A pirates life is not for me.

Although the thought of mixing pop culture into the haunt is an idea with sparkiling zombie pirates dancing Gangnum style on the deck of the ship might get me more ToTs

I love a pirate theme and vow to do one before I quit haunting, but for next year, I have to resurrect the witches that were put back due to the weather. Pirates might be one of my rotating themes starting after that though. so many neat things to do with them.

I just did my "Shipwreck Cove" (no room for a ship) this year and plan to use it every four years. Everyone loved it. My 2-year-old grandson had a ton of fun being a pirate too!

LOL at Scatter! Zombie pirates dancing Gangnam Style - I'd love to see that!

Sorry. No pirates for me, either. My hubby would make me part of the display if I tried to change up themes!

Anyway, after serving 8 years in the Navy, my ship would have to be haze gray!

 

[Figtreejohn]

Pirates is all I do. I can't afford a theme change!

 

[oaklawn Crematory]

Oh I'm all in! I wanna pirate some awesome Halloween sound effects!

 

[The Auditor]

Nay, no pirate theme for me, though I be sorely tempted to try pirate reenacting...but alas, time is not my friend and that's an idea that shall have to remain a mere idea for lo these many years.

That said...I could probably work something piratical into my "shadows" theme for 2013

I was planning to ditch the pirate theme this year, but just couldnt do it. I have so many pirate props and costumes, it make it a little difficult to alter course. Maybe I'll just expand on it next year.

 

[The Halloween Lady]

Crap toooo many ideas, too few years left!

 

[Mistress of the Abyss]

I personaly don't do a pirate theme but I sure love seeing what you guys come up with....which is usually AWESOME!!

 

[One eyed Mick]

Aye Lassy,

Tis' a Pirate's life for me...........!

 

[matrixmom]

Ok my one son is mad because I promised Nuclear fallout apocalypse next year....so maybe I can combine instead of Pirates of the Carribean maybe Pirates of Chernobyl?

 

[Paint It Black]

Sure, Matrixmom, that is the beauty of Halloween. You can do whatever you want!

 

[hallorenescene]

i did a pirate theme back when pirates of the carribean came out. it was a big hit. plan on doing one again someday. but next year shadows
paint it black, that is one fine looking lad

I've been working with the same theme for 38 years (Graveyard, haunted house) and still don't think I have it right. When I do Maybe pirates.

 

[halloween71]

i did pirates in 2011.I have no idea what 2013 theme will be.I do want to do pirates again.

 

[The-Dullahan]

Aside from Halloween being Irish and a good handfull of Pirates originating from there as well, I really can;t find a noteworthy reason to do a Pirate them (Let's be honest, I seldom if ever have a "theme" in a general sense of the word, but make it all work last minute, since I decorate the day-of)

Honestly, I could probably pull it off, considering the locality that I live in.

However, it is always nice to see. This year, I went through Celebration, FL (A city of Multi-Millionaires) to see the houses and the synchronized music/light displays that often encompass multiple homes. It was pleasant to get compliments from the locals that my car was "a better display" than the houses I was listening to/watching. Anyhow, there is this fellow who does an entire visage over his mammoth house and decorates all-out with skeleton Pirates everywhere. While impressive, it is so only in girth, as with the obvious time and money involved, I feel we from the Forum could do much better. Maybe I can dig up some photos. I didn't take any, but may just know someone who does.

I love the idea of doing a Pirate Theme. But I dont see doing it at my house for a little while yet.

I am however helping my friend with his pirate theme next year. He wants three different scenes: a cannon fight, a sing along, and a Tortuga scene.
He started this year with the ship battle scene, but he had to pull it down for the hurricaine.

Me at my house, I am sticking to the cemetary, but I am adding a walk through mausoleum.

 

[thxboy]

Ive only done pirates up to now and my goal is:
Whe i finally finish building the boat canal and my pirates eat the tourists, i will rest easy.....

Now back to building more pirate props!
