I have to organize this haunted house, so what would you guys suggest to scare? What scares you the most?

Answer 1

For me, I am phobic of LEECHES! They are creepy little buggers who anesthetize you so you don't know they are there, then suck the blood out of you and are under your skin. *shudder* I am the same way with ticks. They spread disease, and are along the same lines of a leech. If you could work those in, I would pass out in the midst of your haunted house. I know people find them creepy as well.

Answer 2

I went to a really awesome haunted house a few years ago. Along with the usual stuff (insane little girl, chainsaw maniac with real chainsaw, evil clowns, creepy insane asylum), they did a "death penalty" theme. Certain rooms corresponded to forms of the death penalty, starting from the oldest and working up to modern. There was a guillotine, hanging, firing squad (people with paint ball guns shooting at a low wall separating the squad from the public), electric chair, even a gas chamber and lethal injection setup.
This place was the scariest haunted house I have ever been in. Hope this helps!

Answer 3

I had to help organize a haunted house once. What we did was, we had one room that had a low ceiling and some beams across the ceiling, we had some good climbing guys up there and they reached down and touched people's heads and shoulders. We had a creepy old lady (actually, a high school girl made up like a creepy old lady) rocking in a chair in a room, and when you came near the room she'd sweetly call out for you to come in, come in. Then when you walked in, another girl leapt out from behind the door and scared you. We also had a tall, slender girl dressed all in long black robes, black gloves, and a black mask on, who led people around the house from room to room in the order we wanted them to go in. The scarees couldn't tell if she was male, female, alive, grim reaper, or what the heck. She never spoke, but she'd step in front of them if they went the wrong way and she'd point in the direction they were supposed to go, which was creepy because she had these long fingers all in black gloves. let me think what else we did... Oh yes. Customers came in the front door and out the back. At the front door there were standard spiderwebs, nothing major. But hiding outside the back door was a guy with a chainsaw who would chase you once you stepped outside. We had a few more things, too, um, a girl (me, actually) dressed as a dead girl with a vampire bite on her neck ballroom dancing with a guy who was dressed as a vampire (presumably the one who bit her.) And another girl, dressed in shorts and a tank top, laying 'dead' in a tub of warm water in the bathroom, as though she had drowned. (But we had her head above water, of course.) Anyhow. The part that seemed to scare people the most was the girl dressed in black, because she was with them the entire tour until they stepped out the back door but she never spoke, and of course the guy with the chainsaw outside the back door. (This was the Halloween after The Texas Chainsaw Massacre came out.)

Answer 4

When i went to a haunted house, what freaked me out the most was went a zombie (they were make-up pros) would walk over to someone and point for them to look in the other direction. When the person saw nothing there andwould looks back, the zombie would have moved inches away from the person's face giving a little scare.

If it's going to be dark, have someone craw along the floor touching people's feet and legs with a feather. Thats a total freak out.

Answer 5

The things that scare me most are not the gory stuff, or even the shocking stuff. It's the things that are just silently bizarre and creepy. Not sure if that helps, but make sure to use blue lights in a blackened room with hot ice or something else to create a misty feel. That always makes things scarier.

Answer 6

Hi. There could be scary sounds too, and if you can, make the sounds vary in volume (quiet to loud):

-- water dripping
-- a workable grandfather's clock (with alarm if possible)
-- creaking noises (a door, for example)
-- rumbling noises (from below/upstairs)
-- crackling noises (from below/upstairs)
-- thumping noises (from below/upstairs)
-- footsteps, knocks, cupboard doors slamming, kitchen chairs screeching against the floor.

-- rain/thunder/lightning
-- different odors in different areas
-- a dial tone sound, as if a phone is off it's hook
-- a heart beat sound (increasing pulse gradually)
-- actual water leaking from ceiling

-- a puddle of water on the floor...if lights are turned off they might think it's a puddle of blood, with possibly a corpse just near them
-- have a TV set up. Turn it on while the lights are still on. No cable, scrambled. Turn the lights off. Keep TV on for about 10 more seconds and then turn it off. With the couch near the TV, trying to sneak up on the people when the lights are turned off. Turn lights back on afterwards.

-- turning AM radio on and off.
-- distant crying voices
-- whispers
-- glass/ceramic shattering

-- a bathtub with a monster.
-- a bathroom with a monster/creatures/unexpected things

To me, this would scare me the most. Anything that is unexpected. For example, that grandfather's clock that keeps on ticking. If you don't have any lights on, make the alarm sound (if you can). Anything that is sudden. But still try to keep the suspense building inside of them so that when this unexpected thing happens, they are 50 times more scared.

Most of all though is darkness--the on and off light switching.

Message me if you have any other questions! I'd be glad to help!

Answer 7

My sons and I have been doing a haunted yard/house for several years. I take a week off work just to have time to set it all up. We use the standard decorations, strobe lights, fog machines, sound effects and so on. I bought several cheap robe type costumes and masks, built body frames out of pvc pipe and created 'monsters'. I have a room with several of these monsters plus one of my sons in costume. He poses similar to the monsters, but will reach out and touch people as they walk by or just turn and 'roar' at them. I have one room that is the spider cave. It's a room about 10x10 with a large rope spider web on the ceiling and a huge spider hanging down. I use a dozen bags of spider webbing to cover the walls and hang down from the large web. A strobe light gives the feeling of motion to it all. A cheap plastic skeleton wrapped in webs and stuck to the wall gives an eerie effect. The last room is the mad doctor autopsy room. I have a table covered in a blood splattered cloth, a torso made of old cloths stuffed with newspaper and a variety of body parts scattered around. Last year I wore a bloody doctors' costume and would step out from behind people as they looked at all the stuff on the table. This year I am going to use an oscillating fan rigged inside the doctor costume with a mask so it looks like he's standing behind the table looking back and forth at all the gore. For myself, I invested a hundred bucks in a Ghillie suit, a head to toe camouflage sniper suit that I hope in the dark will make me look like a bush. As you walk past, the bush comes to life and comes after you! I also have a cemetary with a variety of restless monsters coming out of the ground, skeletons standing around, grave stones made out of styrofoam and painted with grey spray paint. The fog machine is set up here with a home made chiller that keeps the fog low to the ground. There are lots and lots of other things going on here and there, hanging body, flying ghosts, a skeleton dog and so on. If you have specific questions on how-to's or anything, just e-mail me, I love Halloween and love to share.

Answer 8

Ghosts. There is nothing scarier than what you can't see. After all, it's a --> haunted <-- house.
As long as you get the atmosphere right (eerie music, dim lights etc) it should be fine.
