Thread: The Graveyard 2007

Tweet

I finally got around to getting up some pics from 2007. I'm still trying to get the video out of the camera without having to buy a new video card. Here's a link to the album:

very cool otaku! thanks for sharing. i don't mind seeing your pics so late, cause it gives me a little halloween thrill since we still have around 300 days left!

I love the crows and the reaper. Nice touch.

Nice otaku! Thanks for sharing!

Great graveyard!!! I'm digging the wooden crosses thached together, very classy!!

Thanks for the comments. It's interesting to note that the smaller grave markers, the ones without the twine wraps, came from a local cemetery. The groundskeeper places the old, rotted-off markers in a bin for me when they fall over and he replaces them. I fix them up with a base so they stand up. Kinda freaks out my wife, but I like the authenticity. I don't use any that have legible names or dates, though.

Now that makes it even cooler!! Bravo!!

Awesome looking graveyard, Otaku!! That's a great setup and I like the "quick and easy" cemetery fencing. I love your grandma skelly in the rocker holding the baby. I was thinking I might try to make something similar for next Halloween with one of the Talking Boris heads.
Thanks for sharing!
(By the way- your PIR/Timers you helped me make worked flawlessly again this year-Thanks!)

Great pictures! I too like the cemetery fencing - I saw a similar fence in the movie Tombstone I was watching last night and I'm thinking about doing that kind of fence this year for my haunted hoedown. (Might change the name if I can come up with something better).

Thanks, Dave! Looking back on 2007, I realized how many things I forgot to put out there. I missed the flickering lanterns, the gravedigger's spade, various other flickering lights, skulls and so on. And it still took me all day to set up! My wife is getting involved in the display this year (yay!) so I'll have some help. Of course, she wants to expand the display to about 4X the size it is now. Sounds good to me! Glad to hear those timers are still doing the job. I used two of them myself and had no problems at all.
