house out of 5 of them I like the idea of pvc piping I can use that for hallways to each room. Thanks for the video.
Jeramie Lu I thought I did but can’t find them. It was an Asylum theme. basically used room(tent) 1 for a Dr torturing a patient on a table, Room 2 the tent was lowered so you had to duck into it. This had a patient in solitary confinement, room 3 was shock therapy. And room 4 had 2 tents together to Mark it bigger and it was the patients taking over the doctors and running wild. It was small not many props but people were complaining is on the job for such a small house. It helped that I had a bunch of high school kids that were in drama as the actors.
Everyone!!!! If you are wondering why it is published in March (which I have no idea why anyone cares when I published it) please note that I’m not a UA-camr.

I was thinking the same thing. I wouldnt want them to run into each other and /or damage the wall runging out or bumping into each other. I would suggest exit off the porch if possible or make a maze like you did and then curve it to the backyard or something and have people there with safety organe lighted cones for directions and rope it off, etc. hit me up for ideas.Also i would either spray paint the PVC poles with glow in the dark pint or spray paint them black or dark brown o conseal them more and blend well with the walls.

I appreciate the kind words. Its all for the kids and taking that extra effort to make some amazing memories for them.
Drill small holes through the coupler and pipe and secure with small zip ties. Use colored paint to mark your joints to match up next year.

To get rid of your sagging and to support the roof, you can add "Y" couplings for corner bracing. Think triangles in each corner for strength. You could also insert a dowel into the PVC too make it stiffer. WARNING: The black plastic from a home improvement store is HIGHLY FLAMMABLE, and cannot be made flame retardant. You can buy non flammable plastic from a convention supplier, or you can by cloth that comes flame resistance or can be treated. MUCH safer. I look forward to what you do this year!
Great idea!!! I am thinking of doing wood this year but not sure yet. Thank you.
Awesome job. I’m a home haunter myself and enjoy seeing people get excited over Halloween. The world needs more happiness considering everything that’s happened over the last few years.
Tip: Number your pipe ends like 1,1 2,2 3,3 so on it makes it easier year after year
Tip: Always have ABC fire extinguisher
I like that... Although this year it was pretty easy to get them where I needed cause I change the design all the time.
you mate are a true legend!!!! kids need more people like you
Wow... Thank you for the support!
The world could use more adults like you. Setting up a simple yard haunt and some candy gives priceless memories to kids now that trick or treating is almost a thing of the past. I hope you will save that stuff and add a little more every year. When I was too old to trick or treat I would set up yard haunts with my friends or volunteer with the local haunted houses. I'm seeing neighbors and communities collaborating to give children the fun we used to have as kids.
Wow... thank you for the kind words. I am excited to see what we can do this year.
Great work, thank you for saving Halloween in your neighborhood!
Thank you for that!!
That is how it is here where I live it is so sad now when I moved to the neighborhood I live in when I was 11 there where a lot of people handing out candy but now I’m 29 years old and I have 3 kids a 3 year old a 2 year old and a 2 month old and now there is no one that gives out candy so we have to drive a while to another place for my kids to get candy.... it feels like no one cares about the children anymore 😢. So good for u for doing this for the children
That is the worst!!! But with this project more and more people are coming every year.
Love this! My parents always did a haunted house for kids in our neighborhood and as my siblings and I got older, we kept it going. I just moved to Lake Tahoe and I'm hoping to do one up here this year. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see your post for 2019!
Thank you so much!!! Its been so much fun!
So cool! Brings back memories from when me and my friends did our haunted house with our drama class back in high school. It was quite an experience scaring everyone that walked through. I was a butcher 🔪 in a butcher shop and I had a spot where I would hide and jumped out holding a fake plastic butchers knife and a plastic arm and the area of where I was had all kinds of fake dead bodies both on the ground and on a table. And I remember I scared so many people that walked through especially in my section. It was an amazing Halloween 🎃 experience! And btw your idea was very good and very clever!
That sounds amazing! I was debating how scary to actually make it!
Thank you for this! I’m only 11, but my friends and I decided to do a haunted house! Quarantine addition. One person/group at a time, masks required, and free for all killer theme. We’re doing dog walking to raise some money! Wish us luck!
That sounds amazing! Good luck and I would love to see the finished product!
