Posting a pic anyways you can take it down if you want. This is a partial of what we do each year, The Pumpkins are all hand carved and average 270-300 lbs ( small last year ) Toe pincher buried coffins made from old rook boards and skids, talking skulls inside the two coffins at the bottom of the steps came from Spencers clearance rack $12,00 the gray tombstone in the back is made from corrugated cardboard ( I do have shots of it in progress )
The Banshee we made from chicken wire $8.00 and $15.00 in cheese cloth a animated skull form a clearance center 6.00 .Large black coffin on the right side of the steps, old bits and pieces of ply wood and trim ( built this 12 years ago about $20.00 into that 0 uses a ford wiper motor to open and close 10.00 The bride is just an old brides dress covered in blood with a plastic skeleton head and arms in side .The large skull in the top left side is attached to a 15 foot assembly of 2x4’s and made of wood size is 7 feet tall 4.5 feet wide all out of old scrap wood (12 years old )This years props I will take shots during creating and post it

I have more of the left side of the yard that includes 4 full size skeletons as pallbearers carrying a coffin thru the front yard more tombstones and pumpkins .. I’m just a Halloween Freak
