finn, i love your midway plans. not having live actors isn't all bad. my 1st 3 years that's how i started out, and after 13 years, last year and this year i'm back to it. i like either way.
sick, could you move into my town, i'm always needing help. and that prop you got is awsome and well worth the money even if it had been static.
nic, that is rich, you just need a fake bloody knife by it. lol

Nicacnikki, that curtain sure makes a powerful statement alright!:eek: I think you and your boyfriend should decide on what makes the both of you happy, and if that's leaving it up, well then I'm sure your guests will adjust in time or use the washroom before and after they come over for a visit:)

You know I'm really beginning to like haunted circus themes the more I read what people have done.

The mummy looks terrific. The webbing was especially a nice touch.

Nicnacnikki your playful pics made me LOL. I bet you guys are fun at a party.

OK. I've been bitten by the carnival bug because of you guys. I have the Walmart baseball vendor on order and will convert him to a carnival guy for next year. Today I picked up a clearance Talking Clown Head from Spirit Halloween for $9.99. When in I went to Lowe's they had these free DIY step-by-step project brochures (from Skil and Lowes) that showed you how to build a ring toss and a bag toss game (won't be hard to do and perfect for the carnival theme) so I felt like everything was falling into place. I remember I also had found a place online a few months ago that sells the mirror-like material for the fun house mirrors that carnivals usually have--the ones that make you look tall and skinny or fat and short. I'll have to look for the link to it.

Interestingly when I went into Spirit today I was looking for the Horror Radio (Scary-time Radio) and walked right past it--it was so small as someone else here mentioned. Decided to pass on it due to the size and will make one for a project next year--my Zombie farmer and wife will just have to wait for a radio for their porch or kitchen.

As mentioned my Spirit store did have the Talking Clown Heads and only one of the Talking Vampire Heads, at clearance price of $9.99, so picked up one of each. Now I'll have a vampire for my bat scenes. I was kind of kicking myself for not getting both of them when I had the chance before and was really surprised to see them in the store and still on clearance. I'll add bodies to both of them for next year. I used my 20% off coupon towards a Spirit of Fire prop (didn't see on the website or would link to it)--it's a large hollow skull with fake flames inside. Looked pretty nice and it will go with my skull theme props--maybe a Skull Island is in the picture for a future haunt.

I did see other props I hadn't noticed on my last trip to Spirit that I liked but I'm pretty well set. In fact I feel bloated on halloween right now. Anyone else feeling that way? Really need to find storage for all of the new stuff this year. I may look for wigs and accessories in after-halloween shopping, but really my halloween is bursting at the seams. It's taken a couple of years to get to this point but I'm there.

Sooo true! I ALWAYS say - "That's IT!" after Halloween - because I realize there just isn't enough space to store everything! :p
But then - we go to the after-31 sales and go wild! Now, just unpacking our stuff is giving me the bloats! I think we should set up a gruesome "Haunted Yard Sale" theme for next year - and sell some of the stuff off to the neighbors! 2 Problems solved - what theme to go with in 2010 -and making room for new stuff!! BOO! :D
