columns

Note: This is a repost of an old tutorial whose links to pictures were broken with the software update at HF. Are you needing an impressive entrance to your haunt because currently it's just a tarp and the ToTs walk right by it? Walla! Plus - this helps set the mood to the horrors that wait...

Hey all, Looking for 12"+ gargoyle figures to put on my cemetery gate columns this year. I've look all over and it seems what I find is either too small, or too large/expensive. Anyone know of a good source? Thx.

2 Columns with flickering flame LED lamps, stand 65" tall to the top of the lamp. Faux stones attached. Asking $125 for the pair, pickup in Arizona

Was in Target this week and saw these kind of cool Harry Potter-licensed lamps. The bulb sits down inside the base. For anyone doing a Potter theme though these might look great on two entrance columns for example. Didn't see the price on them and might be up on the website. They were refreshing...

This year I added a new set of entrance columns to my haunt. My inspiration was the entrance columns to the Disney Haunted Mansion in Disneyland. I wanted to add a gate but ran out of time. I used of a lot of the techniques found in the youtube links listed at the end of the post. I built my...

Picked up these last year from HD and was inspired as our house has a cemetery theme. I wanted to mount them on the columns on either side of our front door so I cut the back of the skulls off using a jig saw and then epoxied a piece of wood towards the top to act as a mount. Originally they...

Hi everyone - this is my first post here after lurking for several years. I'd like to say thanks for all of the inspiration and ideas. This is a great place. The column on the left has a moving leering skeleton that I built in 2016. This year, I made a new column, with some modifications and...

I've built and my lady painted a set of cemetery columns to fit the end corners of our cemetery at horroween333.com. We've yet to see how they will look in place however I'm wondering if they need a little something more. Suggestions?

Spent the weekend making some columns for each side of our cemetery gate. I made them from foam blocks with a pipe inside. I found some AWESOME lights on Amazon for the tops. They are solar powered, urn shaped, and have flame effect leds inside. Couldn't ask for a better match to use on cemetery...

This year I'm planning on building a new set of columns so I'd love to hear some feedback on how you've built yours when it comes to getting them to stay put. In the past, I built columns that were pretty lightweight - a wood frame covered with rigid foam. I'd hammer 4 pieces of rebar into the...

Here are some of the pics of my yard this year. I'm just about done. I started building everything around the last week of September and have been going nonstop ever since! I got a lot of ideas off of here and youtube, but I tried to add a little change to each to personalize it. There were a...

Got started on my new "entry" columns for the haunt. I decided to make there a little wider and taller than my previous ones, just to have a more distinguished entry for my haunt. My old columns are 12''x44'', my 2 new columns are 16''x48''. I will have a Leering skeleton on top of one of them...

I am making some foam columns to go out side with my scarecrow I have all the plans but one problem came up. how to I stop them blowing away? for the last 3 day we have had mild wind its also taking up my tombstones what can I do to secure them? they plans say to use lawnstakes but they well...

Decided that my cemetery columns could use an upgrade this year. I built them last year on a tight budget due to our wedding in November. They came out fine but not what I was hoping for. As you can see, they were OK, nothing special, but a solid base to build off of. I got 1" foam from work...

Back story: My previous cemetery fence was supported every 16' with a column made out of a frame of 2x3's, covered with 1" styrofoam, and had a base and cap made up of 16" square concrete paving blocks. There were 5 columns and 64' of fence which was set up in a U shape. The fence posts stood...

I have some columns that Im not really sure what to do with. These ones have skulls with leds in them. I want to do something else with them. The other 2 (main columns) have laterns on the front and flaming cauldrons on the top. I do know that I want to distress them as well. So any ides or...

This is my first post in the forums, so if this is in the wrong section, please let me know and I'll put it where it belongs. I am the Indoor Percussion Coordinator for a high school percussion group. The year our show was called Mortem Venatus ~ Game of the Dead. We would like to recoup some...

I found these skulls for 99 cents from Walgreen's after Halloween and knew I wanted to make my fence column tops out of them. Quick little photo to see the stages. I primed them and painted them antique copper and a quick patina and they are just what I wanted

Hey all. I need the experts' help!! :o I was going to set up my graveyard this year with fencing all the way around my yard, but in early October I decided to take on a last minute build project to add columns and a gate. I just felt that it added a little more wow factor. Because of the...
