Day 77- Entrance Hall



We're back! And now onto the grand entrance. What will be essentially a crypt theme, operators will be behind the 2 walls. On one side there will be openings in the wall, the operator will be able to stick his hands through to touch the guests. His hands will either be wet or covered with fake blood. I have been told the blood may not be a good idea because some folks will be upset if their costumes get stained. Kmon now! What do you think? Anyway you see here in the images, there is a 2-way mirror on one wall so anyone standing in the space behind the mirror will be able to see people coming in. This hall will be very dim and foggy. We shield the edge of the mirror with sheeting. No way any guests will be able to tell. Now those haunters out there using glass in their haunt be extra careful. This mirror I had used in a previous haunt. The frame consists of 2x4's routed out to house the mirror. The frame is screwed together. It sits in the wall frame shown here. There are 2 eye bolts on the top of the mirror frame with rope in each looped around a 2x2 at the top of the wall and around a 2x4 at the base. The mirror frame is also screwed into the wall frame. There is no way the mirror can get jarred loose and if it does, it cannot fall. I use a lot of duct tape for knots and securing things to the wood frames.
