Here in Western New York you not only have the chance of a graveyard or a skeleton walking off in the dead of the night, but you also have to deal with the elements (weather). It could be 60 degress on October 30th, by the 31st it could be below freezing and the snow falling. It happened a few years back. So, my plan each and every year is to only put out items that have minimal appeal to grow legs and can weather the storm (per si). Keep the more expensive props (most like the most exciting props) in the garage till the day of Halloween. I like to map out where everything will go, so that when I wake up on Halloween I can get out there and get it set up......
