Thread: Your cemetery.

Ahhhhhhh, those were the days my friends... When I lived on Capitol Hill (in Washington, DC), there were not one, but TWO elementary schools right around the corner... The teachers used to bring their classes to my house on field trips! We'd hit 450+ TOTers on a regular basis. Now, I'm in the 'burbs and the numbers are going down. The first year we were here, we had about 300 kids. But now, the town hosts a party on our high unholy holiday and it seems like all but the teens (who don't wear costumes) hang there...

this will be something like my 13th year for haunting. we started with something like 25 tot and worked up to 200 tot in a 10 year period. a town of only 800 people. then we moved and started again around 25 kids and are now up to 75 tot in a 3 year period. this is a smaller town of 400 people. don't know if i will make 200 tot in this town or not.

Wow! That's impressive. You must be THE HALLOWEEN STOP in your town.

This will be our fourth year with an actual yard haunt. We get a few more kids every year. I'm really hoping to break 100 ToTs this year. It's hard when you live at the end of a cul-de-sac.

This is the entrance to our cemetery. We live on a corner lot, so I set it up on the diagonal, facing the intersection, so people can see it from any direction.

Wow, the boarded up windows look GREAT! Bet you get to keep a lot of your candy!

Stop and stare ... then walk on by.

DANG! DD, that looks fantastic!!!! any new pics?

tk, i hope you break a hundred this year.
i'm not decorating outside this year because of rain, wind, very cold, and time. but i am knocking myself out on the inside. instead of in the basement i am using my double stall garage. we keep almost getting done and then one of us [my daughter or i] think of more and better. right now i am putting up the dark room ceiling for about the third time. instead of a black sheet i am using a white sheet with a big spider web stretched across it. then i made a slit and am having a spider drop through the slit. my daughter is changing the woods. then i still have the witch box to make as a hut with chicken legs and put in the fireplace and the witch that is shoved in. i will have to put a black sheet or a box on top of the white sheet so the room stays somewhat dark. then i have one more splat witch to hang up and a spider web. then place some witches and a spider and pumpkin. how many more days do we have. lol.

This year I will be adding a Graveyard to my home display using my Innocent Angel and other large Monuments:





I will start the Set-up Thursday and have it ready for Halloween. I have let the grass grow high and I am using blue LED landscape lighting along with Fog. I will post pics of the finished graveyard.

Did yo[U] make those or buy them they are fantastic.!!!!!

Thanks! I bought them about 3 years ago. The Angel was made by Distortions, she is 6.5 ft tall and the wing span is 9 ft.

The other 2 are both 5 ft tall... I don't remember where I got them...
