    Now, I'm trying to get idea for what will go where. I have a skeleton to Sit on the left and right sides of the house (with red spolights) but in the middle, with the blue spolights, i was thinking a giant spider. Any ideas on how to construct that? And on top of the garage, i was thinking a giant bat, and from the house to the garage, i was thinking of hanging one of my Ghoul/Ghost props. On the from patio area, I was hoping maybe to put my Cauldron Witch Gemmy, and under the right window area, i was hoping to fix my grim reaper gemmy, and put him there, and my other grim reaper prop from last year, (its in my 2009 pictures) If you have any other ideas for what can go where, please give me them!

    Well, I'm hoping make a few more crosses, a nice few more tombstones (10-15). One special tombstone with a popper behind it, and some sort of winged demon to hover over the entire scene.

    Ok, so i have made a few more plans. I hope to do a Scene from the film Trick 'r treat, with a large sign saying "Trick 'r Treat", the same character standing by it, and a flaming pumpkin. I also hope to make a well, with an animated samara popping up and down in the well. I also hope to make a puking character, maybe a zombie puking blood. And lastly, A MIB and a few tombstones. I have no idea if I will get ALL of this done, but I guess I have loads of time. And what do you mean by Projectors in the windows? Like Hallowindow or BigScreamTv?

    Think bigger. Think "facade".

    Build some nice tower roofs for your two windows. Try adding a dead tree to the frontyard. Dirty up the house with boarded windows, webbing, etc.



    Also, build up the garage to look like a witches shack or something creepy.

    Is there anyway you can put up the same photo, only with the tree removed? And when you upload it, ill save it, and can you please remove it from photo bucket.

    WOW. that would look amazing. I'll have to see what I can do. I want to do something with Facades that can't damage the house. And It will be VERY windy in area around halloween, always is, so what would you construct the tower facade pieces out of? and same for the boarded windows, how would you attach that as so it doesn't damage the siding, or windows themselves? and lastly, how do you think I could construct the spider?

    I have build huge facade pieces out of strips of wood and styrofoam sheets. I have several threads on the subject as well as a few PDF tutorials on my website.

    For the baorded up windows, I would again turn to styrofoam. You can burn in a realistic wood grain and cut out whatever size board you need. I would work with 3/4" or even 1" foam for stability.

    Here are some picks from my "Slaughtered Lamb" pub facade.
