Help making haunted house walls

Any large hardware store should carry heavy duty plastic sheeting in black. At Home Depot a 10' x 100' roll is about $65. I've used tons of it for my haunt walls as well as inside the house. It smells like chemicals but it's easy to work with.

Unsettling ideas for a haunted house, not into cheesy rubber decorations and actors in white and red makeup screaming
low frequencies have been known to cause fear and anxiety, also checkout mynoise.net as it has several creepy noise generators with themes like horror, even a haunted house one. use that on Bluetooth speakers set up around the house. Lighting, certain colours instill fear, https://fotodioxpro.com/blogs/news/the-horror-color-wheel-the-color-lighting-used-in-horror A subtle but deep nauseating fear visual, at least for me personally is rotting food, you could add spiderwebs, rats, insects, etc. Death and decay is a more visceral kind of haunt than blood and guts and monsters. Peeling wallpaper, lights that flicker eerily, shadows instead of monsters, shadows is a low budget way to instill fear that the people will make up in their own mind. ever looked across a dark room and thought you saw something creepy but it was only a pile of laundry or a coat rack? Think psychological instead of boo! scary! set the mood, find some really spooky stories, unsettling but not gory, r/nosleep would be a good source. Hope this helps, again this is just my personal opinion and what scares me, but I've found that these things typically will unnerve and spook most people. also, look up DIY stuff for props.

My wife and I have used a bunch of 2x4's to frame out a small haunted house in our garage. We want to keep the walls fairly cheap and we're having trouble finding a solution to fill in the walls themselves. Plywood is too expensive and cumbersome. One of the paint supply houses near us has clear plastic sheeting in large 20' x 200' rolls but only carry clear. Anyone here have a solution? Walls are 6'3" high and there's probably 100 or so linear ft.

Hello 🎃👻!! It’s been a while since I made a haunted house in my garage. In years past I’d cutt a bunch of contractor trash bags and make my walls that way stapled and taped all over the place.

This year I’d like to make something a little more sturdy. Has anyone had any success with partitions from Amazon or something similar??

I was also thinking of doing some light framing and wrap that in fabric or thick plastic and hang it from the ceiling. I’ve also never done any type of framing so I was hoping I got buy some partitions 😂

Any advice would be appreciated! I took the whole week of Halloween to get ready and would like to start planning and experimenting with different walls next week to get a head start…I also want to do a facade for the front of the garage, a basic one to start this year.

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.
