Thy soul shall find itself alone. Mid dark thoughts of the gray tombstone. Not one, of all the crowd, to pry into thine hour of secrecy. The spirits of the dead who stood in life; before thee are again. In death around thee, and their will shall overshadow thee...

What do you do to secure your prop tombstones to the ground? The mini plastic stakes they come with are useless, last year I used paint stir sticks and duct tape which worked fine. But this year it's extra windy and it's not working too well. Thanks!

Hi All, My wife and I are doing our bit to support Halloween in Australia, we've only been doing it the last couple of years and decorated for the first time 2 years ago, looking at going bigger and better this year. In the past it's been predominantly spiders and webbing to the point...

I know there is software that allows you to specify what size object you want to make and it will break up the photo in to multiple parts so when it is all taped together it is the size you need. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the software or find it when I googled it. Does anyone...

I start this post by saying, I have enjoyed this group and the so many comments that I have read, and the many post that I have been a part of. I have been a haunter for over 35 years and a member here for just a few. The help I have gotten has made "Deadview" a very nice success and it has been...

For 2018 Shallow Grave Cemetery presents "Garden of Souls" : Enjoy

Hey guys! I wanted to share with you my YouTube page of me building some Tombstones. This IS NOT an attempt to sell stuff. This forum is for DIY'ers and I'm just sharing my work with other DIY'ers. I've been building my own Props for near 20 years now. And it seems year after year, walking into...

With Halloween 2018 a little more than a month away, I thought I'd share what Rose and I did last Halloween with my Forum family. So.... Thrill as the White Werewolf takes on the Awesome Viking for the Teak Neighborhood Grill costume crown! Gasp as an ordinary Chrysler car trunk is transformed...

My theme for this year is "Christmas Comes Too Soon, or Halloween Strikes Back" in which my house toggles back and forth between competing Christmas and Halloween decorations. I already have a prototype of one gadget that switches between a tombstone and a Christmas present, and this is a...

So I got a Dremel 3000 for my birthday. I am hoping to use it for making Tombstones. What bits do you use the most for your tombstones? The kit came with one carving bit #191 and 2 cutting bits #426 and #561. The rest of the bits are sanders and polishers. I have never used a Dremel before so...

I was thinking of 2 fog machines with chillers going across the top of my yard connected by 4in. flexable black conduit. I want to drill 1in. holes every 6-12in. along the 50ft. of the conduit to let the fog come out and roll down the hill through the tombstones. I want to put the fans in the...

I was thinking of ordering some tombstones from the Tombstone Factory this year. They can be ordered with or without bases. I was going to make my own but I keep doing other projects and putting this off. I feel like it's going to be very time consuming. For those of you that make your own or...

Hello fellow haunters! We all love to build our own props but sometimes we run short on time to do it all. I create custom tombstone props for just such events! I ship anywhere in the world and can make a stone just about any size that you want. You can find my shops on Etsy and Ebay, I also...

I'm not sure where to post this or search for it but I'm an American living in the UK and it's horrible here for haunters! I wondered if anyone knows where to get a good price on foam for tombstones? It's like being on another planet here lol. I'd love to talk to UK people about it!

Everyone at some point during their haunting endeavors has purchased and / or displayed the thin, cheap tombstones from the big box stores. Come on admit it, you know you did. We’ll there not as bad as you think. With a little foam, paint and accessories they can be transformed into something...

For 2018, I'm repeating a previous theme: Christmas v. Halloween, or, Halloween Strikes Back. (Don't you get mad seeing Christmas decorations in the stores on or before Halloween?) The house will toggle back and forth between Halloween and Christmas decorations, using mostly alternating light...

Well the weather is not being good this year. We had cold rain all day, suppose to clear but the wind is a killer. I may just put out the resin stones my pumpkins and call it a season. I will do a final weather check in the morning. Shame because the stuff I did this year which wasn't much I put...

Okay, so I am not that great at carving and I really would like to add some cool details to my tombstones that I will be making this coming year. I found these really cool molds for concrete and plaster that I thought would look pretty good on the tombstones. Here is an example of one. The...

I always hoped it would not happen to me... Last night we had a party and set up the cemetery in the front yard, but we didn't bring everything inside before bed (usually we do same day set up/take down on Halloween). This morning I woke up to see only ONE of the two massive Home Depot...

New to the forum but here is what I ended up with for my 2017 yard display *** a little weak this year because all of September I was planning a wedding*** Handmade Tombstones... Handmade Cemetery Gate... Before Paiting Cemetery Lighting at Night... Thoughts? Opinions? -Tyler
