    Here's my new set of tombstones and a tomb for storage and transport I made. The tomb is made from plywood, lumber and styrofoam, the tombstones are styrofoam with 3D printed text. Everything is painted with a mixture of paint, caulk, joint compound and sand to give it a stone texture...

    I have been having the worst time with batteries the last couple of years so I’ve gone back to string lights. I like the classic feel to it. I might invest in something fancier in the future. Simon hanging out in his nest. I did hardwire the led egg sacs this year. I did have some remote led...

    Due to time constraints, I’m looking to buy some tombstones rather than make them. Has anyone found any decent ones online? I am looking to get a lot so preferably something reasonably priced. I’m new here and did a search but didn’t find anything so I apologize if this has been posted. Thanks...

    I stubbled across this post this morning: Glad to see he's putting his retirement to good use.

    @Detour asked me in another thread to describe my cemetery fence build. In case someone else might want to use it, I decided not to bury it in that other thread with a different overall purpose. Sorry in advance for the long post, but you asked for it. 😁 So here's how I chose to build my version...
  9. Halloween Props
    I've been making props for the ghost train project but took the easy way out for another section of yard, where I'm going to project videos in a graveyard. I bought three of the Atmosfx 3D inflatable forms along with the Boo Crew video package. I've begun building a small crypt to hide the...

    Hey all. Last year I introduced two plastic mannequins in the yard as witches. I'll add a picture below. I really struggled to get the mannequins to stand up to strong winds. In the Chicago area we can get some pretty bad wind storms (40+ mph) in October making it really challenging to keep...

    Hey guys, I have 5 large tombstones that I put in the front yard every year. Prior to now, I wasn't very worried as the grass was mostly weeds. This year I did major landscaping and got new flower beds and sod. I don't want to kill the grass. I usually leave my decor up all month in October (4...

    I stumbled across this real add on Etsy for actual coffin nails and graveyard dirt. For the small sum of $6.66 you can own these one-of-a-kind items.

    Over the years this forum has been chock full of some incredibly talented Halloween enthusiasts who've created unbelievable displays. I can't imagine all of you started so boldly though. We have a decade+ old thread somewhere on the forum about showing off your graveyards/haunts, but I wanted to...
  14. Edward Gorey PBS 'Mystery' Tombstone

    Above is the finished product. Below is the inspiration; a grainy screencapture from YouTube of a TV intro from a show that is 40 years old. I tried to enlarge this image enough to trace onto my foam, but it was waaay to grainy and just disintegrated... So back to the drawing board. Below is an...
  15. General Halloween
    We just watched a really good new flick called "Scary Stories To Tell In the Dark". It's a classic teenagers getting themselves in trouble during Halloween kind of "horror" flick. I'd call it more of a thriller than a horror flick. I highly recommend it, but not exactly scary. Anyway, there was...
  16. Headless Horseman 2015

    I had just moved across country and finally had a yard! This was my first big Halloween decorating! Why not celebrate it by making a giant headless horseman? Sadly it's been 4 years so I misplaced a lot of pictures. I made him out of pvc pipe, egg cartons, pillows, and duct tape. He was over 6'...

    Note: This is a repost of an old tutorial whose links to pictures were broken with the software update at HF. Stared at a pallet left behind after a delivery and thought – wow, that wood looks super old and would make a great-looking casket. I have these types of thoughts all the time. Doesn’t...
