Uploaded some day and night shots of the 2007 haunt to photobucket.com.

It was a good year this year. Having gone into semi-retirement on Labour Day weekend - "semi" because I'm 41, but just don't work for the "man" anymore - I had lots of time this year. Fully rebuilt two props, built two new props and a fence, and purchased some great tombstones and gargoyles.

In its fourth year of use , the FCG decided to mess around a bit, first tangling up on its initial night out (gotta remember to check the nuts on that little rotating mechanism every year), eventually losing its head a few nights later (gotta remember to check the knots every year).

Right side of the driveway is the cemetery:



From another angle - big tree hides this from the front shot:



Left side of the driveway - a tribute to Pumpkinrot:



New prop, hooked up to a motion detector:



New prop, with a face very familiar to many of you:



Rebuilt - his head spins when a switch is pressed:



Spooky nightshot:



Spooky, spooky, spooky:



Spookehhhhh:



Spoo...alright, you get the picture:



Good times, as always.

PS are those the gargoyles from home ense ??????????? boy did i miss out on those , i need a pair next year for sure....

Thanks digbugsgirl and Witch.

I think we'll be ok on Wednesday, weather-wise, Witch.

As you know, I love your hearse prop; the way you've set it up is top notch.

Yeah, the gargoyles were the ones at HomeSense, as well as the celtic crosses. The gargoyles are heavy and made with fibreglass reinforced plaster. After haggling, only cost $45 each. I'm sure they'll have them again next year; grab 'em early.

Good luck on the 31st!
