I need to replace a haunt even through I love it but alas it was in one of my games and it need to go.
The haunt that needs to go is blood-writ walls and I really wish I could make anouther one the fits the splatter mans name obsession.
Any ideas?
Why are you replacing that haunt its great?
because every single player in the group has seen it before and one player actually ran it in his own campaign and knows what it does
Spoilery Bits:
Its a CR 6 haunt, so there's realm of possibilites you can utilize to throw at the PCs. Keep in mind that most Haunts I've seen of this CR are usually very debitating, if not outright lethal in some instance (see Skinsaw Murders). In this manner, its possible for a character to be comatose before fighting the Splatterman on enough failed Will saves, so you need something be the equivalent to that in terms of challenge. Also, the change in terrain occurs when this happens, giving the Splatterman a tactical advantage with all of the rubble. It is important to duplicate these two elements without having it be the same. Therefore, you're left with a few options.
-Utilize the other Haunts in the back of the module (Such as the CR 6 baleful apparition) or use a couple from Skinsaw if no one has played that)
-Change the nature of his death: If he somehow drowned instead of asphyxiating, you could utilize a flooded room to duplicate the difficult terrain and have the letters form in the water. This would require a little work but would surprise the players, especially the one who has already ran/read the module.
-Utilize spells to duplicate elements of his death that you want to accentuate. Things like Stinking Cloud or Spike Stones could duplicate the smoke and destruction that occurred in Harrostone's final moments.

It does I'm thinking something to do with fire
You could have something that burns them and then leaves the ground burning embers that create difficult terrain
