"Hi I'm Matt Cail on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to show you how to set up a haunted house. Now I'm going to cover three popular fright tasked. The first one of these are fake walls. How do you build fake walls? Fake walls can be very useful if you have a very big space in your haunted house. It is not very freaky when you can see fifty feet in each direction unless you have a lot of fog which can be very expensive. So you can also build fake walls to break up the space. You can make fake walls quiet easily. It is by going to any hardware stores and getting yourself some two by fours; actually two by six preferably. You know bigger long sturdy boards. What do you do with these boards? You basically are going to assemble a rectangular shape and then have some diagonal bracing at the corners. This would make a nice solid sturdy rectangle. Now you are going to have to use at least two of these at any given time to make a L shape. This would add this would give additional stability. You don't just want one of these guys freestanding all alone or it is going to fall over on you or on other people which is not good. After you have your bracing ready, get yourself a big roll of black plastic. Again, you can get these at hardware stores. Then take a staple gun, stream out the black plastic over the fake wall and cu-ch on the sides. There you go strings and a couple of these together you have a really nice fake wall behind where people can hide, can jump out of. It can break up space like I have already said. Short, they are really great for kind of taking the space that you have and making it even better to get frights and scares."
