What is a home haunter? The Hauntionary defines a home haunter as one who designs and builds a haunted display or attraction out of their own home, whether it be for a party or open multiple days or only on Halloween. This can be as simple as display with props both built and/or purchased to complete the look all the way up to full set up where guests walk through complete with scares. There is a lot of blood, sweat and tears that go into designing a home haunt leading up to Halloween. Sometimes its a year long labor of love for just a few days of enjoyment and entertainment. The Home Haunter Awards Show wants to recognize and award the creativity, passion and hard work of home haunters from all over. Awards will be presented in 7 different categories: Best Motorized Prop, Best Pneumatic Prop, Best Static Prop, Best Walk through, Best Display, Best Overall, Best Hauntcycled. Descriptions of each category is below. The entries are judged by admins of the Halloween Yard Haunts and Props Facebook group based on your decor, props, setup, music and anything else your creative mind can come up with. This contest is open to all Home Haunters from all over! In order to enter for a chance to win, please click on the link below Thank you for visiting and good luck to all.
