This year I will be dressing up as an insane butcher weilding a chainsaw for our haunt. We do the haunt in our yard and I will essentially be hanging about our shed and scaring children.
I'm looking for ideas for props/setting/costumes that would help to tie this in. I realize that it doesn't really fit well into the graveyard idea per se, but I was trying to get it to. Lots of dug up graves and body parts? Hold my shovel and pick up the chainsaw at the last minute? [?][?][?]
All ideas are appreciated!

make a tombstone that says trash, and if you aren't opposed to digging in your yard, dig a small hole in front of it and make a stuffed torso or a bloody limb and throw it in there when people come up.

you could make another that says strage and make it look like a fresh grave also.

demons to some, angels to others

We are doing ours at the window where little kids walk by...but we are doing a butcher table with a body, body parts, tons of blood, head sitting in a bucket, etc type look sitting on it. My husband is dressed up kinda like a butcher and is going to be there "hacking" at the body (not looking up at the kids)...when the doorbell rings, he is going to drop to look out the window, grab another knife and walk to the door. You might be able to do a similar type look outside?

Good luck!
