Hi All,

Here is this year's "haunt", if you would even call it that... Everything was created with 1/4" plywood and acrylic paints. I first sketched the images on wood, then cut the outlines with a jig saw and mixed paint to match the colors as closely as I could. I used a matte finish spray to protect from the elements. I hope you enjoy!

Make your own version.
My thing this year is the Great Pumpkin , but in my scenario the Great Pumpkin and his wife actually arrive so Sally and Linus are no longer humiliated.

I want to send out positive messages in a veey scary time for the very young.
I made my my Linus and Sally together in pumpkin patch & the rest of the gang trick or treating tombstone style. Snoopy is 3D paper mache. And the Great Pumpkin and his wife are made of spray foam over 2 different size, but large PT balls.
I also made a bunch of normal size pumpkins either paper mache or spray foam.
My hosta garden will become my pumpkin patch.
The rest if yard will be my cemetery, with three witches on the deck and Frankenstein's monster, a ghost, a wizard and 3 zombie cowboys ( the younger brothers were part of the Jesse James gang and captured just outside of my town. I had to sneak a little history into my display)
