halloween wall teaser

Those of you who have been around a while know I do a large Haunted House at my home every year, this year we are changing the entrance and needed a wall, although this isn't finished there is enough to give you the idea and be able to recreate something similar if you chose. The main idea came from a picture a family member took in Orlando Florida, that wall probably cost a couple of thousand dollars, to date I have less than $5.us invested.

Step 1 Getting started

There is a show on cable called "Hanging with Hackett" were the guy creates amazing stuff from found objects he calls obtainium, thats a FANTASTIC word and I quickly adopted it, I also came up with the word possibilium to cover the same found,scavaged,donated materials so one of the first steps is to peruse your pile of possibilium. I found some interior doors and dimensional lumber that looked like it would work

You mentioned a show called "Hanging with Hackett" The show sounded interesting so I tried looking it up and had a bit of trouble finding it. I believe the show is actually called "stuck with Hackett" is that correct?

could be, I made the same mistake in another "ible", apparently the show was short lived around here because I haven't seen it in ages and even if the name of the show didn't make much of an impression on me, his use/creation of the obtainium word did. Obtainium and possibilium were used extensively by the entire staff during this years HAUNT build along with a couple of variations like createium and imagium. Thank you for commenting on this misfactoid of the "ible"

Love your house btw. I work at The13thGate in baton rouge, LA. One of the top haunted houses in the country and I have to say I'm very impressed with your home haunt. Even more so for the fact it was mostly out of old recycled materials. Can't wait to see what you come up with next year!

Thank you, I don't know if you've seen my other Haunt ibles but it all started when my kids were teens and wanted a party instead of trick or treating and then everyone got into scaring the trick or treaters and its evolved to where we are now. We had numerous comments comparing us favorably to local commercial Haunts this year and especially considering we're local and cheap ($1) compared to driving 2hrs and paying $60. We try to top our previous year each year and this year even impressed ourselves, of course we learned what didn't really work and are already planning a new layout.
