I have a bunch of them, but they were pulled from halloween forum and necrobones. You might want to see if they would allow you to merge the three together.
Backyardhaunt- is awesome lol but this is a great idea!. lets see.....
pneumatics-Pneumatics is the use of pressurized gas to affect mechanical motion.
1,2 or 3 axis skulls: Plastic or Styrofoam skulls that are motorized, usually by the use of servos to move the skull in either 1 (side to side), 2 ( side to side, and up and down) or 3 (side to side, up and down and lateral tilt to the left or right) axis of motion.
Home Haunter- Just as it says, someone who hauntifies their home
Pro-Haunter- People who make money with their Haunts
As far as types of pro-haunts:
Disneyesque- No blood no gore...rated PG
Splatterhouse- Too much blood and gore rated R for extreme violence
Hell House- Kinda like..."Why the HELL did I come to this house and give these people my money!!"....like those thumpers like to do for certain churches.
As far as people who work in Haunts:
Plant- Person who becomes a patron for the purpose of being attacked within the Haunt
Nester-Person behind the scenes triggering certain contraptions that are not controlled by motion detectors...we also just called it the "Crows Nest"
Monster Mom (Dad)- Person who coordinates the actors within a house
XPS - Extruded Polystyrene Foam as in the blue and pink foam
Foam - Blue Extruded Polystyrene foam by Dow or Pink Extruded Polystyrene Foam by Dow Corning (Foamalar)
The dictionary is really starting to be fleshed out. Now Gc can't start complaining that she doesn't understand what I'm typing when I lapse into techspeak.
Haunti, here's another one:
H2IK -Hell If I Know, used when someone asks you a question while you're working on a project and don't want to be disturbed.
Usually when some one indicates foam its the blue or pink, I know some use the bead foam, maybe we need to encourage the use of bfoam to ndicate bead foam.
Ok, how about these. Anyone that uses a computer ought to know this:
1) D.E.U. Failure: Dumb End User, used when you find an idiot trying to use equipment.
2) R.T.F.M.: Read The F**ing Manual, when someone tries to put something complex together just by looking at the box. Ties into the DEU Failure description.
3) S.T.F.U.: Shut The F** Up, should be obvious what this is used for.
I don't know if there is a wikipedia for it. Having one on this site should cut down on confusion and questions about terms. HauntForum's Haunting Dictionary link
1) Martha Stewart/Kindergarten Halloween - cutsie pictures, country home decorations and place settings.
