Thread: Halloween 2010 @ my house

Tweet

This is what I put together for this year. Just a couple pics for now that I took before I got into costume, if I see anymore that others took I will add them. A lot of it was from the last 2 years (tombstones, creepy guy on the house and in the tree, lights...) but this year I put solar lanterns in the yard and they looked like they were floating. Spider was new and so were the teeth, they were a huge hit with everyone.
Next year I am going to add some fog into the mix and go with a couple pneumatics. Might actually use the inside of the garage to throw everyone off (people always think something is behind the curtains :lol: )
Enjoy! Friends, family and neighbors sure did.
Next year the house needs eyes!!

Very clever on the garage doors and love the spider!

Nice... did you make the spider?

Yes I did. I have to say a big thanks to members ScaryGarry and Spider Rider whom posted some great info on building a spider, it was very helpful. I was able to put it together in a couple days.

I also love the garage door covers and the spider... very spooky!!!!!

And I love the grim reapers!

Over the garage they are just black curtains, the garage door is up because behind them I have the laptop hooked up to some speakers playing halloween type music.
I needed about 7 curtains for a 16' wide garage so they could hang comfortably, the real pain was figuring out how to hold them so they didn't fly around with the wind while not creating a death trap behind the curtains in case anyone had to walk back there

I love the garage door! Looks fang-tastic

Yay a spider! Can I post a pic of it on my website? Several people were building one but yours is the first I've seen pics of

Wow... Great spider. What you did to the garage gives me ideas for next year...

Go for it! Your spider was a major inspiration for me to start mine, next year I am going to modify it a bit. I have a few other pics but I think I was so caught up with getting everything out on Halloween that I forgot to take close-up pics of the finished product.
I put everything together starting 2 weeks before Halloween, things were hectic.

Thanks! Can't wait to see what you do with the idea. I am going to change it up a little for next year, the house is going to have eyes this time around.

One thing I have neglected over the past 2 years is eerie lighting. It has always been a few strobes in the yard and some purple strands on the house, 2011 GETS EERIE LIGHTING UPGRADES! I have seen some great examples on this forum.
