Haunt name
Me and the wife have been trying to come up with a name for our haunt for awhile. We finally narrowed it down to two names, Creepsville and Visions of Madness. Its kind of a generic name since we will be changing it around a little every year. Tell me which one you like best and if you have another suggestion please let me know.

Visions of Madness - it's a classy name

All things being equal, Creepsville sounds better to me, but unless your haunt is an entire village (ville), it wouldn't fit, so I voted for Visions of Madness.

They are both pretty good, but witout some idea of what the haunt is like, I prefer Creepsville. Visions is good if you are going to have various scenes of horror/terror that are not otherwise connected. A clown room, a spider room, a ghost room, a rat room, etc. Using the idea of skipping from vision to vision. Creepsville would be good for the same or possibly a haunted locale, and could include the graveyard, pumpkin patch, witch or mad scientist area, ghosts of little children, maybe an asylum type setting. It engenders something that could possibly be connected.
What type of things are you going to be using?

The areas will change from time to time. The front is set up as a cemetary for smaller kids that dont want to walk around back. The back yard had a large cemetary, then I turned the dog pen into a physco area, the next room on my shed was a chopshop, the other room was a doll room, the next area was a funeral, the next was a moving spider raising and lowering from a tree, across from that was a scarecrow in a pumpkin patch, my back porch was a withces lair and finally I had a toxic area as you walked out of the yard. There will be a few changes this year.

This year the back yard will be cemetary, physco, A creepy family area or seance' room, a little girls room with a spinning head, toxic area the large area with the scarecrow and lots of pumpkins with the chop shop mixed in it (scene a movie the other day with that same principal), The moving spider, the witches lair and if theres time which I highly doubt a vortex tunnel as you leave the back yard.

I think for creepsville to really fit your haunt would almost have to have a certain dark humor about it. Like horror-comedy tinged. Or Creepsville also makes me think of horribly disfigured creatures and vile characters lurking about. I love that name!
However going by what you are describing I think Visions of Madness fits just a tad better because I get a little more serious vibe from yours, but also your various scenes are like diffrent visions just like others have said. Both names are really good though!
