Frankly, I think the list is too ambitious for the limited time you have left. You'd have to devote several hours a day to get most of these things done and you might end up stressing yourself to the point of not enjoying it. Pare the list back to 3 or 4 manageable projects and get started now. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is a good haunt/display. Tackle too much and you end up cutting corners and being dissatisfied. Maybe start with a cemetery fence. Add the ghost and maybe a scarecrow. Then focus on some good lighting, fog and some sound to tie it all together. JMO.

aye, I think you may run out of time before you got all those items checked off. But all the info you need is here in the forum I wish you luck and remember to enjoy making the props!

It's certainly ambitious. At least you have a plan

That's one thing I've learned real quick from the forum, I don't have a plan and my stuff is a mish-mash of items. Although all the stuff I've created this year will translate to next year. Hahahaha, this Halloween hasn't even come/gone and I'm already planning next year!

yea...thank you guys...i have confidence in that i can try to get it all done.. I have a 5 day weekend so...im gonna put up and work on some of the decor! soo...yea! wish me luck...and lol..Brimstonewtich...I AM 2!...anyways..and thanks firespartan thanks again everybody!!!

Well, your list is rather similar to mine and I am having a major panic attack that all i have (mostly) competed is my tombstones which still require a coat of paint and then the detailing.

24 days is a very short amount off time to get all that done.. but if you HAVE the spair time (I work 4-5 days a week so my time is limited) then there is no reason at all why you shouldnt be able to get it all done

You can do it! I don't know about everybody else, but for me, once October gets here I start to really kick it into high gear. Even though I always say I'm going to get things done early, the real stuff usually happens in October. I get a burst of energy and creativity that I just don't have the rest of the year.
What are you waiting for? Get busy! ;-)

Madea Violia: Thanks, i usually have time after 4 p.m. 5 days a week and weekends except for 1. So I 'm pretty sure I could do it!!
Madame Leota: Gah!! It is sooo exciting oct. is here. I can feel it. And when that happens im ready to rock and roll! I usually procrastinate until that time..lol bad habit..I'm getting there!!
Thanks guys!! Hopefully, if i can, ill post some pics and tut on some stuff i did if i get around to it, shortly..
