This year one of my areas was a "body" shop and I'm toying with the idea of a witch area. I've started working on some small stuff just playing around but I've got some ideas I'm working on. My most pressing idea is how to cover such large wall and ceiling spaces.

Hallow BG and WHY Cover it! Sounds like a barn would be PERFECT for any Halloween theme area. ANd if you set up a variety of themes -- just think of all the Kodak spots you have created for your guests to get their pics taken in front of? For next year - I say don't bother covering it up -- You can enhance it all with webs and other decor props ie light projections, tree limbs, corn stalks, hay bales. Bring the outdoors indoors and I think you will be able to put a few "witches in the woods" around a cauldron in a corner of the barn with no trouble! (Have you seen the HF thread for fake cauldron "fire" you can make with Great Stuff and lights? That's one I want to try making for next year.)

I am sooo envious! IMO -- A barn is the ideal spot for a Halloween party. Do you have pics from this year? As for planning now - I totally agree. I can't stop thinking about next year AND the year after! LOL (Shoot -- Ahh bullame this dern Halloween Forum by golly!!)
BOO!

All in good time, My dear friend....All in good time.

Oh yes. Even as I box and label the props that I've taken down, I'm sketching and getting material for another witch to put on the roof. I'll probably start assembing her next month. After that, there's the lightning simulator, the cemetery sign, another fog chiller,...

Hell yeah! Started a thread like this in Costume Ideas. Doing the Dead Snow theme, have an entire group going as Nazi Zombies. The only difficulty for me will be finding the uniforms and then altering a few for the ladies, can't get Nazi uniform costumes in the US, gotta gettem in the UK.
Heres what they look like:

The prince of England got in trouble for dressing as a Nazi.
Personally, living in europe and seeing what the Nazi's did here and feeling how deep the wounds still are....I think its a tasteless idea.

Wow, thought here of ALL places was where I could be free to be just whatever I please. Watch the movie, that's where it's coming from. I think the FX where we are coming from will be awesome. Remember, it is a HORROR movie amd we will be DEAD and we will be ZOMBIES. I'll let it go at that. Seems, everyone else I am friendly with on this site seems to think it'll be pretty badass.

I think the Zombie factor makes it totaly different deal!

If you were just a platoon of Nazi's yeah that would be tasteless, but you will be gored up dead snow Zombies.. different world entirely... to me anyways.

For the coat and hat check the local army navy surplus stores. Also check for any police outfitters as I believe most NY cops wear that style of hat. Good Luck

You are free to be whatever you please. And just because I have a different opinion doesnt make me less friendly or nice. Forums are about exchanging ideas, information and opinions. My opinion is just one of many. And we all know that opinions are like *********, everyone has one
And like I said, I live in europe and that's where my perpective is coming from.
Good luck with your theme.