Jeramie Lu thank you! I’d be glad to post it on my channel. I’ve done a Halloween video before, I believe. But I’ve never done anything like this. I know it should be interesting. Do you have any tips? After all, I’m just a middle schooler lol.
UK here, dude you totally Rock........I'm in a similar position..I decorate every year and it gets a bit bigger and the local kids love it as Where we live not many do big displays like this...
Thanks' for some great ideas...keep on keepin on matey.
Thank you!!!! It was a fun project and I have a couple more years after this one. We gotta keep the fun alive!
This is so awesome. I want to do this but just stairs leading up to my house I have no babies but really love Halloween and our world needs more people like you and folks to make others smile. This was great! Great ideas!!
THank you!!!
Dude, this is SO AWESOME! All the kids looked like they had so much fun! This is what Halloween is about, props to you for bringing back the Halloween spirit in your neighborhood when you noticed the spirit of the holiday was being lost. You did a great and amazing thing, and I hope you make it a tradition and keep doing it.
Thank you for the amazing words!
We used PVC Pipe last year for our haunted house This year we are using 2 10x10 pop up canopies, our house is similar to yours so we can use the breezeway and small garage as well Fun video and fun project Thanks for sharing
That sounds awesome. I know there are so many ways to make this happen!
Super stoked to see someone energized to get the kids involved...however, after my first yr of doing almost exactly what you did, I realized I had to make things more sturdy, because some kids are rough and dont care. The kids break something, or like I had happen, I jad 2 kids break thru the structure on purpose and one kid fell and the parents threatened to sue for faulty construction and the yelling and screaming killed the mood for the whole crowd and almost everyone left. I had multiple signs up that said this is not a commercial attraction and to please no touch, lean or pull on the walls or any of the props, and obviously that didnt even work. I've since moved on to the cheap 10x20 canopies from menards. $99, super sturdy, easy to and easy down, and I used automotive rubberized under coating to paint the white canopy covers. Its flexible and has lasted 4 yrs so far. It can also be used on the poles, but tape off where the pipes slide into each other. Easiest way is to assemble and the frame and then paint it...hope this helps fellow haunter...keep the spirit alive and keep growing. Mad props again for frying to bring the holiday back to life in your neighborhood. Take care
Thank you for the amazing words!!
You, sir, are the hero that your neighborhood needs. Bless you.
Thank you!
I built mine with pallets for years, and every year after Halloween we'd have to give away all of the pallets, it would take me months to find pallets and build all for one night. I stopped when the wifey said no more pallets. But the PVC idea might get me building again. The neighborhood always had a blast going through my haunted house.
Play with it. PVC was pretty awesome and easy to store.
We made a haunted garage for the first time in 2021 and put on a show for the community for free. It was so much fun! I love how you built yours! Great Job!
That is awesome! Thank you for sharing!!!!
Thanks for adding this video - great idea with the plastic sheeting! It's thick and doesn't rip (much better than the dollar tree tablecloths I was using before), and still cheaper than cloth! Looking forward to using that idea for my home haunt this year.
It costs a bit more but it works so well!
I think for 2019 the easiest way is buying like 3 -2 tents put them together and cover it with black plastic, for it to be more safer for children. I know its a bit more money, but it better to waste a bit more money than having a children get injury,plus you can use those tents when you go to the beach or for halloween 2020, its a good investment
Thank you for the insight!
you did a great job!!! I have been doing a Haunted House/Maze at my home for around 13 years. Started with PVC but now we use "EZ UP" style pop up tents---a lot easier to deal with and more stable. Last year I even found some 5' x 5' pop up tents (they are usually 10x10 size) which work perfect in some of the smaller/more narrow areas of the property. Depending on what day Halloween falls on, we usually get between 500---1000 people that come through in a 3 or 4 hour span.
I hope to be like this when I have a home. I LOVE this and keeping halloween spirit alive in the neighborhood
Thank you. It was very last minute but so happy I put the effort in.
We're going on our 4th year of our haunted house using similar building materials. If you're looking for even more stability, we put insulation xps foam panels on the roof. Keeps the rain out and increases stability twofold. Looks great though.
Thank you. Can you just find that at lowes? Is it the thin insulation stuff?
@@JeramieLu Yeah... We buy it from Home Depot, but I'm sure it's the same. White foam with reflective foil on one side (Reflects light nicely for cool effects). The brand is R-Tech Insulfoam.
We use those for photography. LOL. I know exactly what you are talking about.
