Spotty light rain Halloween night... clear enough for trick or treaters, but not for pictures and video, which were taken the night before.

My yard is finally starting to come together, so I wanted to share some pictures! I still have a few more scenes I want to set up but I've run out of skeletons. >_<
Today's task is adding lighting and music!
Hey y'all! We live in Tennessee, we have several inflatables and slugs keep getting in them. Any idea how to prevent this from happening without either ruining my yard or the inflatable itself?
Super excited that it's only 145 days away from Halloween! This year, for our fourth Party Haunt at this residence, we are doing a clown/carnival theme. We've had a few planning sessions, began prop building and and started the build a bit early to ensure we can add the all fine touches.
We...
Well, after reading posts on this forum for years, I decided we should just join. Unless, of course, we used to be Members and I just forgot our information. LOL Have been listening to Halloween Radio for a long time.
We have been celebrating Halloween together (AR, FL, OK, and now MS) and...
Hi all! First, I will preface this with - not sure how to categorize this!, as its not really a prop Q, and not really a music-specific question either. Rather a general speakers set up..
In the past, I've run with a Jambox (company now obsolete, I think - but essentially a mobile BLUETOOTH...
I know this topic has been beaten to death.....but I am trying to do something slightly different. Maybe some of you with extensive knowledge on airflow and pipe sizing may help.
I have a chauvet 1600 fogger, plenty of fog, and good velocity coming out.
I would like to create a grid system in...
What would the average size motor be for an Axworthy Ghost? I will be using a lightweight ghoul head with foam arms and cheesecloth so he will be not weigh much at all and my yard is maybe 60 feet across so the cable he will travel on will be about 130ft. I have never built one of these and I...
Hi, everybody :)
Longtime lurker of this site, but my husband and I are trying to really grow our yard display, and I decided to finally get more active in this community that has really inspired me the past few years. We've been starting to do more homemade props recently, and I've learned a...
The mermaid skeleton came! She is gorgeous!!! Rather than a typical bone color, she is kind of grayish, with a bendy tail. She'll certainly look better than our old mermaid, which was a regular Bucky type, with a homemade tail. Due to a house move, we couldn't Halloween last year, and when I...
Some pics of our yard haunt from 2018. Had a lot of fun with this theme. I didn't have the chance to display the Wasp props I got from Nevermore Productions, but those will be setup this year. Also the last 3 pics was taken a week before we setup the awesome sewer facade from Nevermore Productions.
As with any decorating, certain judgement calls come up when creatively expressing ourselves through our Halloween haunts. I bring this up because I've only been having fun with this for a handful of years, yet I've already run into quandaries. Just in the first and second years in this...
I was curious what the consensus is for outside decorations.* Since Halloween items begin to go on sale as soon as Memorial Day is over, when do you like to start letting everyone know you are "open for business" in October? We've been doing about three weeks out from October 31st. Does...
Here is a video and some pictures of our yard haunt. Warning...this is a pic heavy thread.

After I moved here and produced my first Halloween yard my neighbors asked what I was going to do for Christmas. I had no idea that I moved onto a road where everyone did Christmas displays.
So I slowly transitioned into a Nightmare Before Christmas theme. Each year I just make or add one...
So my Christmas theme is NBC and i wanted rod iron on my house well since i do not have any i made my own version with the dollar tree yard bat stakes that you get 2 for 1.00
I then painted some boards black and then i layed a set out of the yard stakes to mark holes to be drilled that i...
Hi all,
Halloween isn't as popular in the UK as it is in the US, but I'm hopefully going to change that over the next few years as I build my drive / front garden (yard?) display, well at least in my leafy part of West Sussex anyway.
I have a lot of prop building experience (R2D2, 2 x Daleks...
