Thread: 2009 two evenings of setup done

Tweet

I picked up some additional finial fencing in the summer and was able to expand the size of my graveyard. I got some grief last year for being too cluttered and 'tacky' as a result. Well, the kids loved it! Anyway, bigger cemetary this year.

Still have the 50' spider web, gangway, singing skeletons, hallowindow, treasure chests, pvc candles all yet to go out. Coffin still needs to be staged too.

I think I'm happy with the location of the ship facade.

And here are some static shots.

I like the shipwreck..that's really cool looking!! Everybody is making me so jealous!!! LOL I can't wait to put my stuff up but I'm afraid of things getting taken or ruined this early.

great start!! can't wait to seee it with lights on it, it is a great cemetery!

Love the dirt mounds.The pirate ship looks awesome.I so want to do a pirate theme one year, maybe next.

simple, cheap and they add so much to the graveyard. When halloween is over we will just rake them across the grass and it will help to give us a nice lawn in the spring.

Hard to argue with that one.

Thanks for the comments.

Awesome set up man..love the ship..and the yard is looking nice..

My kudos too on the ship. Looks great and not done in a way I would have thought of myself. Very effective and a nice entry way to your house. Especially nice with a pressure mat trigger. Look forward to checking on your progress.

The pressure mat will go at the end of the 21' long gangway both of those won't go out until close to or the day of halloween. Although I'll probably put it out this weekend for a few minutes just so I can take a few pictures. Mostly because I can't wait to see how the gangway, entry arch and ship all look together....

3 Axis skeletons are done, they were put on my deck for now, if the weather holds on halloween they will be at the end of the driveway....

love it!!!

The little stuff like the treasure chests the foggers, the dry ice cauldron, all still to go out, and the automated stuff, like the steering captain needs to be connected, but other than that it is pretty much all up now. Here is hoping for good weather on Halloween!