Thanks for the idea! My neighbor is trying to out decorate me 🤨 so this might be the next step 😁 I got a huge backyard, so I think the poles would stick good in the ground. 👌 Have them go through the garage out to back and come out the side! Excited thinking about it 🧟♂️🧟♀️👹👻👺👾🙈 Happy Halloween soon! 🎃 2019!
Good luck! Your house will definitely be the coolest house on the block!
@@alyssamurphy7792 uugh! 😔 I'm the "GO ALL OUT PERSON" was in prep to buy 2 badass animatronics, pipping and all. Plans of friends dressing up etc. But the GM strike had a domino effect. Monday I got the laid off call, until further notice. Sorry for life story but Halloween is my fav time of year! And I'm just bummed about everything. 😞 But there is always next year! I can get some good discounts, props after halloween and more planning. I want to upload it on my channel as well. 😊
@@labellav1103 yeah I live in Wentzville Missouri, right down the street from the GM plant. So I've seen all the craziness that's happened from it. But I dont blame them all for going on strike! They all deserve a pay raise and to get their insurance back!
But I hope your Halloween plans work out! Halloween is my all time favorite time of the year.
@@alyssamurphy7792 yes for sure! I totally understand. Im in Michigan so it's all over 😔 just sucks because obviously the assembly plants ✋ get affected as well. I just pray that it gets resolved soon. And thank you! Same to you! 🧟♀️🧟♂️🤡👺👹💀💞🎃
Good luck!
Excellent ! and the kids will remember your hard work for years to come . You"re an awesome guy !
Thank you!! That means a lot!
keep it up bro!! had same scenario here. very few kids. this was our second year of having a haunted yard and actually had a tractor pulling a wagon with about 50 people do 3 rds this year. it was pretty neat. have noticed our neighbors getting more into too!
Oh wow!
Thanks for the pvc pipe tip! I’m doing my very first haunted house and now know how I’m hanging my black sheets….I think!
Totally... Watch my 2019 videos... I got a few extra things to make that easier too.
Awesome job . Looks like all the kids had a blast . And cant forget the best part . Fries chicken and beer
That is what I am most excited about!
Absolutely brilliant! I get you though. We were the same. We live in Scotland and where we live, not many people had done Halloween. Like you, we moved near our parents and they had always done Halloween. 7 years later, we have one of the busiest streets in our village. Tons of kids and loads of houses now doing Halloween. Amazing time of the year! :) well done for your efforts and I do hope to see your project this year!
That is amazing. IM happy that effort paid off.
Awesome first go man! Great job. I found that a smoke machine adds a spooky touch!
I have 2 this year!!!
Love the design! Couple ideas you could look at. Use 1/14 pvc it’s a little stronger, use traps instead of plastic for walls, shower curtains for doorways. I wish you the best looks great.
Totally... Although the price would have been really high!
Nice work on the maze. Now your addicted! Every year it will get bigger. I love the smell of that black plastic tarp. It's like a cherry smell. It's like heaven just to sit in the maze and smell the plastic and lumber. I'll have to take a look at your photo stuff. I do a little photography as well.
Thank you so much! I have so many ideas! I would love to see your work!
Thanks for the video! I'm making a haunted enclosure this year going up my driveway (very similar idea to yours) and I appreciate the time you took to share your process, the setbacks, and outcome. Great video! Thanks for sharing!
You my friend are freaking awesome. I would LOVE to be your neighbor. I am kinda in the same situation. My neighbors are lame and they all keep to themselves..... Your kids are going to have some amazing memories. Thanks for the video. I will be doing this myself. Happy Halloween 2019
David McBrayer I lived next door to a policeman. He dressed up like Michael the guy from Halloween and stood out in the street scaring people as they drove by. It was hilarious.
Tha nkyou so much for this. Sorry for the delay!!!
EPIC!!!!
Looks great I started my haunted tunnel to bring kids back to my neighborhood too. I got the entire neighborhood involved with it too. Alot of the parents and kids all work inside of it to scare people. Look up snapclamps to hold up the tarp to the PVC pipe. Works great.
Thanks for the tip on snap clamps. I wanted to build a creepy shelter out of pvc that I already have so I can display my animatronics outside without worrying so much about the elements and I think snap clamps will work perfectly!
That is a great idea. I actually use those for photography and didn't even think of using them for this. Crap! LOL... Thank you.
