I just got this video two days ago and I have already watched at least three times. The guys and gals in this video do a great job of showing some basic, easy-to-create, creative prop ideas for a Haunted House. And, they look like they are having a great time doing it too, which after, is what it's all about, right? I only gave it four stars because I wish it could have been longer!

First off let me save you some money. I wish someone would have told me this. This DVD and the How to make a Haunted House DVD are the same DVD. The only difference is the title. I bought both thinking I was getting 2 different DVDs.

Now about the DVD. It is not all bad. But it is very very basic. If you have no idea what you are doing this may help you. But if you have ever done a haunted house before then this will be too basic for you.

Skip it and the other one.

A much better buy is Xtreme Haunted Home Make-Over. This is a good buy and cheap.

along with the projects in on this dvd the tip give my the guys are useful for building your own Haunted house

4 stars because more project would have been nice and a putting the plains on a web site instead of as still shots would have been preferred.

The people in this video create a haunted house and go through the steps for lighting, sound, creating props, etc. They make a number of different props out of relatively inexpensive items that you may even have around the house.

The jokes are a little corny at times, but the people are very likeable. They obviously enjoy what they are doing, and I have enjoyed watching the video a number of times. I like the lighting, music, etc. The video production has the right atmosphere and they capture that feeling of autumn and Halloween. The DVD is well organized if you want to watch just one segment over again.

Their ideas range from the very basic to more complex props. The video contains very traditional halloween props - graveyard, skeletons, coffin, etc., and a few different ideas like an electric chair and sparking chainsaw.

If you are really into Halloween, I think you will enjoy watching this video whether you make the haunted house or not.

Another reviewer recommended the Extreme Haunted House Makeover instead of this video. The two videos are almost like two culturally different celebrations of halloween. This video has the traditional spooky old-fashioned items. On Halloween, the kids were lined up to come and see the house. In the Extreme Haunted House Makeover, the house is like a set of a TV show or an amusement park. They had electronics with dancing, rapping skeletons and electronics that are interesting to watch. Although I also enjoyed the Extreme Haunted House Makeover video, the traditional Halloween decor is my personal preference.

I found this video to be extremely helpful. particularly if you have not made a haunted house before. all the props are easily doable, and he instructions are excellent. I gave it four stars rather than five because I wished that it had been longer
