I just started my own business being an owner/operator hotshot. Attached is a picture of my new 22' trailer that I park in front of my house. Now I wanna integrate and utilize my trailer into my Halloween display. I've thought about just placing carved pumpkins along the edges or even putting some hey bales in the middle and making it a photo opp. You ghouls and goyels got any ideas?

Is your intention for the trailer to be stationary at your home (or another location), or is it going to be a mobile display, maybe to help you advertise?

Is there a rough budget?

What's the general theme of the display?

Ahh, good questions! As of now my intention is to have it parked in front of my house with decorations on it. Though a mobile display is tempting or even a mobile advertisement.

Subject to change but I think our theme this year will be The Nun taken from the recent horror movie/s The Nun

My first thought was Pirate ship. Doesn't really fit the Nun theme.

Sounds like a great high concept movie idea though.

Hi Iowa, I'm thinking a twist on a Mardi Gras styled float with a "skeleton crew" . Or maybe an old time creepy carnival ride. these rides were always on truck beds. you can set up maybe a creepy broken down bumper car scene (decorated card board boxes) skeletons driving them? just a few thoughts

It sorta makes me curious if any prohibits would be looking for assistance also? We have all heard of hey rides and such but I've never seen a ride (excluding parades) pulled by a truck. I do like the advertising idea

I grew up in Brooklyn, NY. There was always trucks passing with rides. You paid less then a dollar and you get to get on the ride
