My graveyard this year....

[zombiehorror]

Still have to put alot of stuff out come Halloween, or maybe day before but here is what my graveyard looks like as of this morning:



This year I added a lighted path thru the graveyard but there is also a sidewalk for smaller children and scaredy
cats so the can skip the graveyard stroll-

Entrance-this will eventually have columns set up on both sides:


Halfway home to candy land:


Only a few more headstones to pass before you recieve your reward:


Here's a new addition this year.  Had this thing for years and just used to hang it over the porch light but this year I decided to actually use it as the porch light. Also did a complete repaint on it and added real chain in place of the original plastic.

I like the boarded up windows

Likewise the windows add a creepy effect.

NICE!  Unfortunately, seeing as how we don't have a yard anymore (being in an apartment), I'm gonna have to live through everybody else's cool Halloween stuff!

[Toy Ranch]

Nice Job!

UP, we decorated around our apartment one year when we were living in a complex.  Just some webs and plastic spiders and such.  Then moved some other stuff out when we were there to watch it.  Don't know if your complex allows that sort of thing.  Ours had a contest, and we won.  I think they gave us $50 off rent or something.

Actually, I painted a 6' 7" Frankenstein on banner paper last year and hung it on our back patio window.  I probably will do something creepy (yet kid-friendly) this year even if just for one night.  Maybe I can start a trend here!

There ya go, get your monster on!

I dont celebrate Halloween anymore, at least not on the outside of the house.
In my room it is Halloween all the time.
We dont get trick or treaters, never have for 32 years, no-one trick or treats out here in the country, they all take their kids to town instead.

Thanks for the compliments all.

Here's an updated pic from this morning after setting up my columns/fence;

Still gotta add the gargoyles & skull sconces to the entrance columns and all the other columns will have lighted skulls atop them tomorrow night.

I'll also be out all the ghouls/creeps throughout the day tomorrow!!

After looking at the pic, I'm thinking next year I gotta do something about that mailbox.....

Nice job, did you make the columns?

[The Creeper]

That is awesome!

[BaronLatos35]

WOW! You killed it with the columns and fence. Looks great.

[zombiehorror]

Nice job, did you make the columns?

Thanks, yep I made them 4/5 years ago but updated their look this year.

Here's what they look like all apart;



The sides are just 1/4" foam insulation (locks together by tongue n' groove with the tops/bases), my cheap construction is what keeps me from putting these up earlier in the month but they're easier to store than the permanent ones that people glue together.

[sixshooter]

Nice work, they look really good.

I didn't get to here all the compliments because my wife stayed home to pass out candy while I took our girls Trick or Treating but she said everyone was really impressed with the new additions and set up this year.

Final shots from the big night;



And as always Bela & Boris can always be found lurking somewhere in my graveyard....


Hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween!!
