      Sounds like you need to consider attending one of the haunt conventions, and taking some of their classes/lectures.

          Just knowing what the building is isn't much to start with. What experience and skills are you bringing to this? Have you run a business? Have you worked with haunts before? What research have you done? Do you have construction experience? Acting experience? Prop experience? Do you have a business plan? Is this a side business, or are you trying to make a living off of this? In either case, do you know how much you need to do to be "successful"?

          What areas are you trying to get advice about and which parts are you bringing expertise to the table.

          There are three rules to designing a haunt. Unfortunately, nobody knows what they are.

            You should come to 2n annual Haunters Con. in London Ont. in May... I did a sem./Make & Take last year and were doing another one this year... There are many Diff. classes you can take and you will learn so much + meet meny vendors... I would also attend any of the other Con. they are great! and so much fun, you can learn so much in just one weekend...

              I would stick with the theme of the funeral home. Come on haunt world and ask as many questions you can think of. Buy as many videos you can get your hands on for haunted houses ect.And Attend the Transworld Halloween show in St. Louis this March. Damon
