Pandora, Very cool weathervane. That must add alot to the charm of Your haunt.

Hamm - My mom bought that for my birthday this year! Great gift! They may finally be getting me, huh?

Finn - ohhh that's my brother-in-law's Deluxe! I like being a passenger... I can look around and enjoy myself!! Plus, it's time with my hubby!!

I love all the cemeteries here! Last year was the first year of putting lights in the cemetery, but I didn't take any night time pics...think the blue lighting is awesome, and might try that myself this year. The cemetery is always a work in progress...here are my pics.

Oh, and while it is not part of my cemetery...here is my favorite addition to my Halloween decor it's my license plate. LOL

netsirk - great job! Love all the trees in your yard and the license plate - to die for!!! The lighting is must I would say. It is a great way to highlight your yard and give it a mystical glow. I use most colors, but mine may be too much for some people. I use red, green, blue and amber in my yard.

About a week before Halloween last year is when we thought about adding lighting. Total beginners! This year I want to get the "big box" for doing the lighting so I can add more. It gets dark here so quick, that I can really make the most of the display with lighting...I also try to put dead flowers around some of the stones, but didn't last year...

The biggest disadvantage with the yard though is we get Chinook winds typically in October, so I usually have to pull all the tombstones up at least once otherwise they end up either broken or scattered in the neighborhood.

I really want to try making some of those PVC candles to put outside.

Frankie's Girl,

I not sure if the kids or the parents love the "Peanuts and the great pumpkin" more. A lot of parnets/kids get their picture taken in middle of the pumpkin patch. That side of my house/yard is on a very busy street, so it gets lots of traffic throughout the day too. This year I hoping to play "Its the great pumpkiin, charlie brown" music around the pumpkin patch.
Pictures from my haunt are in the link below...

Thanks. The Great Pumpkin

OMG, I'm just floored with all the great cemetery pics! I feel like a heel that I don't have night pics to post at this time.
All I have now is daylight, but I guess it'll have to do until I learn how to capture stills from the video DH shot on H-ween night...
Too busy handing out candy and visiting with TOTs' parents to take any photos!









Anyhoo, I use blue and green lighting on the gravestones, green uplights on the house, a red light on the reaper,
blacklights under the white ghost's dress and robe, and contrasting yellow/orange lights here and there for a pop of color...
Oh, and our FCG was in the upstairs bay window and a gauze-shrouded skellie was in the downstains bay with strobes and such...

How did I miss this thread ??

Heres some pics of last years graveyard

Just cruised through this thread and all I can say is:

WOW!!

You guys rock!! What a great collection of cemeteries...Here's a couple of pics from last year:

Hooch in the graveyard (which may be a mixed metaphor, I'm not sure...):



And just a view of the cemetery:




My goal is to start making my own tombstones and stop buying them, you all are wonderful inspiration!!!
