:undecidekin:1st - sorry if this is in the wrong place.

So I've said we're going to do a full-blown haunt for charity. Now we're trying to decide if we want to do a scary haunt geared for teens/adults or doa kid friendly haunt.

St. Louis has, arguably, two of the best haunts in the country so they have the scare factor (and money) on their sides. That's leading me to think about doing something different. Maybe a walk through geared toward the kids - more whimsical I guess.

There's a lot of kids in the area and most of our friends have little ones (how we ended up being the oldest ones in the group is beyond me). So I'm trying to decide what theme to use - fast - so I can get started.

Thanks all for the suggestions and support. I think I'm going to go semi-whimsical. I like the stuff that Dave Lowe does very much. Also Stolloween is always an inspiration.

Here's a pix of Patrick O'Treaty from Dave Lowe. I like him as the "grand marshall" of my haunt.

Thanks again!

I think I've come up with a theme. "Dead End Day Camp" I have this picture of a tombstone with a tv set into it (I have an small old set that would work) playing old moviese or something with a skeleton watching it. There will be a skellie perched on the point of our shed dropping a pumpkin onto an unsuspecting skellie on the ground. Sort of like some one who shall remain nameless did with eggs from the hay loft onto little sister's head.

There's all sorts of pranks and mischief a little skellie could get into!

We're off and running!
