gravestones

First up the Facelift stone. I really hated (happens when you let the kids decide on names) this stone and it ran its course so ... updated it Before: After:

Hi I've been working on 3 new stones for this year. They are pretty intense and I should have pictures up next week. Working on the extras for the stones. Has anyone made new stones for this year. I have seen some pretty cool things people have come up with and done over the last few years. So...

Fully machined gravestones with custom epitaphs. $35each. Minimum of 4 per order. Shipping costs will be added. These are approx 16" x 24 and 3" deep. They come with LED lighting inside so you just need to hook up to a transformer. Really cool effect for your cemetery this Halloween!

Thanks for all your advice on how to engrave my gravestones after I already painted them. I went with the drimmel and a crafting edger to carve into them and just repainted over the carved out area. They're turning out pretty well! (pictures soon) I need some ideas on what to put on the rest...

Funky little plywood gravestones I made and the LED mini mini spotlights I made today being tried out in the back yard. http://www.halloweenforum.com/tutorials-and-step-by-step/155313-mini-mini-ground-led-spotlight.html

Lil Ghouliette wants to do Halloween Town in her office this year. I have crocheted a Zero and today I made a crooked fence panel to go in front of her counter at work. When we put it up there will be three gravestones behind the fence one of which will be Zero's. I think the fence panel came...

I seem to run through these cheap handheld cutters from Michaels. Do you have any recommendations for hot wire foam cutters for cutting foam board for things like gravestones etc? BTW - if this isn't in the right place, please let me know where I should submit these. I have a few more :)

Hi All, Some pictures from 2015. The columns have lit lanterns and a mirror ball. On either side is a halogen floodlight hooked up to a lightning machine. You can see the sound source at lower right. Farther back by the gates is a Line 6 sound system, there are Chauvet lights & lasers to the...

After Halloween I tend to go to Halloween city or Spirit to find clearance items that I can use to animate some of the gravestones. Also rather than rely on the motion or sound detector to set them off I take the demo button, sever it from the outlet, and extend the wiring to a homemade pressure...

After working on it for a few days straight, I finally finished up (well mostly finished) my new celtic cross prop. I still need to add some moss and some ivy but that will come later. I am including a couple progress pics along the way. That's my husband with one of my dachshunds to give you...

Hey everyone. Years ago I built some gravestones out of plywood and attached a 2x4 to the back of each one with some nails to secure them into the ground. Well after years of sitting out behind the shed through winters and all kinds of harsh weather, they're truly rotten and crumbling, and they...

Hello fellow haunters, this year I unfortunately got a job and don't have the time to build my own tombstones. Can anyone recommend a place with the highest quality and most realistic gravestones available? I have found ghostly gravestones and abracadaver but wonder if you know of any others...

How do you keep your gravestones made out of styrofoam from blowing away. I live at the top of a hill in the country and it is windy 24-7? This is probably old hat to many of you, so please bear with me!:confused:

Threw these together over the weekend. We think they're perfect!

Hello my fellow HF family! I do not promote nor endorse many companies too often but when I do, I definitely endorse Abracadaver Productions! I've bought many misc props over the years from Larry(owner of Abracadaver Props in Fullerton, Ca) since early 2003. Many photo's in my profile albums...

This was my yard: Things to note were the fogger pumped through the jack o'lantern and the primary fogger pumped through the koi pond to make an organic fog chiller :) The body parts and ground buster were illuminated by strobe light and not pictured is the giant spider and web. I was severely...

I want to project ghosts coming up from the ground in my graveyard, but, need a semi-transparent material (like landscaping mesh cloth), know also could use screen door material (might be costly) that's dark in color. any ideas ? It needs to be transparent enough to see items behind such as...

3 Generations working together!!

What's the best type of styrfoam when making gravestones? Or best material, for that matter. Normally we have wooden ones but this year i want to add detail to them so i decided i want to use styrofoam so i can carve them however i want.
