Hello I just joined today.
Every October it becomes really easy to locate my place, I'm sure many people here can relate.
If you want to see some pictures of what I built in 2017 check out my gallery.
Last years theme was Ghostbusters haunted artifacts.
People really enjoyed being able to interact with the display.
Our photo booth was Vigo the Carpathian's throne of blood being guarded by Zuul & Vince.
There was a talking Vigo "painting" in the background of the photo booth, a containment unit with animated peppers ghost slimer,
a "blood" bath fountain in a small haunted graveyard, the gray lady reading the Necronomicon & my husband's Ghostbusters themed van.
Normally we hand candy out by hand, last year my wonderful husband gave me Raggedy Ann doll. I named her Annabelle.
I decided to have her pass out candy from another dimension. The Trick or Treator would have to reach inside a book which Annabelle was sitting in a chair watching over. Annabelle was rigged so she would sit up so she could see what candy came out of the book.
She creeped a lot of people out. Winky in C minor was playing just loud enough it could only be heard while standing near the book.
The thick book was hollowed out with black very deep pillow case attached. This was screwed to a cloth covered table with a hole in the middle. When someone said "Trick Or Treat" we told them the candy was in the other dimension & pointed to the book. We made it a point to pour candy into the book while people were watching. When people opened the book the candy couldn't be seen. Some were brave enough to stick their arm in most were not. My kids would reach inside the book and pass out candy to the little kids & some scared adults. LOL
2018 Halloween theme is Ghostbusters being called out to remove Betelgeuse.
The high striker will be used to pass out full size candy bars. Everyone that tries will get fun sized bars.
