Theme creates atmosphere, which sets the mood you are out to create. For a Halloween haunted house, theme is just as important as it is for those professional haunted houses, and atmosphere is exactly why most of the pros use theme.
To create a theme, you should first create some type of back-story for your Halloween haunt. If you have ever gone to a pro haunt, the one thing you probably noticed is that most all of them have some type of back-story that goes with the attraction.
One example is the Haunted Circus attraction; the back-story goes something like this.
“Many years ago, whenever the circus came to town people would start disappearing; when the police finally find out what was happening, it turns out that it was a crazed clown who was abducting the people, and turning them into zombies. The clown disappeared before the police could apprehend him, and to this day, he is said to haunt the circus, along with his unfortunate victims.”
Now you would take this back-story, and build your Halloween haunted attraction around it, as well as your props.
Any spooky story will work, as long as you keep your haunt within the boundaries of the story, it should flow smoothly; providing many chills and screams for your visitors.
