    We had over 100 kids last night.....plus rain so had to bring in the more sensitive electrical equipment thus cutting some of Halloween short

    Here is pic of my Madame Leota out in the front garden with the Haunted Candelabra:

    You can see more video and pics at my Mansion At Midnight plus some Halloween short stories I wrote and some tutorials.

    At one point I had around 25 people standing in my driveway watching my Madame Leota and the lighting and stuff. Had a lot of pictures being taken and kids telling me I had the best Halloween setup and decorations..... little do they know if they ever visited this site!

    Then rain shower came and I had to scramble to get the electrical equipment that was not waterproof inside.... I only setup the day of Halloween, I have everything pretty much made to be setup in the day for the night (not the biggest set)

    Thanks so much for the comments... Aleve and heating pad helps! Don't forget to go to the Mansion At Midnight to see videos and more pics. I had posted also trial runs showing the skulls and Madame Leota complete performances. Earlier blog posts also have tutorials on hacking and builds. Happy Halloween everybody!

    We had rain, scrambled to bring in the electronics, then it quit and I began to doubt whether I should try to put it back up and then it started off and on rest of night... Next year will have more stuff... Already planning

    Looks great! We also setup most of our display the day of. Ended up running around like crazy also at 7pm because it started to drizzle.

    Thanks everyone for the comments!

    Seems like more haunters this year had rain or snow than I can remember the past few years.

    Next year I am going to add some large columns and fencing. We have L shaped walk so at front of walk big columns (like Aura of Foreboding) and have a hooded dark robed type figure holding a lantern moving it back snd forth in front of haunted tree...

    Will start studying tree tutorials here... What a great site! Thanks everybody!