No problem. I do a 150 foot tunnel between my house and my neighbors house and this is my 4/5 year doing it. The snap clamps are perfect and instead of tape on the joints you and just use small screws.
I used to work for Universal Studios and Disney as well as Universal Studios theme park during the holidays. I built my haunted house out of wooden pallets, it was 100% kid safe but I made it to realistic, had the police called me, It was The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2003 theme. Needless to say, parents took more pictures of the set and once Leather face came out, the fear on the parents is what I was shooting for and it was priceless. If the kids see the fear in their own parents, that tripled their fear.
How freaking cool!!! This year some were too scared to even get in!
OMG Jeramie! I didn't think anyone else would understand about getting depressed at Halloween when you get no trick or treaters!
Unfortunately my problem is not as easily fixed as yours. My family moved out to an acreage about 4 years ago, and while it has been great for getting livestock and for privacy, it is too far out of town for trick or treaters and to bother decorating. I sure miss Halloween. I am scared I am losing my Halloween spirit.
Thank you for sharing your creativity.
Well done with the haunted house. The props and little kiddo actors are great too. The only thing it need is a separate entrance and exit. So that way the foot traffic is flowing evenly one way. 😁👍
Thanks for the tips!
This is an older video, but this exactly the inspiration I'm looking for. It's so sad seeing how Halloween just isn't how it used to be when I was a kid. This year I'll just have to use whatever I can find in the garage, plus a few cheap Amazon finds, but it should still be a fun little project with the kids.
dude, thanks for your hard work and video, giving back to your neighborhood and community is a blessing, your video has inspired me to do one very similar this year! thanks for your inspiration
Thank you so much for the support!
I Remember my neighborhood would make haunted house, this is so precious
Thakn you!!! I want this to be a normal thing in my hood.
You had me at chicken and beer. Good job. I love when people get involved with Halloween.
Best part of halloween!
It’s awesome that you brought Halloween to your neighborhood and it was well done for being finished quickly. As a haunter, I just feel the need to bring up one thing. When doing a setup like this, black plastic is not the safest material to use. While I’m sure you took safety in mind and it likely wasn’t a concern, IF there is a fire that with material, it is catastrophic. Not only does it throw melting plastic everywhere but it’s also extremely toxic to breathe in the smoke. There are other materials available, though many aren’t super cheap. This plastic seems like such a great option because it’s cheap and effective but it can be dangerous. Regardless, you did something you should be very proud of. Halloween is dying in neighborhoods across the country and it’s up to people like us to create displays and home haunts to entice the young ones to keep coming.
Thank you for the comment and I agree. Although we did have extra extinguishers and monitored it closely it was something I was worried about. What other materials would you suggest?
Great work. Love it. Ignore hater comments. Keep it up for the kids.
Thank you!!
Great job for a first year build and I loved your reasoning for doing it. Keep it up but beware, it gets addictive. I have been doing them for about 11 years and they just keep getting bigger every year. My attic is full now. lol. Happy Halloween yall
I cant wait to do it again!!!
Looking forward to seeing your haunted house again this year. Make sure you record it, if you have time. And get the kids reactions.
It will be way different but I am excited for the change.
I love the wholesome music set to this horrifying nightmare.
I feel that is usually the scariest. LOL!
That is super awesome!!!
We do one in our garage every year for an annual Halloween party!!! My hubby has to rearrange the whole garage just to put it up!!! Lol but so worth it! We usually have 50 people here and some people ask to go through it.
That is amazing!!
You're kids really don't realize how cool and amazing you are
I hope one day... LOL.
Amazing!! I would recommend putting the plastic on top of the entrance to the candy room!
Totally agree!
Awesome video! Thank you for all the tips, this year I will be scaring my neighbors!!!!!
Did it work?
This is Awesome! I feel your pain. I grew up trick or treating. My parents always made it special. Over the years it’s just not what it used to be. Because Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, it works out perfect me and my work schedule so I’m already planning. I got some great ideas from your haunt. Thank you for sharing. Happy Haunting my friend.
Thank you for the kind words. It is just not the same... I always loved walking through the streets being scared and getting candy. Super simple!
Way to keep childhood fun alive!! 👍
Trying my best!
I am going to make my first haunted house this year. I plan to do a maze with the walls being tarps. I also will have a motorized zip line that will move a couple of ghoul props going though the maze and into a couple of the tarp walls. I’m very anxious for it to work because of trial and error for over a year to perfect it. I hope yours goes awesome as planned!
