Our Haunted House how-to
Halloween night can transform the neighbourhood into a hive of bustling trick-or-treaters and other costumed ghouls, but the activity doesn’t have to stop at the front doorstep. Invite your friends and family in for a gruesomely grand experience by transforming your place into a good old fashioned haunted spectacle. It requires but few dollars, a limber imagination, and most important of all, a desire to scare the pants off your friends and fam. Here are some of our tips, along with some advice from fear engineer Shawn Gusz of Guelph’s elaborate haunted house, Haunted House of Horrors. The man spends all year building up his haunted attraction to incorporate fresh sets and scares, and he made two people pee their pants last year doing it. We’re taking notes.
