This years motto is get it done... even if it means cheesy inflatables being present... yes... you heard me...

Frank surveys the hood...

The inside of my now closed in deck... I got the roof on tonight so my castle is now rain and snow proof... I can safely put out the $$$ props.

The graveyard with the Tree Inflatable.

Another front shot.

The escaping bluckies.

Lit shot of the tree in case you haven't seen the 8 Foot inflatable spooky tree.

I LOVE it!! It really looks fantastic at night too (esp. the spooky tree) The great thing about this forum is you get to see SO many different kinds of haunting: super-scary, eerie, realistic, fantasy etc. How many TOTS do you figure you get each year?

i love your spooky tree! and i agree we need all kinds of props and stuff. my stuff is all dorky cheesy homeade. its boring if its all the same,also lets not forget that its all about the trick or treaters and the blow ups show a child freindly house! keep up the good work-amy

all things considerd, i'll take the zero.

You know... last year was my first year... I only decided to do it a couple night before.. I had maybe the standard 40 kids go by...

This year I've been getting alot of creepy slow driveby traffic (I'm not on a main street) so who knows... The inflatable stuff is sort of filling space this year until I can create some monstermud props during the off season next year... I blew my whole summer last year landscaping my yard so this year I only have a month to get ready... I had to make a list of things I wanted to make... the Castle room was one of them and the tombstones were another...

Whats funy is I have some very expensive Spencer's type props I'm putting in the 10 x 14 castle room so the freindly inflatables are kind of a lure to get the kids inside where I'll have the scarey stuff, the air cannons and the pneumatic Simple Pop-up hiding...

I'll have to set up my video camera... hehe

I love the escaping buckies.

I could feel the soft, shivering touch of the lips on the sensitive skin of my throat, and the hard dents of two sharp teeth, there I closed my eyes in langorous ecstasy and waited, waited with beating heart-Bram Stoker
