Hi,


I have the haunted monastery of St. Thaddeus in Tethys which you can visit here:

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Tethys/49/212/81

Tethys is really a unique old Linden-made mainland sim which has among the highest baked-in mountains in SL and a really cool tube ride on the rapids made by ancient Lindens in 2003.

I worked really hard on making this monastery last Halloween, and I had help from various friends like Fleep Tuque. I have the potions maker there which is really fun.

I recently bought the land next to it so I have more prims -- and now I'm looking for more ideas to decorate this year, send me your suggestions.


This is part of the SL Public Land Preserve.

The Haunted Manor is my first attempt at a Haunted House in SL.  It is not a private Sim but  It's a large lot with several areas of interest to explore.  

The Manor itself has a basement, main floor, second floor, and an attic. You can even climb up onto the roof.  There is a back door exit from the kitchen on the main floor leading out to the rear exterior where one can find a small graveyard and haunted pool.  

There are also many interactive elements to be touched, bumped into, walked on, and sat upon. So explore everything.

Of course a Midnight Sun Setting is recommended and one should remove as many scripted attachments as possible in order to improve performance. 

So come on down and let me know what you think and have a Safe and Spooky Halloween!

See you there!

 Halloween-Trail-2011.jpg

Its our 5th Annual HALLOWEEN TRAIL!  October 1st  thru November 5th. Over 30 interactive spooky displays and haunts across 10 regions. Several are one-of-a-kind original works you won't find in stores. Hike, bicycle, ride, fly, or TP along the autumn roads and trails of Aero Pines Park for spooky goofy fun and frolic.

Visit our Halloween Supplies & Costumes Shop  for decorating your house or sim. See our large selection of costumes and load up for all those parties in October.

Join us weekly for our Harvest Time Concert Series featuring LIVE performances such as the FOLLOW and other artists TBA. Also experience our spectacular multimedia tribute shows near  the corn maze and pumpkin patch.

Our Park Rangers are working daily on the installations as we get close to OPENING DAY October 1st!

The Halloween Trail is most fun if you come with friends or family. Most can't see it all in one day, which is why we host it for five weeks. So there's no excuse for missing out!

This year's Halloween special at Grim Bros. /Low prim &  Grim features two flavours of Halloween: "scary and weird" (blood stains! mystery meat! mad scientist organ playing!) and also "harmless and weird"(skullbunnehs! shrooms of doom! carousel of certainly-not-death!). This means you can pick whether you prefer cute, cartoonish, happy and colourful Halloween deco (turn right upon arrival) or something sinister (turn left upon arrival, follow zombies, find out that the zombies have no idea where they are going, drop zombie-following plan, instead go to house, enter)

Pop by to ride the carousel, find some hidden freebies, win apple bobbin' prizes, bump into zombies, or play the mad scientist's organ while taking a picture for the family album.

If you want to pop by, here's your flight plan:

By the way, her's a look at the "harmless and weird" part of the area.

" Got a favorite fall hayride location, or an awe-inspiring apple-picking area? Post a link to the scariest sim or the most happening Halloween event..."

With all do repect, I don't think this thread should be used to promote retail items. As stated above, It's all about Halloween Haunts and Events - A retail sale associated to Halloween is not a Halloween Event...

At DarkDharma Haunted Manor "Hell Season", a strange wind moans eerily through the trees as you journey into dark regions and notice some things that are not easily explained. Strange apparitions, foul smells, horrific sounds and rumors of ghastly happenings in the dark bowels of the building. What IS that screaming below and what IS that lurking in the attic? In existence since 2006, but renovated and updated this season with an entire new area, new and updated items, and a new freebie hunt, the house has four levels which are packed with SPOOKY! Also featuring DarkDharma's Halloween avatars! Enter this highly interactive Haunted Manor if you dare and discover its secrets--Open ALL YEAR!

I'd like to recommend the strictly adults-only horrors of a new SL haunted house, Hell House:

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Bad%20Romance/15/216/24/

Be sure to have your sounds on as you fully explore the mansion's many rooms, including chapel, library, theatre, sauna room, ballroom, and bedrooms. The build and many of its illusions are inspired by the classic horror novel "Hell House", by Richard Matheson, but you don't need to know the book to enjoy the Second Life scares, or be disturbed by the unnerving atmosphere...

With its baroque and decadent decor, Hell House stands out as something different amongst SL's haunted attractions. As I said, it's adults-only, and some rooms contain sexually explicit imagery. (It should go without saying that a haunted house includes violent and disturbing imagery as well...)

our store, [ LuNi ] has always been part of the creepy side of second life. since inception we have enjoyed creating spooky content for the grid, from costumes, to makeup/skins, to items that inspire fear. being a real life makeup artist for a haunted house for several years, i have endevored to bring a bit of that love of horror movie makeup to my creations, and though we are unable to really go all out this year for halloween due to real life, i hope you will stop by and check out our items for your upcomming costume needs!
