Cookees Drive-In Haunted House 2009 We purchased the building next door and upgraded our haunted house from 200sq ft to over 1000sq feet!! Take a look at our pictures for a peek at what we were building. These were taken near the end of us building the haunted house. A few things are missing, but a video will have all of it.
Picture of one of our front windows. These are painted by our employee Erika Lowe!	Here is another example of the graphics that Erika has done for us.
An inside window that Erika painted.	The outside of our haunted house after we started adding window lights.
Elmer Moore being attacked by our giant bat! Elmer was instrumental in us getting the haunted house built on time.	The Reaper greeting people at the entrance to the haunted house.
The first corridor. Halloween theme played with the blinking overhead skulls while someone jumped from the freezer.	Our floating monster would moan and and wail as he moved from one end of the rope to the other on his own.
The third turn shows us our pirate and some masks that have light-up red eyes. We later added a boiling skull on a table that had fog coming out and changing colored LEDs.	Our ghoulish faces stared out from the wall. This hall was very foggy and was very dimly lit when in use.
The washing machine had a wolf's head sticking out, some skulls and a strobe inside highlighting his teeth. A fog machine beside it kept the hall and that area nice and eerie.	Some imprisoned souls and the evil butcher greeted you around the next corner, opening up to a larger area.
To the right is the opening to the feast. Two dummies were stuffed and shown eating human parts. A microwave cooked a head, and our friend Jimmy had his headless costume on, while sitting motionless. People let their guard down thinking he was stuffed also and ROAR, he would jump up and scare them!	This is the feast room. It is hard to see but it was lit by three blacklights. It had a table with two stuffed dummies and our friend Jimmy sitting there. People would walk in thinking it was just a simple display. WRONG!
Our gory dryer! The zombie baby on top was light activated. When a victim would walk past, he would spin his head around and make horrid sounds!	The entrance to the tunnel of masks!
This animated ghoul would go up and down while making eerie sounds. He was sound activated and the screams from customers would keep him going constantly!	This is an early picture of the hall of masks. We hung 9 hockey masks in this hall and had three REAL people with hockey masks standing still! People thought ALL the masks were hanging there until they jumped out!!
At the end of the hall was the skull animated shaker. Sound activated, it would jingle and vibrate while small lights highlighted the shaking skulls.	The hall of zombies! This was foggy and lit by a single black light bulb. As you entered, you could see them dimly lit, but you could not see the bubbles coming at you in the dark hitting your face! People would scream, "HEY, SOMETHING WET TOUCHED MY FACE!!"
Here is the bubble machine and fan assembly. Elmer helped a lot on this wild contraption!	This was the lightning room. A room, entirely covered in tin foil, a giant spider and a strobe light and lightning sounds. This room really wigged people out!
This room was not quite finished at time I took this. But, it had four nasty half-alive mummies screaming and wiggling when activated by lights. The sounds were horrific and freaked me out as we built the room.	Another picture of the room being built.
Two sections of sewing thread hung down invisible in the dark and fog. As people walked through, they thought for sure they walked through spider webs!	Another turn has us seeing suspended severed heads and another animated ghouls that moaned and cried and moved up and down.
Near the end we had a couple of skeletons and mummies guarding the path!	The other side of the same area.
The coffin is close to the exit! It had a skeleton in it and a spider with web and babies. Fog would come out of all three of the Gargoyle's mouths to keep this area nice and foggy!	A couple more imprisoned skeletons.
Our giant bat along with a giant centipede and a hanging skeleton display sheet.	The exit door with a plastic overlay.
Our giant bat with blinking red eyes would try to stop your hurried exit!	A GIANT spider outside the entrance with four blinking eyes. He was great!
Our friend Jimmy in his headless costume. He was also instrumental in us getting the framing built for all the rooms and hallways in the haunted house! His wife Brandy also helped and even his daughter!	What a crazy effect! A nice full length shot of the costume. Jimmy scared SO many people with that costume!
Elmer sitting in his position. He scared a LOT of people just by being in the dark and pretending to be a prop. When people thought he was harmless he would JUMP up and the screams would commence!	This is me at the end of the night. I had my face totally black, a black long and stringy haired wig, and a druid robe with hood and rope around the waist. I could go undetected in the dark as people walked right past and I would then follow and SCARE!!!
