How-To Roundup: DIY Halloween Yard Haunt Sites...

As Halloween Addicts get jobs and "disposable income" their need to take back their favorite holiday manifests in different ways.

Maybe it's the desire to work with one's hands... or a designer streak... or the plain glee from scaring the crap out of friends and neighbors but one such manifestation is the "yard haunter."

A yard haunters desire can be as simple as decorations in the windows or as complex as a Disney-inspired animatronic walk-thru complete with visual effects, cast of characters and hourly variety show.

Whatever level of Halloween committment you have, you may need ideas, or a mentor, or a how-to and that's where these webpages come in.

Give any of the following sites a gander to inspire or direct you into turning that humble abode of yours into a smoking, screaming, spooky house on haunted hill that any jack o' lantern would grin for.
