Thread: My graveyard 09'

Tweet

I didn't get to here all the compliments because my wife stayed home to pass out candy while I took our girls Trick or Treating but she said everyone was really impressed with the new additions and set up this year.

Final shots from the big night;


Static Reaper points the way. This was originally a cheaper/smaller prop which I rebuilt but was still a "scarecrow" set up also added two bones (from a bag of bones) to his forearm since the material was shorter once rebuilt. He held one of the Family Dollar lanterns in one hand.


I don't know what the fog looked like earlier in the night but by the time I was taking pictures it was staying relatively low and sweeping across the whole graveyard.


Kind of hard to see in the pic but there's a head & hands next to the tombstone. The hands were just slightly entering the TOT path.


Used my Bucky lids and strobe lights in the front porch windows but you can't really see the far one in the pic. The candles are placed around a skull that rotates, makes sounds and has images of cats/bats/skulls that light across the porch.


Here's another great shot of the fog rolling across the yard.


The entry columns.


Liked the lighting from this view so I snapped the pic.


The end of the TOT path just before getting to the porch.


A ground view of the exit.


On the right is my caged ghoul, which was supposed to hand from the roof but didn't make it up there this year.

Hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween!!

3 more pics since I couldn't put them in the previous post:


My Boris and Bela Funkins which always find a place somewhere in the graveyard. I cut holes in the backs to light up tombstones but the Frankenstein was to close to a floodlight to give any affect.


This witch wasn't really finished, no arms and I had no shoes for her but I think she was still effective. Was able to get the Scene Setter material for half price at Halloween USA and used magnets to hold it onto the garage (FYI works great during calm conditions but windy conditions....forget it!)


This Grossferatu set up was a big hit. Thanks to whoever on here had him set up with something on his back it gave me the inspiration for the broken crypt set up. I had two 2 liter bottles of Pepsi with ice in them in front of the fogger not sure if it help but like I said the fog was staying pretty low.

How many years have you been decorating for Halloween?

You have created a lot of amazing props. I am sure the kids loved trick or treating at your house.

PS. I love the carved pumpkins. You (or someone) you know has some great pumpkin carving skills.

This was my 6th year doing my graveyard. Thanks, my wife carved Puss n' Boots for our daughter Sam and I carved Kool-Aid, Wonder Woman and the Funkins. The Funkins have been in use since 04', the first ones I ever tried carving.

Here are 2 more shots of the new Grossferatu set up;
