Pensacola, FL, October 01, 2010 --(PR.com)-- How to Haunt Your House
Husband and wife team, Shawn and Lynne Mitchell, have turned their modest home haunt, The Mitchell Cemetery, into a self-published book about Halloween decorating, prop building and special effects called, How to Haunt Your House.
With a fascination of Disney’s Haunted Mansion, old black and white horror classics and movie special effects, the Mitchell's created their own version of a Halloween haunted house and graveyard for over the past five years. What they learned along the way, they turned into their own how-to home haunt book. A lot of Halloween decorating books offer mostly projects for children. How to Haunt Your House is geared toward the teen to adult age group and offers projects that range from simple to complex. Within the 98 page book are over 300 color photos, step-by-step instructions, tips and tricks for home haunters and inspirational photos of the Mitchell’s past displays.
Readers will learn to create everything from Styrofoam props to special effects, like the Pepper’s Ghost effect seen in the Disney’s Haunted Mansion attraction. Learn how to make glow-in-the-dark candles made from PVC and hot glue. There are instructions for building your own mummy, scarecrow, or a drinking ghoul. A wide range of topics are also covered, everything from lighting, using fog machines, to creating a special entrance for trick-or-treaters and party guests.
Pete Henderson, hauntspace.com founder, says: “The content is amazing. Not only does the book offer a thorough index but the topics included in the first book start out on the ground floor in an easy to understand fashion. All of the content is illustrated with step by step instructions on how to achieve your goal. The book has pointers that outline all of the components of a prop and explains its features. The language is simple. I find this to be very important. Haunter talk can be understood by a person who has dabbled in this industry for a long time. A beginner should have the ability to navigate through the book and easily understand the lingo. This is the case here.”
More information, additional online tutorials and resource links can be found on the website, www.howtohauntyourhouse.com. The website also features the Mitchell’s past Halloween videos and photo galleries.
The Mitchell Cemetery has been featured in the 2007 FearNet series called, “America’s Scariest Haunted Houses”… and was finalist for the 2007 Best Yard Haunt in the Haunt X Awards. How to Haunt Your House, book 2, is currently in production and will be available for October 2010.
How to Haunt Your House is a Print-On-Demand (POD) book and can be purchased online from LuLu (www.lulu.com), Amazon (www.amazon.com) and Barnes and Nobles (www.barnesandnoble.com).
