r/hauntedhouses on Reddit: Unsettling ideas for a haunted house, not into cheesy rubber decorations and actors in white and red makeup screaming
September 16, 2022 -

Nothing wrong with the traditional haunted house setup, but I’m making one this year for my community and I’m looking for creative, unnerving, and unsettling ideas for my haunted house. The more unconventional the better but I want my guests to leave with something genuinely scary that isn’t just your rubber props, fake chainsaws, and the millionth actor in white face makeup with fake blood. I want new ideas, upsetting visuals (nothing too graphic or honestly expensive). Any ideas?

The best haunts I've ever visited played with not just sight and sound, but with smell. Nothing deeply unpleasant like rotten meat or shit, but like graveyard dirt, or (in the case of a Texas Chainsaw Massacre themed haunt) barbecue. It was enough to set me off guard, because you don't really expect to smell much more than fog juice in a haunt. It's almost invasive, smelling something unexpected, even if it's pleasant.

Great Ideas to Make a Haunted House more Interactive | Haunt Forum
March 17, 2013 - Im talking more the corporate ones, like at wonderland and stuff), I enjoy the aspect of making the guests use their brains (purely for my own entertainment while watching on the CCTV cams LOL), making them have to do things to be able to move forward, misdirection and those sort of things. We did a lot of that last year and want to amp it up this year as we do every year! So let me give you an idea of what im talking about, last year the first room was technically a huge corn maze and graveyard outside the haunted house..

IF someone's never worked with Google SketchUp, then it's usually a good idea to sketch out or thumb-nail out the basic layout on graph paper first, and then go from that.
