I have a buddy who is a distributor for CamoSystems. He is able to get us Camo Netting in bulk for CHEAP. By CHEAP I mean 50% off any retail price you’ll find! If you’re in the market for some CamoNet- post in the forums ASAP to let me know. He’ll ship it right to us and you can pick it up at the next Make & Take (or, order your own roll and he’ll ship it right to you). This is high quality 3D Camo Netting by camosystems. It’s UV protected, and heavy duty stuff.

This is a SMOKIN’ DEAL FOR US!!!  Seriously, I haven’t seen this same stuff for less than DOUBLE these prices. You might find other kinds, but they’re not going to be the quality, coloring, and reliability as this stuff. I’m using it to turn my desert landscaping into a ‘jungle’ type haunt.

It comes in 2 colors- Woodland, which is a green/brown, and a desert- which is the lighter tan/brown color. I assume most everyone will want the green Woodland color. You can see pictures of it here-

You can also read the product catalog here- this stuff is on Page 3 (bulk ultra lite).

Here’s the 2 sizes-
BBN01      8′X85yds      Woodland, Green, Brown      43lbs each
BBN02     8′X44yds     Woodland, Green, Brown     24lbs each

We can get the 44 yards for $303 including shipping.
We can get the 85 yards for $570 including shipping.

I know it seems expensive- however, if you price it out (I’ve checked ebay, local retailers, army surplus, suppliers online) you’ll find that it’s almost DOUBLE the pricing per foot. This is a GREAT deal!

Let me know ASAP if you are interested! Post in the forums to jump in on the Group Buy.

Here’s a cool little game for us Haunters- Scary Sleep Over. Basically, you’re the ‘haunter’ in this game, and your goal is to try to scare the guest out of the house as quickly as possible. You press buttons at the bottom of the screen to control the ’scare mechanisms’- and each game-hour that passes, a couple new tricks are available to you. However, if you use a scare too often, the guest gets used to it and it has no effect. Check it out- it’s a great time waster! I had to play it a few times, but finally scared him out of the house at 1:34am.
