The Haunting of Green Berry has taken a turn. We are moving into a Freak Show Carnevil Haunted Circus theme. Actually I see carnival themes everywhere for the past year since The Greatest Showman came out.

I have been trying to emphasize the Freak Show aspect a little bit more than just clowns in a haunted circus / carnevil. Most of the props are halfway built, but here is what I was able to put up yesterday and today...

Tomorrow there is another big haul coming out from the basement.

Nice layout and well done.
Love the graveyard pumpkin. Do you mind sharing how you made him?

Here is the thread I kept while building him.

Here's the end result for the ticket booth! The poles and sign disassemble from the base. The base's sides are hinged so they can fold flat. And the whole thing can be stored much more efficiently.

Great props and love the theme. It's one I've been saving up for doing one of these years and really like how you incorporated the hoop lady. Great idea for the colorful crates. Did you have your carnival signs printed through a banner company or did you buy them, really nice in any event. All beautifully done in a scary way!

Oh and almost forgot I wanted to comment on the great clown costumes!!

The three clown costumes at the top of the thread were sewn/gifts from my mother. I think she was surprised at how much fabric they really took.

The freak show signs I got at Transworld last year. I forget the vendors name... If I think of it I will post it.

 

[Ghost of Spookie]

Your mom did a fabulous job on those! Pass the compliment on to her for me please. And those clowns do look pretty tall so guess the comment on the amount of fabric isn't too surprising.

The major addition to the set in 2019 was the clown mouth entrance. It was made from 3 4x8 plywood panels, pool noodles and great stuff for a bit of dimension. Inside the screened in porch it is blacked out and I use a rear screen projection of clowns from AtmosFX.
