Yard Haunters

August 27th, 2009 by John Wolfe

When you consider the vast potential for making new friends and you combine it with all the great features found in social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook, it only stands to reason that similar services, devoted strictly to Halloween and haunt enthusiasts, would be formed. Yard Haunters is such a service. The site contains a forum, videos, member blogs and a chat section. As of right now, they have thirty-four members. While that may not seem like a large number, don’t let it fool you — there’s a ton of quality in the work I’ve seen displayed by this group.

In fact, I was very taken by the incredible zombie drawing featured in the first paragraph! “Zombie Ink” is an original piece by Yard Haunters’ member — Ethan Black. His photo pages feature several awesome drawings, along with very cool yard haunt creations (like this beautifully corpsed skeleton) :) and other Halloween related items to help set the mood. I highly recommend swinging by Ethan’s page and while you’re there, be sure and check out all that Yard Haunters has to offer.

    Wow! It’s so neat to find out there’s more like us out there!

    I know what you mean. Years ago, when the online haunt community was small, I assumed there were just a few of us that really got into haunting our yards. Now, as Halloween continues to expand online, we can get an idea of just how many haunters are out there. It’s incredible.

    I didn’t know about either until Ethan turned me onto it. I absolutely agree with you about his work!
