Just a display, elaborate, but just a display. My yard is not big enough for a walk through, and it seems like a walk through is a lot more work than I am willing to do.
Its so nice to be insane, no one asks you to explain...

We live in townhouses and are lucky enough to be in an end unit. In fact, ours has a bridge, with a large 'pit' on the side, and open area on the other side at the end of it.
The haunt used to just be a display, but in the last two years, grew to a walk-through. Nothing is enclosed, just a marked path.

I do a display in my front yard. The yard is divided by the walkway up to my door. The display is themed, and the larger section of yard has multiple scenes, the smaller section is devoted to a cemetery to complement the theme.

I have the room and am willing to have a walk through but I have no help at all. The past few years my husband has manned the Imagineerieing (sp?) Magic Mirror and refuses to relinquish his duty. My kids are grown so I am stuck. We did try a walk through once and the parents and little kids loved it. Of course the teenagers said it was lame. So I guess I will stick with the displays..though they keep getting more elaborate!

I have 3 displays (Graveyard, witches and full sized figures). The sidewalk leading to my steps separates the first two (Zombie & Witches), I also have a third one (Figures) on the side of the house. I live on a corner and have two sidewalks.

Yeah we just do display too. Don't have a big enough garage or yard to do otherwise and can't let people in the backyard due to dogs and pool.

Ours is very small so it's only a display. It encompasses the front yard and our garage. There are some ideas to expand into the backyard, and make it more of a walk-through in the future. Not sure when though.

I set up a display in the front yard at the beginning of October but on Halloween I have a walk through in the backyard. So my vote would have to be both if it were on there.
We dont need a body bag, we need a bucket.............and a strainer.
