It’s looking amazing! I started putting up most of my animatronics today, nothing is on yet but most things are in their places and ready! I still have a lot of animatronics to put up lol
You should have benches in the scene at the end of the Corn Stalkers maze for people who need to sit down and take a little break from walking next year.
Or this year! I actually purchased a bench on clearance at Home Depot yesterday - if I get the time to build it I will put it there as per your suggestion.
Absolutely fantastic! Have to admit, I’m a little jelly 🤣😂🥰👍🎃 I’m not a fan of massive amounts of props but the fact you have so much space and laid out the seems so well, mixed with your own touches has made this a truly phenomenal haunt!!!! Well done!!! I really don’t think this could be better😱🎃👍 Can’t wait to see the final set up!!! My honest favorite part is your camo maze! What?!?!? ❤️🔥
lol Ty so much! Yeah I know that I teeter on being a hoarder with it, but the way you said it is exactly what I’m going for. Laid out thoughtfully and purposefully with lots of action and stuff to see everywhere. The props immerse you in the experience and there is a lot to see and do.
This might be a hard thing to do, but would you be willing to put every single one of your animatronics altogether in one picture for your UA-cam banner as community post ❤ By the way, this is awesome, I always enjoy seeing the haunt
This is awesome man! How do you/they (props and animatronics) handle wind and rain? How many outlets and circuits do you use? What do you do to guard against theft/vandalism? Where did you get the demogorrgon? Do you charge for entry? Thanks!
Hi! Thank you! Wind concerns me more than rain - I cover the props with bags to keep them from getting wet, but sometimes the bags get caught by the wind and that’s when problems can happen (bag blows off etc). Demogorgon is from Walmart - think they still sell them. Only had minor issues with vandalism. We just have a big presence out there all month long and try to have actors in different scenes to both interact with guests and monitor guest behavior. Yes we do charge - $10 adults, $5 kids, but we also have events where it’s $5 for anyone! Check my site for more details: twistedtrails.nyc
Yes that’s true- I have sitter of souls from HD last year and she’s battery operated. The theme for the maze though is basically scarecrows, pumpkins, and forest creatures, so trying to stick to those 3. Headless horseman is a stretch but I didn’t really know where else to put him.
Hard work & dedication pays off! Since July til September Friday the 13th. We can’t wait to walk thru at night with everything on. The most amazing haunt you will ever see! 🤙🏻💪🏻
Ty, it’s one of my favorite scenes as well. When I imagined it, I definitely expected it to be the best this year, but a couple of others definitely came pretty close. Top 3 (to me) are pirates, zombies, and mummies.
@@twistedtrails8485 I love the detail in the pirate scene, and I’m so excited to see the alien area too. the mummy scene is absolutely amazing too. I’m doing a pirate scene as well and am taking inspiration from this for it. The mummies, tombs, fire, and pyramid all make it Disney-esqe and the giant dinosaur skeleton makes me LOL everytime I see it! I live in south NJ but I really want to drive up to visit sometime. Great work and have a great season!

Awesome, keep at it, October is right around the corner!
If you can’t get the Morris clowns, I’d shove Stitches where you were gonna put Sword Swallower so the guests could see him better
Yeah very true! Let’s give sword swallower another week and if he’s still not available I’ll do that.

This is the most incredible home haunt hands down
Appreciate that! Not too many think so 😂
Great video! Just wondering, how do you afford all of these props/animations?
Afford is an interesting term. If I show you my credit card bill it might help answer your question lol
Great job! I have an idea for what you could call the part with all of the werewolves: "Werewolf Woods."
Ty! I already have all of the scenes named, that one is Lycan Lane. Check my site to see all of the other names - twistedtrails.nyc

You should get skill crane cus he will fit in the carnival
I agree that it would go good there, but at the same time, carnival is getting pretty crowded
Home Depot vampire be going “Da”😂
lol it was pretty funny- glad I was able to replace him. Not too hopeful the new one will last that long after seeing that

I wish I could! I don’t think I have a single space big enough to do it even if I wanted to, let alone how long it would take

let’s go tim
Ty!!
@@twistedtrails8485 always
What day do you guys open???
October 2nd
@@twistedtrails8485 My Birthday!!!!
For the Maze, if you use some tekky items they can also work on batteries. Can bypass tbe power cord problems

AWESOMEE!!!
Love It Tim !
Ty!
Awesome display I wish had that much animatronics also Looks like the ringmaster is broke he is supposed to stay up but he went down too fast
Ty! I’ll check him out. Hopefully he’s working properly.
Do you keep all of your animatronics together or do you destroy them and then rebuild them whenever it’s time and how do you do all that?
This is the first year I kept most of them together. Had to get 7 storage units and rent a truck to bring stuff back and forth.
do any of your props get worn out by weather if they are not covered?
They all get covered!
How do you keep all of your animatronics safe if there’s bad weather or rain?
Cover them individually with 96 gallon bags
So do they stay up or do you put them away at night?😮
They stay up
@@twistedtrails8485 Does the rain affect them or have they been weatherproofed?🤔
Okay I’ve looked at other comments to see how you do it.😊 Awesome setup I love what you did with Cackles and Bobby🫢🫢
AmaIng setup..however, what if it rains..?
Ty! We cover everything
Where is it at?
@@DoggyGirl-i7u Staten Island NY
so cool can i come
Please do! Info at: twistedtrails.nyc
Do you have Victor?
No! Thought about getting him but then I never came across him in store
Where is this?
8 Notus Ave, Staten Island NY
What was your first animatronic?
12 ft skelly
We’re did the parrot come from
It’s actually a kids toy that my friend modified to make it move and say what you want
@@twistedtrails8485 I NEED IT
Looks like ringmaster broke down
I’ll have to check him and see what’s going on
Looking really good, if you haven't already got a replacement Victorian Vampire there is like 450 of them left on HD's website.
Ty! I went to HD and they had one left. He will be swapped tomorrow
Looks great. Ferry of the dead is sound activated. We have to run a speaker on a timer...so annoying haha
Buy a mini motion activated sound sensor, then have it blast spooky sounds at max volume, that sets it off
Hard work & dedication pays off! Since July til September Friday the 13th. We can’t wait to walk thru at night with everything on. The most amazing haunt you will ever see!
🤙🏻💪🏻
Thanks bud!
Kills me how many people put the 9.5' imortal werewolf pants on backwards 😢 the holes go in the front 😂
lol didn’t even realize
What happened to the goblin thief?
The pop up guy broke last year but I still love the goblin, so I am just putting him out as static
Very good happy halloween.🎃
Pirate scene = best scene. Is it difficult to hear what Captain Cuts and First Mate are saying side by side? Really love how its all coming together!
