NEW CREEPY ADDITION

There’s going to be a new addition to the Thornhill Woods Haunted House this year.

Every home haunter sticks with a theme for their haunt, mine has always been a Haunted House with a creepy cemetery. Over the years I've continuously added more tomb stones, zombies, ghosts, but always felt something was missing.

After analyzing the layout of my haunt and listening to some friends, I realize that I needed to add a Mausoleum because a Haunted House with a creepy cemetery just isn't complete with out one.

So I traveled to the USA last month and picked up some great detailed vacuum form wall panels from Night Scream Studios to create a walk through Mausoleum this Halloween.

Here's a picture of what some of the outside wall panels will look like.

Inside Coffin Wall Panels

Now comes the fun part of designing theme rooms, decorating and constructing all the walls with a tent canopy to cover the roof.

For Halloween 2010 the unearthly spirits at the Thornhill Woods Haunted House will have erected a Mausoleum full of what bad dreams are made of. So come and see what lurks behind the encrypted burial chamber walls and see if you can find your way out.

We have a Settlement Date!

We have finally had confirmation that the titles have been released and our settlement is on the 18th of June - we are SO EXCITED - stay tuned for up to date info as the build begins!!!

HOW TO SPEAK ZOMBIE

I was out pillow shopping with my wife on the weekend to decorate the new leather couch we just purchased and we walked into Teatro Verde.

While she was hunting for new pillows I stumbled across this book "How To Speak Zombie", What a great find.

Published by Steve Mockus

In a world overtaken by zombies, the only hope for survival lies in learning the language of the undead. How to Speak Zombie demonstrates how to blend in and avoid being eaten while carrying on with everyday activities like ordering a latte from a zombarista and shopping at a zombie-infested mall.

This essential guide features an electronic sound module that demonstrates proper zombie pronunciation ("RAHHHhh "), helpful text that explores the customs and etiquette of the zombie world, and detailed illustrations that show the undead doing everything from pumping iron to dancing the night away. Deeply informative, this handbook also includes an all-purpose BRAINS button that can be used in any situation, deadly or otherwise.

Plus it will make a great bed time story book for my 6 and 3 year boys.
