Funds

I've gotten a few emails from people sending me a link to promote some guy asking for money so he can build his Halloween display the way he really wants to. For, you see, he needs over $2,000 to really make it something special. I've featured his life-sized crashed locomotive on my blog before, back when I guess he was funding his yard haunts himself.

And now I see that another haunt is using that fund-raising site to ask for money so they too can build their haunt - The House at Haunted Hill.

I'm trying to wrap my brain around this concept, and the only thing I'm coming up with is that it's sorta kinda in the same ballpark as the public funding the arts, similar to donating to public television or your favorite public radio station. But it just feels off to me. I'm still half-expecting the guy to say "Surprise! I'm giving all that to the homeless AND I'm still going to build my haunt!"

A good friend of mine once said "So much of haunting is making due with what you got." And I agree with him.
