History
Started with a 2 homemade tombstones around 2007. have only found pics back to 2010. 2015 was the year I stepped it up and will be in another showcase. Moved in July of 2019 so will have a new Haunt starting this year. Nearly everything is custom built, except the skeletons. You may catch a glimpse of my 2 sons in some of the pictures.
2010: Sorry for the crappy pictures, had a crappy camera! looking for some better pictures buried away somewhere. Trying to find some pics for 2010.
2011: Worked more on the lighting and build some new fencing. First year for the Pumpkin Carving party, hence all the pumpkins.
2012: Not much new this year. Had fun with some flaming pumpkins. Green fire was my favorite.
2013: Tried to go with a Spider theme on one side of the yard, made the web myself. first year for building the Laboratory in the garage. Not many good pictures, I'm always to busy to take them, and regret it later.
2014: Not much new in the yard this year. really focused on the lab in the front half of the garage.
Friends and family come over every year for a pumpkin carving party.
Mixed the Cemetery and torture chamber together this year, just to keep things fresh.
If you can't ready the names, This is Abbey Normal and Hans Delbruck, YES I'm a hug Young Frankenstein fan. Bonus on Abbey, I hook a fog machine to the back and it pours out of the mouth.
My zombie / gravedigger son William taking a break in my electric chair. You can see the Jacob's ladder on the back of the chair.
Evolution of my garage workshop in the mad Scientist Laboratory:
Here you can see the tombstones were still just painted plywood. They get major face-lift in 2015 and remodel in 2018. Last year for this scarecrow, he caught on fire (you notice that is a running theme with me)
It's pronounced Eye-Gore! My other son Alex hanging out in the Lab next to the 'monster table'
