Hopefully this is on topic here. I’d love some feedback/ideas for a successful haunted trail (self.halloween)

Last year I started up a neighborhood haunted trail and it ended up being way more successful than in imagined. We’re starting planning for this year and I thought I’d get some ideas from y’all. Let me know if you have any amazing ideas for a haunted trail.

I setup a semi janky site for it so also take a look if interested.

Only real constraint is that we don’t have tons of power available. Last year was zero power and this year we’re planing on running some long extension cords but it’s definitely a limiting factor.

It also needs to be roughly PG-13. We can go semi hard but need to be able to be able to dial it back as there will be some little ones.

A few years ago I got a huge pack of VFX files from AtmosFX so this year I’m doing a huge push for projector based stuff.

I’m doing a homemade 25’ tall skeleton with a projector head. Separately 2 haunts in the woods that will be creepy projector things.

I really wish I could go nuts with lighting because I think there is nothing more Halloween that shadows casting through trees.
