Due to our intense focus on building at Moreno Manor, we have not been able to maintain our regular video posting routine. However, we have been capturing footage of the setup and the fabrication of new props, such as a life-sized cheesecloth ghost with a see-through design. Stay tuned... 👻 Moreno Manor

After Halloween is finished I plan and pack my shed for the next years haunt. I pack things in the very back that I plan on not using. Yet, sometimes we may need to grab something sooner than you think. I offered to lend some props to my CalHauntS family, little did I know those items were in the very very back of the shed. I thought it was a fun adventure to share. 😆 Some of my bins I leave accessible near the front so I grab what I need throughout the year. Like lights, fog and special effects stuff. Seeing all my projects again makes me excited for Halloween 2025! 🏚️

Sometimes you need to plan way ahead for your haunt. 🐣 If you need giant eggs now is the time!! Go out and find these oversized eggs 🥚 at the dollar stores near you. I just saw a ton today on the shelf. I used AtmosFX Eerie eyes inside my egg. All links are in my YouTube description https://youtu.be/ZtdHubejr20?si=58eaX_4eQfF7XhBv

Watch us as we build our haunt Moreno Manor this Halloween 🎃 We make most our props. Some people are asking me where I bought my giant pumpkins, and I tell them I made them. Watch how I made them and how we build the rest of our haunt. This year Is smaller and I did buy more props than I usually do, but most of them are hand made.
