6 days until showtime

Today I got the north side of the house wired for light and sound. I'm absolutely thrilled at the result having just tested it out in the dark. I have nicknamed it Thunder Hall as it is a 40 foot long corridor filled with the sound of wind, rain and thunder with lightning flashes periodically illuminating the distressed portions of wall where the lathes are showing. As any home haunter can tell you, we are brutally hard on ourselves as our vision of a project rarely matches the reality despite our best efforts, but this hallway comes very close. I also downloaded some good sound bits to mix for different areas of my haunt, and I have nearly completed the video that will be shown at the haunt entrance to entertain as well as state the haunt rules to all who are entering.
A couple guys from another local haunt called Night Terrors (I added a link for their haunt to my Links page) dropped by today, and I was happy to walk them through Day31 and go over most of the plan and some of the tricks with them. This is their first year haunting their new home, and they will be operating on Halloween night and the following Saturday night. I'm planning on checking out there haunt on Saturday, and you should do the same.
I almost finished the build for the slide wall on the east side, and it is really the last major build. Everything else is detail and gingerbread from here on out.
Went to Wally World tonight to pick up a few last minute supplies, and I dropped by the Halloween express store on Madison in Murrieta across the street from the Home Depot. If you are looking for the best selection of costumes and props under one roof, I haven't seen a better one in the area, except maybe for Party City. Their prices pretty much suck, but I get that they are a seasonal business and need to make some bread in the short time they are operating.
