Need Idea

WOW ok, I am REALLY late to the party here. I just saw that you all posted last year.

Sorry.

One idea we did in the early years was to do Movie themes. Each vinette was a different movie. Think OLD Universal movies. We had Frankenstein, dracula, and such. A highlight was a group of monster mud mummies sitting on chairs with pocorn watching a DVD of the old Boris Karloff THe MUmmy. That went over great.

The only trouble you'll have with your electric chair idea---moast kids have ZERO idea what it is. As for scaring small children, well---1) that's the point ain't it? and 2) Good luck. The prop will almost never scare the tots. With few exceptions. What does scare them is for an actor to jump out while they are looking at the prop. Don't believe me? Go to any commercial house and watch the crowd not the haunt. The props are distraction only.

I totally want to live in your neighborhood!

A family that I lived near did a fright-yard every year that included a fully realized electric chair with jacobs-ladder and strobes, sound effects, fogger and an actor who went over the top with his performance.

I'm man enough to admit that it freaked me out. I can't imagine what some impressionable little kids thought.

Oh yeah; you had to pass it on your way to get candy.
