I bet it was tough trading him off - he's huge and scarrrry!

Stealing! It's so perfect for a apocalypse haunt.

Just try it and see what it feels like to get beat over the head with a paint gallon and then poked in the eye with the airbrush....

Thought for a second that was a picture of a real tombstone in a cemetery - WOW!

That was amazing video. I was reading somewhere else where they snarked... "Remember at the end of The Blob movie where they air dropped it into Alaska? It adapted." heh The video was so cool thought I'd embed it here at the forum:

I'll admit - if I was to do this to some of my later stones (Raven, Blackbeard) not sure I could pull the trigger (pardon the pun) :) But, these stones were old to me so I was like... MUH HA HA HAAAAA!!!!!

Wow, it's becoming more beautiful with every update. Love the one little spider - awesome touch.

That's your first prop?! You are off to an amazing start and welcome to the forum :)

Nice look even for all year. Great idea

Now that's some sweet prop eye candy! Welcome to the forum :)

Thanks very much everyone! :) Thanks Gym. My neighborhood is the kind that graffiti would be especially shocking because it's as suburban as you could get so was never concerned about that. But, maybe something that people near urban areas may want to consider.

Terrific scene and perfect for a party!

Darn near spit out my coffee with your new prop idea. Funny!

Verrrry scary prop!

No problem if you don't have an airbrush. You could simply go old school and use regular spray paint cans. Additionally, there are now artist versions of graffiti spray paint that is acrylic and you can get different nozzle sizes that adjust air pressure and spray pattern (pencil thin to large). They look to be quite fun actually: http://www.dickblick.com/products/montana-gold-acrylic-professional-spray-paints/?clickTracking=true&CAWELAID=520010530000095154 Though not officially black...

Tag your Tags: To help convey that the graveyard was disputed territory go back over all the graffiti tags and tag them again. Do as many layers as you'd like. In fact, I think if I had kept going the stones would have looked even better. At this stage, the graffiti is new and very colorful. Too colorful and too new in fact. So, all that color must be taken down in vibrancy and aged. What's the best way to do that? More tea-staining, of course!

Thank for the info. Just by chance we happened to be able to go to the Christmas party and luuuuuved it. So, the next year we made special plans to go to the Halloween one and luuuuved that too. Now I've got two more to go to :) Here's my video of the Halloween party:

I love that and what a friendly Halloween display for the little ones. Thanks for taking those pictures! Question: Is the Flower and Garden show an event on par with the Mikey's Not So Scary Halloween and his Christmas Party?
