Lost in the Haunted Woods

Long time lurker, first tiime poster :)

Anytone here in Tallahassee, FL?

I'm in charge of a haunted trail that's part of a fundraiser for the local natural history museum. It's done along a nature trail. On the plus side--it's in the woods at night (which makes people nervous even if you do nothing) with great atmosphere--looming oak trees, Spanish moss, even wolves howling (they're in the zoo part but people don't have to know that). Budget is decent.

Minuses--it's long (a quarter mile) but narrow (about 8 feet). There's only four of us really doing all the design and building. We can usually plan on about 30 volunteers showing up for "zombie duty" while the trail is running--they're pretty limited to "jump out, go boo" variations. We try to be prop-and-scene driven (so we don't have to rely on the zombie--volunteers are both a blessing and a curse.

So--what would scare the bejeebers out of you if you came across it in the woods at night?

The general theme is things you might find in the woods. We will be doing the torn-up campsite. We've done a cabin with mummified people in it. Last year one major scene was an old carnival--with about the third generation of people in it, who didn't know any other sort of life (example--the "petting zoo" was a board with bloody pelts on it).

good times . . .
