We still have a ways to go...but this is our start.

PS. that scrollwork on the corners of the patio I hand carved from craftfoamboard and then painted the patio to match the scrolls... its a nice match to the scrollwork on the veranda at the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland.

Very cool! That coffin bench is awesome. Can't wait to see more, the scroll work stuff looks very impressive.

wait until you see our candelabra's that are spiderweb shaped, and 10 ft tall oogie boogie! We are going to build 2 more benches, and the wallpaper that I designed for the back patio!

Totally cool. I relate. I have not had time to do Halloween the past two years, but in 2007 I did "when two holidays collide" theme. I had a "buck" the talking deer head greet the guests with the Christmas version of the elevator from the mansion. Here is a link to my photobucket, I was totally inspired when I went to Disneyland in 2006 and saw the Nightmare Before version of the mansion. Good luck with your theme, next year 2010, its a dark ride in my garage!!
