Sounds like a great idea! "So little Timmy you've been a very bad boy and so what can Anti-Clause bring you for Halloween?" "I want a severed head."

yes we do have photo opps... I have found that everyone carries a camera or phone these days and always excited about taking pics with the cool props.. some we put in the stocks.. some we let stand by willie biter.. the mummies.. etc etc.. we always get huge thank yous .. and can I please get a picture... means the world to us..also means its a hit!!!

I know what ya mean Witchypoo.
Honestly, I think I like that more than scaring people.
OK not really but it is a close second!

I like the idea of the bench - I think I will work that in this year. Otherwise, yes, my whole yard becomes a photo op. Everyone wants to take pics either with my witches or by my cemetery gates. I like the idea of a planned photo spot.

we always do a photo op. the last few years its been an electric chair. in the past we've had skeleton cut outs and a men in black area for picture taking opertunities. Make sure you put on your flyers or posters to bring their cameras!

I think its a great idea, I would like to try it this year in my Halloween display.

I did two years ago. I should do it again.... It was well-received. I took the big prop I had the previous year and had it off to the side. In this picture it was Terra Queen's throne. Perhaps this year, I should have Terra the Vampiress.

Hallow kevo!

It's a great idea! GO for it! WE will try it this year for the first time - but with a twist. We are going to let kiddies sit in our hearse seat - next to the skelly driver and hold the reigns this year! We will help the little ones step up to the seat - and they are given a little voo-doo doll as they step down. Parents can take the pic (with their own camera) for $5.00 - proceeds support The Saint Joseph Orphanage in Haiti.

We are also planning a "stick your head in" stockade photo place with a sign that that says "I'm just Hanging Out on Halloween"

Also -- On the island of Ocrakoke - in the NC Outer Banks - there is a Blackbeard shop with a full-size character cut-out of a pirate that you can stand behind and take a photo. It is really fun for all ages. I'll see if I have any old pics from when we went there a few years back and post them...
Or you can create your own:
6 Foot Custom Cutout Standup Made From Your Photo - Cardboard or Plastic - Products - Party Standups

hallorenescene -- You could have a "step inside" western jail cell for a photo op spot in your 2010 haunt! Wouldn't it be great to see kiddies behind bars with a skelly or two slumped in the corner and lots of cobwebs tickling their faces! BOO!
