Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween to all! It's been a crazy week gearing up for the big night. We decided to change up our display this year and set up a cemetery. We spent the better part of the past two weeks building the fence and stone columns. I was able to get a few shots of the front yard from last night...

Close up of our Death Studios "Cadaver" corpse, together with this wooden coffin, has been a staple of the display for over 10 years!


I built these two scarecrows on Friday. They were inspired from some pics I saw on the Pumpkinrot blog a few weeks ago.

Close up of Don Post Skull Wall Sconce. I built two 9 foot columns for each side of the cemetery and mounted a skull on each. 



I built this enormous 16 foot scarecrow three years ago and this is the second time we've displayed him.  I was great to see him in action again!


Death Studios "Death 2" mask and hands in the attic window. We put a red strobe on it and it peered down on the trick or treaters from above!

Grim Reaper blowing in the night wind with illuminated clouds in the sky.

A few of the ghoulish decorations inside.
A Blucky skeleton hanging out in the garage!

This year we played Haunted Horror Sounds over our cemetery. It features a wonderful organ track though out the entire disc. It's a spine-tingling blend of creepy effects and red-blooded retro cheese all rolled up into one.
