Thread: How many of you don't change your theme every year?

Tweet

I see a lot of people on here go for different themes each year. One year they will go pirates then, circus, then...well you get the point. I'm just curious how many of you out there stick with the same theme year after year? I am one of them, but instead of not changing my theme i like to add different props to my front yard. Like this year i have 2 grave diggers, a ground breaker, 5 new tombstones and a Resident Evil Dog. I basically kept all of my old props from last year and just added more to it. I guess you could say that my theme is Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets The Night of the Living Dead. I like that theme and plan to run with it for years before i change anything. Anyone else on board with me?

I'm like you Nick, I just seem to keep the same stuff but add more and more each year.

I try to move stuff to different places in the house/garden if I can...but yeah, I figure if I'm going to spend out of stuff, I want my moneys worth

my outside display stays the same with something new added. This year the addition is a giant spider scene with victim.

I also use most of the same props every year. But I did do pirates one year, I have the airblown pirate 'skiff?". I try change it up, arrange it diffently and add something new or take out something old. I've got my homemade tombstones and store bought ones, as they are getting better and cheaper every year. This year I have the airblown skeleton on a motorcycle driving out of my graveyard. Have yet to take any pictures. If the weather cools down this weekend I'll put up the ghouls planned for my entry way and take some pictures.

All the kids and parents refer to our place as the scary corner pirate house. I can't let them down and confuse them with something different now. Oh the humanity.

I do all four sides of the house and full yard and change the scenery around so it isn't in the same place. I also build new things and spend thousands more every year to help dillute the repeat performance issue.

Mine is the same as well but with new props added each year and some improving on the old thanks to you guys here. My tombstones are over 10 years old and made out of plywood painted. Now that I know how to do them from the foam boards I will replace them.

Raven's Caw Cemetery, always a cemetery with upgrades and changes each year to keep the Tot's and their parents on their toes!

I'd love to do a new one each year, but time and money prohibit that from happening!

I was just saying to hubby last night, I have worked so much on my new inside theme - Witches Kitchen - that I haven't done one thing to my outside graveyard this year. I'm just not too excited about it for some reason, and have neglected it.

I keep the same props out there but change it up year to year as I intergrate the new ones into it, though my FCG flys yr to yr in a tree which is right on the corner of our property facing the intersection and when my neighbors ask where things are going they tell me just don't move her.
