Mine was good/busy. I spent about 20 hrs+ setting up my garage into a haunted house. I have done this a few years not and when I dont I get a lot of disappointed neighbors and kids.
I probably get 200 people though my place. I will try to get some pictures or video up in the next day or two. I did not get it 100% done this year, I needed another 4 hrs to finish.
It's a lot of work but for the most part it's fun. I always get some teens that are little pricks and even some smaller kids that can be a PITA but for the most part people love it, tons of compliments and I get to scare a lot of cute young girls and some not so young. lol
I think I lost about 5 lbs. My costume is about 120 deg when I am standing outside in the cold but inside the garage I'm constantly sweating.
I have several strobe lights for effect, a couple laser lights, TONS of props and masks but the biggest hit was the bubble/fog machine. I have several fog machines that keep the garage nice and foggy and one that vents out the front/roof of the house but the bubble fog machine was great fun.
This is the same costume but the picture is from last year.
