Hows your year going so far????

OK well after everything last year with the chair arch and MJ tomb/video and my wife not talking to me b/c she says i'm a crazy nut but mainly b/c i once again went all out for Halloween and fell short on x-mass (thats her big day lol)

So this year i think i'm going to start this stuff early and work everything out ahead of time LOL

I just need some ideas.........................


SO WHATS EVERYONE WORKIN ON THIS YEAR???????


i'm working with a really small space and have no real grass or anything you can see picts of everything from the last few years in the links below

You've got some great pics! I can see why the wife would be upset, your place rocked for Halloween.

I myself, have been thinking about making some columns for my cemetery with a fancy gate.

Everything and anything i can lol! I am working on a haunted clock and tombstones right now.

confusious, you have a lot going on. that is a very nice haunt. loved your use of everything.
crazy xmas, i hope you post a picture of your haunted clock.

i did a hansel and gretel fairy tale theme last year, i am going to turn things around and do a western theme this year.

2010 plans for m6

- 48 additional feet of fence
- remove or shorten hedges for view of side yard from street
- increase cemetery to 300 gravestones
- build new wall panels using only framing and foam
- axworthy ghost to exend over sidewalk
- headless horseman prop
- pissing off neighbors by growing my own corn stalks
- faux fire/coals for my witch brood
- rigging for my foggers

M6

holy crap m6, you must have a nice sized place there. sounds like a lot to get done. good luck. i know i never accomplish everything i want to do.

Hahaha thanks!!!!

Its actually not as daunting as it sounds.
My property consists of a double lot and huge back yard. Only counting the front yard and side yards (to back of the house line) I have over 3000 square feet of area. In that area I set up over 200 tombstones in '09. The hedges that will be trimmed down or removed block the view to the side of the house. The new fencing can be built in a few hours and will serve to prevent theft and will be placed where the hedges were. as of last count I have over 250 gravestones, so hitting 300 won't be too terrible a feat. I'm planting corn and pumpkins in a section at the back of the property line so that I don't have to 'borrow' cornstalks. Axworthy ghost only needs mounted to the trees i'm using to support the pulley system. And finally I should be able to complete the panels over a weekend of nice weather. Alot of my projects can be worked on while paint from other projects are drying.

Usually we do a yard haunt with tombstones, ghouls, and ghosties, but this year we trying something that we have never done before - Vampire's Castle. As a result, there are lots of things we are having to build for it. My list includes multiple foamboard walls, 12 to 15 pvc/cement support posts, a bloody fountain, a haunted mirror, and a screaming ghost. We are also planning a vampire "feast" in one room where there will be 3 or 4 vampires sitting at a table feasting on the hapless victim on the table, so we will also be building the "feasters".

Nice pics! Looks like a spooky place to visit!
