Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

So some friends and I were discussing the fact that our town needs a GOOD haunted house. I want to get the ball rolling on this SOON, cuzz if it's gonna be the best HH for miles, we're gonna need to start immediately. I was thinking about a non-profit HH, with all proceeds being donated to a local children's charity. Does anybody have any advice/tips on getting the city (I live in Arcata, CA) behind this? Who do I talk to? What kind of permits would we need? Anybody have any experience with this? Any and all comments welcome.

Thank You!

You know, if it weren't for the fact that one of the top 10 houses in the US is located in my city (fremont, CA), I'd want to do the same thing!! Sadly, I didn't even make it over there.. never have seen it, but supposedly very good. There's another guy that lives a few miles away that does the same thing, but not quite as good.

Oh well, I put some pics up:

Only could get 8. Been trying to upload a video my wife shot with your camera that actually shows my fog machien working. Sadly, there was a good wind up so it wasn't doing so well. The dry ice worked well, just too windy to keep it low. It was during the daylight. HopefullyI'll get it uploaded.

Great pics, Kevin, thanks for sharing!! Your yard looked great, and I thought the makeup was awesome, especially for a 10 min job!
