OK, I must admit that I have been addicted to this site all month. I finally decided to join so I can share some of my ideas with all of you. Over the years my house has morphed into something out of this world. I take apart the whole main level of my home and transform it into a haunted house with different theme rooms. I am very creative and make many things on the cheap. Thrift stores are my favorite place to go! I even replace the curtains and all of the artwork. No corner goes untouched during the month of October. I now get calls from people in other states that want to come to see it. I have quite the reputation in this area. Anyway, so glad to know there are other people like me; that I'm not crazy (maybe a little) and truly enjoy the holiday year round since most of my family just doesn't get it.

So sorry! I am not only new here but have never been on a forum before and am almost computer illiterate so it took me a while to figure out this photo bucket thing. I'll get better as time goes on.
Here are pictures of a few of my rooms. This year I am definitely investing in a professional photographer! The effect and the lighting was so much better than the pictures show but you get the idea. I'll be posting pictures on other threads about things I make, party food and costumes I make every year too.

Lagrousome, you're right - storage is a nightmare. I put things everywhere; in the attic, basement cabinets, shelves, garage and a storage unit. The pictures are a very small part of my displays. Actually just got back from a house selling haunt decor. I bought a bunch of masks, heads, hands, etc. for $20! Things really have gotten out of control. Tell me I'm not crazy, please!
Hawkshillhaunter, I am looking for the extermination kit so I can tell you what I put in it and how I made it and yes, the letter next to it is burned parchment, written in old script, that tells how to exterminate a vampire. I have candlelight around it and an orange spot so it can be read as people walk through the room.
Thanks everyone for the kind words. P.S. - I posted pics of 2006 costumes I made for me and my husband under the "2007 Costume Thread" if you're interested.
