Some pictures of the decorations and from our party which was Peanuts-themed.

A friend in a warped Teddy (or is it deady) bear costume, with his little tagalong buddy.

Us in our costumes on top of costumes

Artist and easel - pretty clever and easy to do!

Quint and HOOPER!

Zombie soccer mom - At first I thought she was a soccer mom that got into a fight with the referee!

Come on down! It's THE PRICE IS RIGHT!

I loved the way her clown costume glowed under the blacklight

Lucy at her psychiatric booth. Made out of cardboard.

Welcoming you into the haunt.

Blue strobe onto corpse in real casket. Very effective.

Some elements. Much less effective with a flash!

Dining room before the party. Less elaborate than in past years.

The "Pumpkin Patch" ...

...and the Peanuts Trick or Treat gang.

What do you do when your garden cherubim loses her head? Make a Halloween prop out of her!

House from the driveway.

Closeup of the pall bearers.

Had to move the lawn tractor out from the garage so might as well make it part of the display. Fog machine under the tractor operated via remote. In the back is my new Twitching Banshee. I am very pleased with her.

The fog from the machine really enhanced the pictures.

Our greeter wishes you adieu...and pleasant screams!

Thanks folks. The link above has some other pics (and some duplicates) of the Peanuts themed decorations. We are both big fans of Peanuts and the Great Pumpkin special - it wouldn't be Halloween without seeing it on broadcast TV. This was a fun theme.

Nice combination of scary and funny. How did you do the stone wall effect? Is it paper or carved styrofoam or what?

The walls are 4x8 sheets of painted cardboard. I actually tossed them out after Halloween this year. They were getting bent and warped from humidity, and after using them for ..9 years?, I'm ready to do something different.
