Since the kids left 20 years ago and the grand kids are now over the event we just do nothing. We used to do a really high tech haunted house. Animations, sounds, various scary things. One year I hid in the dark with a black cape and a huge plastic double ended axe that had a florescent painted red edge. I stood behind a partition and in front of the entry was a sign in florescent paint that said ring the doorbell on the wall. When someone did that I swung the axe in front of them. Kids loved it....parents ran for the hills. Great fun. We even gave out plastic spiders, snakes and scorpions that year. A real hoot.
