    This year we did our usual decoraying of the front of the house. (sorry, forgot to upload the night time pics)







    Theres also cornstalks along side the house with Scarecrows and pumpkins and afew other items. I forgot to get pics of those.

    I also added a small graveyard under the front pine tree. It was lit at night with 2 small spotlights.



    Heres a couple of our jacks. We ended up with 5 total that were carved.




    Heres where the fun started. For TOT I put the Freddy rhyme on the sidewalk on each side of the driveway.






    On the drive itself I had these chalk drawings leading up to the tent I had set up.

    Under the tent is where ol Freddy awaited the TOTers.





    I had the Elm Street theme on repeat on our CD player. I also had a moaning strobe light inside the furnace prop that made the red door flicker. Had alot of fun scaring the people. Not just the kids, but the parents too! LOL Next year Im going to enclose the 3 sides of the tent and make into an actual boiler room.

    Nice work, Shadowbat. The tent with chains hanging is a very cool concept, by the way.
