My wooden fence that I made last year turned out ok, everyone that noticed it liked it. I just got a bunch of free pvc pipe so I have to add some fencing somewhere. I am going to build columns for the driveway. the problem is that it's sloped, so I'm not sure about the gate part. Also want to do the singing pumkins that were posted by someone else earlier this month, they are sooo cool. It's going to require a crypt, but I think I have to do that.

I think we are going to redo the scarecrow setup, with 4 scarecrows and my buddy as a fake one. I am hopefully going to do a silicone jeepers creepers style silicone mask for him. We are going to over haul the graveyard and expand it out, with JoL throughout it. Some zombies, maybe a serial killer clown actor in the cul de sac to scare kids. Last year we found out scaring 20+ people at once creates a stampede and is dangerous. We had a party guest get pushed and fell on concrete because a group went running out.

Hahaha, we have a steep driveway, I kind of thought the same thing. No injuries yet.

Yeah, I also had someone freeze up and I basically tackled them to the ground. The worst part is I crushed cupcakes and frosting all over her skimpy pirate costume. I felt really bad so I offered to help her clean up after carrying her inside

Anyways, I think we might also section off the walk up with an entrance and exit. That way we can scare them forward and out of the yard haunt, it should help prevent any tramplings.We stopped checking for monsters under our beds when we realized they were inside of us

And it's obvious ter, your enthusiasm is always cracking me up. It's an addiction isn't it. I've never got into facebook or any of that, but this works for me creatively, and it's bloody entertaining!

I am not sure, nothing is jumping to my mind this year. As you can see on my website, I have pretty much a kids theme for the past 7 years with Charlie Brown theme and lots of pumpkins.
If I had to come up with a project for this year, I would say better lighting, painting the gravestones, and maybe some music.
I am just not sure where I am heading this year.The Great Pumpkin's Website: http://www.uni.edu/beardsle/
