The hurricane is scarier than the haunted house

[kumir_k9]

I was going to run a haunted house this year in the warehouse where I work.  I had grand schemes for a swamp, forest, cemetery and crypt.  I had a crew of people lined up to help me last night and tonight for setup.  However, work was cancelled yesterday due to the hurricane so we missed the first night of setup.  Several of my setup crew for tonight are not here.  There is just no way I'm going to ask a skeleton crew to do essentially four times the work.  We'd be here until 5:00 in the morning and I know from experience how painful that is.

So alas, there will be no haunted house here tomorrow.  :'-(

Last year my haunted house got scrapped part way through because of a blizzard.  This year is being called on account of a mega-hurricane.  I think I should cancel next year now because I don't want to see how Mother Nature escalates things to stop me next.

That's a serious bummer. Sorry to hear it!

Awwww *hugs* Sorry to hear it. At least you were already planning to do a smaller version this year due to Halloween being in the middle of the week. Still a shame though.

Last year they rescheduled Halloween to the next week.

Can't you do that for the Haunted house?

Sacrilege, I say! That would be like celebrating Christmas on the 29th of December or something. It's just not done. ;-)

Bummer :( I know how much you were looking forward to it too! Mother nature isn't playing nice for us lately.

Sad!!! :( :( :(

Well, you should definitely keep all the good ideas for next year. I love just seeing the pics and reading about your haunted houses! Mother nature should stop messing with something so clearly awesome.

Sad. I know how much you love haunted houses. As for next year... Maybe she is done screwing with us.

It took a freak blizzard to shut me down last year. It took a mega-hurricane this year. Do you really want to risk seeing what she'll do next year if I don't give up?

I am kind of a "bring it on cupcake" person at times. But I see your point, also I cannot imagine the financial cost of props... Best not waste them.

So sorry to hear that there will not be a Rick Haunted House™ this year.

I was bummed too, but was not totally daunted, and thus as my latest LJ will show to you, my office ended up haunted.
