You need to do some historical reading there my friend. You are way off in your interpetations of what cemeteries, should or shouldn't be. Many houses, in years past, did have the family gravesites in their yards. As for the other stuff don't get me started......Yeah - All what Rookie Said! He's a gentleman.
Everybody's cemetery looks great and has the charm of what this forum is all about.
HALLOWEEN SPIRIT ! Including yours.

He looks right at home to me!!

Hey the first one I ever did diden't even have that much stuff. I think it's a great start.

Skellington,
I think the added street light looks great amongst your haunt. Generally I hate the public light but it seem's to fit great with your haunt. :-)

Great cemetery pics everyone!

Here's a few pictures from 2007. This year I'm hoping for some much needed improvements since last year was crazy (SoCal fires).

You can see the fireflies in this pic:










More pics on my site! Everyone's cemeteries look amazing so far!

And why is this cemetery in a haunted houses front yard? Front yards do not have cemeteries in them. I could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on........

what don't make sence about putting a cemetery in the front yard? if i had one it would have to go in the front otherwise no one would see it. I say put whatever you want in your cemetery even if it is a big evil clown. i don't think people would be thinking much about it not belonging there, just happy to see you put something out.btw..everyones looks good to me.

**Blushing** Thanks for the very flattering comments all!! My cemetery has come a long way since my first Halloween costume party in 2005. In 2005 I had only 5 stones all homemade. 2006, roughly 14 stones. 2007, approximately 24 stones. This year I should have 40+ easily in the front and back yards.

And thanks Rookie! Actually, until now my cemetery has been set up in the backyard for my party only. For 2008 I'm setting up a fenced in cemetery in the front yard for most of October and the one in the backyard will be there for my party only. Some of those stones will find their way to the front after the party. I have so much work to do to make that happen though.

Next, I want to say that all of you have AWESOME graveyards!!! I've taken many of my ideas from you all.

And if I can try to inspire some of you who are starting out, I'll show you a pic of my embarrassing first year cemetery and the progression to last year. Like someone already said, we all have to start somewhere and here's how mine started 3 years ago...

2005 How embarrassing.



2006 Closer to what I was shooting for.



2007 A satisfying improvement.

JohnnyL, you already know how I feel about your cemetery, so I will say nothing further, hence you may file stalking charges against me. I'll just say that I would NOT be here if it were not for that awesome spectacle of yours. As far as realism goes, that is nothing that comes even REMOTELY close to Love Manor.

Host. I was trying to decide between green or blue ambients, and you made it clear for me. The green looks great, but the blue is just PERFECT. I love it that it's not too bright. Just enough to look like moonlight. SWEET!!!
