Alien themes are awesome, and you'd be amazed at what you can build into spacecraft or lab equipment. I'd recommend brainstorming a few room ideas, decide a central focus for each room, then hit the various second hand stores to gather some prop building materials.

Examples:
Laboratory - Focus prop could be a surgical table, or even a crate with "something" inside it. Materials to build it - some old lamps can be dissected into interesting pieces, painted silver and mounted on wires to look like alien tools, the body could be a prop or an actor screaming, a crate can be built out of a couple old pallets or a few sheets of trellis.

Kryogenic storage - Focus Prop could be a space pod (a good way to reuse an old coffin prop) or even just some jars filled with props (I personally enjoy cutting up those toys that expand in water and putting them into old jars/bottles, with some food coloring)

Alien lunch room - Wrap some aluminum foil around a picnic table and have a dismembered human on some plates with some gigantic alien silverware.

Escape tubes - A basic maze set up, but instead use clear plastic and some plastic "mirrors" to create a different environment. It's pretty scary to even see another guest through clear plastic.

A couple links for DIY projects.

Toxic Waste barrels are pretty awesome and a pretty easy DIY

I'm a big fan of tentacles, this is an etsy link, but I'm sure there's a way to DIY.


Good luck, and have fun with your haunt!