Cant wait to see!
Good job for your first time. You caught the bug! I remember my first. Now I’m 5 years into it. It only gets bigger every year. LOL
Thank you so much!
I’m doing a haunted forest this year which is basically made of standing branches and a few homemade trees. But I was thinking I might also just put up some black plastic to make it feel more enclosed.
Yes!!! That sounds awesome!
Awesome job. I am doing a haunted 10x30 tent. Might do the pvc route next year
I think you will such an easier time.
This turned out so cool!!!! Great job! I'm gonna use some of these ideas for my Bray Wyatt firefly funhouse walls! 👻🖤
Awesome job! You could be the resident who ends up motivating others in your neighborhood to celebrate Halloween the way it should be. :-)
Thank you!!! Last year we saw 3 more pop up!
Careful! It's starts with plastic and pvc and never ends 🎃!!! Soon you'll have foggers, animated props, and a line of families down the street that come back year after year! Happy Halloween!
That's how ours started.. in our living room then patio then we've moved it out to our entire large backyard, animatr, fog lots of wires, more lighting and extension cords.. prayomg walls don't fall down. Weather stays nice and it didn't get hot inside house like last time.
Ha... Its already begun.
Awesome! Have you posted Halloween 2019? Haunted house?
I haven't but I will soon!
What a great thing to do for the neighborhood! As for future improvements, I might suggest painting the pvc black.
Thank you so much! I thought about that too but at night you couldn't see them at all.
Pretty cool man....great job and a beer with popeyes is a good combination
Its my reward!
Outstanding work, lots of inspiration
Thank you for watching!
This is awesome! Giving me lots of ideas that will cost me far too much money!
Im glad you got something out of it!
Thanks for taking the time to share this!
Thank you!
Amazing job bud.
Very impressive loved it.
Really enjoyable to watch.
Thank you for the support!!
Such a fantastic idea!!!! I bet the kids will LOVE it!!!! You are awesome!!! 😊❤️
Thank you!!
I sure wish I was your neighbor! I love Halloween, beer and chicken! Awesome haunted house, can't wait to see more!
Its like all the best things at once!
Great job. I think I'm using fishing string instead. Piles and the tarp
That could totally work. Please update me.
Awesome job especially considering you did it last minute! We're doing our first walkthrough this year and I'm building a maze in the driveway (hopefully on a budget 😂) so this was totally inspiring and gave me tons of good ideas!
I feel your pain with the rebuilding problem! I'm in Melbourne, Australia and it's always windy as all hell and often rains, in the days preceding Halloween! Last year, 2021, I purchased 2 brand new aluminium marquees and they got totally destroyed 2 days before Halloween, so we had to scramble to put the haunted house into the large double garage! Meant moving a heap of things around which made getting ready on time a complete nightmare! I do leave mine up at least a week for late comers and people too busy with their own display to get to mine on the actual night.
I'm definitely interested in doing this for my subdivision. You did an Amazing job.
Father and human of the year!
Wow...Thank you!
How inspiring! I hope this will inspire the neighbors to help save Halloween !
I hope... We will see this year!
You can add pop up canopy tents for quick rooms. I made a house out of 5 of them I like the idea of pvc piping I can use that for hallways to each room. Thanks for the video.
I actually thought of this as well. Do you have a picture?
Jeramie Lu I thought I did but can’t find them. It was an Asylum theme. basically used room(tent) 1 for a Dr torturing a patient on a table, Room 2 the tent was lowered so you had to duck into it. This had a patient in solitary confinement, room 3 was shock therapy. And room 4 had 2 tents together to
Mark it bigger and it was the patients taking over the doctors and running wild.
It was small not many props but people were complaining is on the job for such a small house. It helped that I had a bunch of high school kids that were in drama as the actors.
What an awesome dad you are!
Thank you!!! That means a lot.
I need a house just to build one of these, nice job
LOL... Totally!
so nice! definietly worth the like
Thank you!!
Your neighbors must love you! Really nice set up tho!
Ha!!! They are all pretty chill!!!
This is so cool!!!! Awesome can’t wait for what u made this year!
It was epic!
Looks awesome. Great ideas! Lol Best part popeye's and beer! Stay safe!
Its the best!!!
This guy is a Halloween hero!
