Thread: Halloween Depression!

Tweet

we can't do any decorating this year because our house is going to the market i'm really bummed, all i have this year is Halloween specials, movies and candy. I'm going to have to get some spirt through everyones posts!

but i do have this to look forward to next halloween!

Sorry to hear that. But wow, that shorter flat rooftop has endless possibilities. If it were mine- I would totally have a large group of skeletons, dressed in fancy dress, ballroom dancing up there

JOIN THE CLUB.......I am managing in my STRUGGLE by knowing that next year I WILL make up for the lose this year......I took it one step further....I have NOT even step foot in a halloween store......Talk about self abuse....

Awesome house! It almost looks spooky by itself I can imagine how great of a display it would have had!!

I LOVE that idea!!!

Your next house should make you feel fantastic. You can already start planning out what to put where or start building props for it, right?

Building props and planning should help you make it through this year.

Last year I was in a TINY apartment and I made it through by carving pumpkins for my friends (and dropping them off when they weren't home) then going to someone else's house to give out candy on Halloween. It worked pretty well. Oh...and I adopted a black cat. hah hah. He's wonderful and spooky!

Wow, wow, and wow.
HH, somehow I think you'll be able to find some solace in planning next year's haunt, to pull you through this year.
That house looks amazing! Of course, the haunt potential is incredible, but the architectural design alone is beautiful. It's not a historical landmark, is it? (just wondering if it's been registered as one, if that might limit what you'd be allowed to do as a home haunt)

no it is not a historical landmark, it was built in the 1940's.

Hogwaddle an' baulderdash says I!! Let us, dear friends, naught forget our dear friend, th' DLP projector! Flippin' 'glorious lil device.. Project video o' images or drawing's of said images o' ghosts an' ghouls, Jack-o ('love tha' name Jack)-lanterns onto any, an' oll windows, ',mate.. savvy?

You simply MUST see this.. imagine if ye will, these projected on yer windows at night.. be nothin' else on th' house atoll! In th' evenin' 'ang plastic sheets o'er yer windows an usin' th' projector (borrow or rent one) throw th' video onta th' sheet. Ta look at th' house, nothin' seems outta place, until night..
