We've always run a hard core scary haunt and its always bothered us that adults would literally drag their children kicking and crying through it.
With that said...
We decided last year that our haunt has gotten too large to host in our front yard any longer so we're going to do a bigger one in our backyard this year.
We were wondering what to do with the front and have decided on doing a 'soft haunt' for the little tykes up there. We're doing a "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" thing and began making the pieces/props for it.
Here are a couple of progress pics (I think they're coming out great!)...
In this next pic, Charlie Brown is uncut (That just sounds bad, sorry LOL)
I want to add that people always sound off on how they think I'm such a great artist, but the unsung hero on this project is hubby. Particle board never cuts easy and he is doing a fantastic job cutting and sanding on this one.

Great job! The kiddies are going to LOVE it!
You remind me of the babe. What babe? The babe with the power. What power? The power of voodoo. Who do? You do. Do what?
Remind me of the babe.

A soft haunt for the kiddies and a regular haunt in the back for everyone else, what a great idea.
Everyone gets entertained .
Your and hubby do great work, you two work well together.Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional

thats a good idea, that way every one gets to enjoy your haunt, kiddies and bigger "kiddies". Your Peanuts characters are looking good!!
I have flying monkeys- and I'm not afraid to use them!
