Thread: my graveyard and new prop...

Tweet

Here is my graveyard from this year. Not the greatest picture, but what the heck. This year I added some new fancy tombstones, and obelisk and a coffin. The night of our party I had a fogger inside the coffin, cooled with dry ice so it stuck low to the ground. There was almost no wind, so it worked great! Also is a picture of an antique thermometer I bought for my wife Becky…I added the calendar, obviously, but the rest is probably from the 50's. The dude in the picture is really creepy looking.

Great job! Did you build or buy the tombstones?

Thanks for the replies. My wife has always been "into" Halloween and I was always just a helper. This year, I really got into it myself. I can wait for next year!

I made the tombstones. My wife and I own a sign company, so it's pretty easy for us.

My neighbor is a landscaper and it's time to put compost on the lawn, so I had him deliver it early and used it for props. After cleaning up the tombstones, I spread it around.

my daughter (5) likes a book called "the bones of fred mcfee" about a fake skeleton some kids hang in a tree that scares everyone. eventually they bury him and put seashells around the edges; so my daughter asked if she could do that to our grave. It ended up looking creepy.
