I think your yard looks great. Every year a little bit more, that's how it grows.

Awesome!!!!!

Best Bluckies ever!

Your lighting put this over the top - well done!

Oh yeah - the yard looks great this year. Bet the kids just stared and stared at all the cool stuff. The cauldron prop really looks like it has a real bonfire under it.

love your sign, love your props and i really love your lighting.

Thanks everyone. Sorry for the delay. The first of every month is always a busy time at the business. Now that I had some time to look back at and by looking at the pictures, I'm pretty happy with how it went. I do wonder how it might look if I had more time and no storm. Going back to the other side of the yard next year, I have 3 more new bluckies to build:A Knight, A Wizard and I'm stealing the exterminator fighting the giant spider idea.

Whichypoo, Thanks and next year I will have several more witches on display. This year they were put on the back burner and put out at the last minute. Glad I did, a lot of the kids loved them! Tim was a pretty big hit, people walked over and talked about him, guessing what he was doing and who he was, then they would see the tombstone and you could see the smile as the light buld went off. Very happy with him, might ad an e-cracker next year. The tie was from my reaper and really help make him to me.

Ghostofspookie: The sign says "Where people are just dying ..... to get in". As for the talking bust, they were the surprise hit of the night. In my test and from what others said about them working in low light (not good), I didn't expect much (mine were under a street light and to make them work you had to clap your hands), but to my surprise, everytime a car drove by, their headlights activated them! So they were talking all night long! I wasn't afraid of damage, I made sure when mounting (I used "L" brackets) to screw into the base and away from any vitals. I have more pictures which I will upload into my photo album or post later in the week.

Terra: A compliment from one of the best is always appreciated.

Rockplayson: I spent some money on my lighting this year and I'm happy with it. I'm just a newbie at it and I will take what I learned this year and hopefully apply into next year.

It looks really great! I've been looking forward to seeing pics of your yard this year. Your props are just so unique and witty. Excellent work!!!

A great set up. Lighting looks good too!
