Actually, those are exactly where and how I had them in the yard.
I strung up a simple lattice of 50lb test fishing line over my yard......
I had a dozen of those floating all around my yard - with the fog, they were a huge success.

Very cool effect. I liked the way it looked.... You can't detect the line at all in the pics.....great job! Thanks for the magic! H1

Halloweenie, I just love these pics. I love all the jack o lanterns and that skelly in the hot tub or whatever hes in, well I just love the humor in that. Excellent job !!

nice stuff everybody.
marc, your mausoleum rocks. Is it foam panels over a wood frame? It's also cool to see somebody else has some the same tombstomes I do. they never look quite the same in somebody else's cemetery.

uglyjoe, the witch and floating candles are great. Is the witch static?

Here's a pic of my cemetery with the moon rising above it. I ended up on the ground like a sniper to get the angle for the shot. the other pic is about half the cemetery at night I've got a bunch of pics in my albums

I would like to post actual pictures, not links or attachments. How do you do that?

Ugly Joe, I love the pumpkin head, great job. I too did something with fishing line. I used it to suspend a flying bat in the middle of the yard. Even during the day it was hard to see.

ondeco, your graveyard among the trees gives a very realistic look. the moon shot is wonderful.

Yes, it is a wooden frame with foam over it. I used TK421's plans, but my carpentry skills are kindof lacking so all sides did not come together at 90 degree angles.

But I think it looks good that way. A little decrepid. In fact, I didn't make the panels from full foam sheets. I live in a new community and they are still building houses. I just took pieces that the builders were going to throw away and used it for the sides. The cracks that you see are actually where two or more foam pieces meet. I used a little black to highlight it so it looks like the building is crumbling.

The open holes are where I couldn't find pieces that would cover the space. It turned out great because I could see out but the ToT'ers couldn't see in. Great for scares.

hallorenescene, thanks. the side yard where i have had the cemetery for the 2 years we've been in this house is really made for it. The trees are big maples so they give the place a feel of some age. there's another big gnarly maple in front of the fence where I put a couple special graves. the whole thing needs better light, but next year it will have fog [if it isn't too windy]

marc, very cool. Very little is better than scoring haunt materials for free. I like the large cracks--gives it the look of having been there a while. I had thought the holes were for a fogger. Nice work.
