I have extremely fond memories growing up where my friends and I would shuffle through haunted houses at our local amusement park in Pittsburgh during Halloween time. We would constantly push each other to the front of the line to try and avoid a jump scare, simultaneously screaming and laughing. To this day, I still love a good scare; so, I wanted to share my plan for how to make a haunted house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I once worked as the producer on this reality show where the crew had to create a haunted house for our talent. It was fun to finally be on the other side, but it took a lot <\/em>of planning. From that, I learned a bunch about how to make the perfect haunted house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below I’ll break down the steps for you to how to make a haunted house:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Location, location, location<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every good haunted house starts with the perfect location. It can be in a creepy basement or made in your garage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we were filming this reality show, our talent had an old barn on their property. It was the perfect location with multiple rooms to move through and it came with built in cobwebs. To top it off, it had a couple live rats that lived there as well.<\/p>\n\n\n

Hot Tip: <\/strong>The better the location, with twists and turns and a creepy vibe, the less work you have to do to decorate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Map out path<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you know where you are going to set up your haunted house, it is best to map out the path that your “victims” are going to be taking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a sort of theme to each section or room of the haunted house. For example, we knew that the kids would enter by crawling into the haunted house. Then, they would then make their way through a room of spiders and down a hallway where we planned some jump scares.<\/p>\n\n\n

Mapping out your path helps you plan where you will need decorations and how to maximize your space. If you have one big open room, you can make walls by stacking up cardboard boxes or hanging dark sheets<\/strong> to create a maze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Pick a theme<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you go to any major amusement park that hosts a haunted night, then you will recognize that all of their haunted houses have a theme to them. Having a theme helps dictate things like decorations, sounds, and costumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
