Hey there, just finished taking a few pics of our stuff from this year. We have three distinct areas in the upper lawn, and in the sideyard is the graveyard. This is one of the first years we decided to spread things out, so forgive me if things seem a bit sparse.

Here are some of the aliens and our crashed UFO.







THis little guy was carrying parts for the ship to service it, but I took out one of them to get a better shot of the legs. He is really decieving, because he is so small, I can just stuff his pants and he supports himself, with the other leg having a pole running through it.



Here is a shot of the ship at night. My camera is incrediably blurry when ever I try to get pics at night, so I am sorry if it is just a purple and orange mess.




I will probably only be able to get these ones up today, but I have more pics to come.

hey, my night pics are blurry too, we both need a tripod! love the alien theme!! the crashed space ship is cool, love it at night, blurry shot and all!!

Aliens always seem to creep people out. Nice job.

^ and chainsaws. idk y?

Thanks guys! I just go some pics of our Pirate Ship, unfortunately the wind has gotten to it somewhat, but I think it still gets the basic look of it.



Some Pirate prisoners (and a jail bird?) hanging from the trees next to the PVC pirate pole.



We had made our captain for last year, but never had a chance to get him up (mainly because he couldnt stand unsupported). This year we were planning on making a wheel out of an old stool, but then I ended up getting a real wheel from Christmas Tree, so the stool just sat there. Lucky for us I had come PVC laying around, so we put that over one of the legs of the stool, filpped it over, and ran the pipe up the legs of Captain Blucky's costume, and zipped him to it. We use the tut for making blucky hands more realistic to get his hand to grasp the wheel. A few bricks later, and we had a free standing Captain Blucky! Now if I could only find a way to keep his head on....




Again, i am soo sorry about the night pics, it was really windy that night, and the head kept falling off of our captain, so I really have no good pics of it from before Halloween. Here is a night shot though, make of it what you will.





I will try to get some pics of our spiders this year too, so look for those to come!

Looks great!The alien stuff is creepy and loved the looks of the pirate ship with crew!
