Let the Planning Begin! (Post 4 1/18/13)

 

Welcome Haunters...It has been a very long week! Glad that it is finally Friday!

Hope everyone had a good week and did lots of Halloween related activities... :)

Well over the past couple of weeks I have been sitting around planning out what all I want to do for the Yard of Terror 13! Lots of ideas have been floating around and some are set in stone. I am not sure when I will do the big reveal just yet...I have to let the suspense build a little...lol But no, I have drawn out the design for the haunt and have been brainstorming some ideas for the rooms. I will let all my haunt blog followers be the first ones to know what is in store for 2013!

On the Transworld side of things, I booked my room for the weekend in St. Louis and have also received my travelers guide to St. Louis so that I can explore the city a little bit while we are there. I can't wait till Transworld it will be so much fun! I'm sure I will also get some great ideas for the Yard of Terror as well while at the show.

Sorry for the some what short blog tonight...not a lot going on with the haunt at the moment. Our monsters are on their so called "Vacation". But don't worry they have also been gearing themselves up for 2013!

If you would like to know more about the Yard of Terror or have any questions for me, please feel free to send me an email at yardofterror@gmail.com

 Keep it Scary Folks and Happy Haunting!

Yard of Terror is going to Transworld! (Post 3 1/11/13)

 

Well it's official Yard of Terror is heading to Transworld this March! I was invited to tag along with the haunted corn maze that I work for every year, Field of Screams, and could not turn down this opportunity!  This will be my first time ever getting to visit a Haunters Convention! I can't wait to see all the props, make up ideas, and more. Heck I may even pick up some ideas for this years Yard of Terror...You never know!

 

Other than planning for our trip to Transworld we have been busy drawing up the plans for this years haunt. The room ideas/names for the haunt will most likely be told first, then I will reveal the proposed layout for this years haunt. The Yard of Terror is doing a "Number 13" theme this year with 13 rooms of terror! The monsters can't wait to unleash their fury on our guests as they venture through our 13 rooms of terror!

 

We have also posted our 2010 & 2011 Yard of Terror Videos on our YouTube page if you would like to check them out! We would love to hear your comments on what you thought about our yard haunt.

 



 

Halloween cookies in January? Yes that's right! The Yard of Terror Crew decided to make a batch of Halloween cookies given to me by my Mother. God Bless my Mother, I love her to death! She has been going through some hard times being in and out of the hospital lately with breathing difficulties. She just had to give her yard haunt crew some Halloween cookies to bake :) She is doing fine now and is out of the hospital resting at home. Hey good cookies by the way...Thanks Mom!

What is the Yard of Terror? (Post 2_1/4/12)

Hello Haunters,

I would like to start by saying Thank You to everyone who viewed the Yard of Terror's first Blog Post! I am very excited about how many people came to this site! You guys ROCK!

The Yard of Terror has been going on since 2007. Started by a guy named Shawn Boswell "Hey that's me! :)". The Yard of Terror has a small crew of people known as the "Terror Crew" that help set up and run the yard haunt every year on Halloween night. These people ROCK! Without their help the Yard of Terror would be known as the Yard of Trouble...YUCK!

Growing up I have always loved Halloween and haunted houses. I even decided to get into the haunted house business myself at the age of 14 as a volunteer actor at a haunted house, and have done it every year since then. After working at a haunted house for so long I thought to my self "how cool would it be to run my very own haunted house?" And that's when it hit me!

I had just turned 18, and going out Trick-or-Treating was starting to get old. Our neighborhood has always had lots of trick-or-treaters so I knew I would have a heck of a crowd show up, so that's when I decided to open the Yard of Terror!

The Yard of Terror is located in a small neighborhood in Hillview, KY. The yard haunt takes places at my Fathers home every year. My Father loves Halloween just like his son. Without my Father Yard of Terror would have never got started, Thank You Dad! Each year he loves to get his costume on and help me scare the crap out of all the kids and even adults that decide to venture into the Yard of Terror! The Yard of Terror continues to grow year after year and I hope this continues!

Below I have posted a photo collection of the Yard of Terro over the past few years so that you may get a peak at what the yard of Terror is all about!

If you have any questions or comments about our blog, or the Yard of Terror feel free to post them in the comments section below.

Till Next Time, Happy Haunting!
