When planning a yard haunt there are some things that you want to keep in mind for safety reasons. Here are some ideas that might help you make it safer. The number one item is to get extra home owners insurance for the nights that you will be allowing people to view your haunt.
Nothing can spoil the fun more than a law suit because someone tripped and fell down.
Most insurance companies can help you with the problem of extra insurance for the time needed, even if it's for a night. When building your haunt, make sure that the walk ways are far enough away from things so that people can't trip over them or hurt themselves. This also is good for you, this means that your visitors won't be able to ruin your props and sets. Some people just have to vandalize at this time of year and ruin it for others. This cuts down on the fire hazards, such as catching costumes or props on fire.
