Finally I got 95% of what I wanted up and here are my pics for this year:

Forum members prior to next year will probably notice that I haven't changed much.....wellllll I haven't!! #1 reason - we had a ton of broken props this year and got a very late start, #2 reason - having a creative mental block and I want to come up with something more imaginative, #3 reason - I still REALLY like it as is - so there you go! We did add a spider web victim and made our gravedigger stand with help from bucky stand instructions on www.halloween-online.com.

I hope you enjoy the pics. We've had HUGE support from our neighborhood which has been great and always makes the blood, sweat and tears worthwhile.

Here is my favorite (accidental) pic. Some kids were visiting last night and they walked in front of me while I was taking pictures. Check out the feet on the sidewalk. A great unintentional photo!! They were so excited when I showed them how they had turned in to ghosts!!! Please check out the full album as well. Happy Halloweeeeeeeeeeen!

Mindblowing! Your yard is amazing and full of details. I've been through the pics twice already. :-) Love the real spider making a web amongst the fake webs.

Thanks Halloween 71 and Giles!

@Giles - the spider was NOT my favorite part. It is really big and I think I have permanent goosebumps now!!! People were actually asking me if we MADE the spider as a prop - LMAO. To top it off, right after the spider made her home I found a praying mantis on the blacklight in the crypt. There was screaming and running involved!!! ;-)

Looks outstanding, Pandora!
I'll say it again---you've got the best and most colorful lighting set-up I've ever seen. Wish I could come close to something that good.

Thanks Dave! I still need to get those clay pots you mentioned to cover my floods. I tried harder to cover them up this year and hide them where I could- but some are still peeking and need pots to cover them up!!
