Hey JW. Sounds like yall have a doozy of a haunt coming up. Your path seems similar to ours where we started out with a very kid friendly yard haunt then progressed to a mildly scary walk through and advancing to a full fledge scary haunt. I am enjoying watching your progress.
I am not doing anything at all this year. I think I will visit other local haunters for a change. I am not quitting Halloween, just taking a year off, but I do think I have done my last haunted house.
Since I am not haunting this year, you are welcome to drive down and borrow some of my props to use. I trust you will take care of anything I loan you. I think you and LewLew make a great team and I doubt you need any advice, but feel free to pick my brain as I do have a little experience putting on a show like yours. It will be here before you know it.
