HI everyone
just a quick post to introduce myself.
i am from yorkshire in england. we have been creating a halloween friendly house for about 5 years now, using the typical plasticy props etc that you get from and card shop (e.g. happy halloween signs, spiders webs and flashing pumpkins).
obviously in the uk halloween is not that big a deal, and everyone used to say that our house was the best they had seen (although we didn't have much competition).
we moved house 2 years ago and have limited success (not as many visitors) using the same decorations with just a couple new ones each year. i would rate it as "making an effort, without been too offensive, and generally ok - but could be a lot better".
as stated above we didn't have any competition until last year......when the house up the road (about 200yds) you know the one that has to out do all others with its christmas lights etc, decided to get into the halloween scene....
well we are not going to take this lying in our coffin, and we have decided to blow them out of the water......
i am currently building several props, some animated, some static, we are buying a fog machine, making a haunted tunnel, a graveyard etc....
lets hope it rocks!!
