The plan
- Decide on a scene concept first — realistic set design is presented as the foundation for believability and immersion.
- Plan the haunt to trigger the fight-or-flight response via scare elements so guests get the adrenaline rush of fear and excitement.
- Lay out lighting so dark, eerie light highlights specific areas and casts shadows, building mystery and suspense.
- Add subtle scents like old dust, decaying wood, or a faint hint of decay for another layer of realism.
- Combine props, sound effects, lighting, and scents into one coherent atmosphere to set the tone.
- Aim for emotional resonance — a believable environment encourages visitors to suspend disbelief and engage with the narrative.
Decoration ideas
- Realistic props such as old, damaged furniture
- Decaying books
- Realistic-looking body parts
- Realistic sound effects — creaking old doors, moaning wind, chilling whispers of unseen presences
- Dark and eerie lighting placed to highlight areas and cast shadows
- Subtle scents such as old dust, decaying wood, or a faint hint of decay
- A decaying room with crumbling walls and cobwebs to trigger feelings of vulnerability and exposure
- Full-body professional props, animatronic skeletons, gargoyles, busts, and a collapsible coffin from the Horror Dome catalogue
