An early set-up. We would re-arrange everything and add more props before Halloween.
Detail of the new gate. The skulls on the gate posts would later be painted gloss black.
Detail of the top of the gate. We loved the sign, but the wind kept tearing it up.
Days later, the skulls have been painted black.
Detail of the skull gate posts.
Our grim reaper in his traditional spot in the dark corner with a red strobe light on him.
The "fog spitting jack-o-lantern" returns!
Our new skull tiki torch.
There air was very calm so the fog chiller worked great. Waves of fog went out of the cemetery, across the yard and even into the street!
Our new "head on a post" prop that we made. Do you think we gave it too much blood? :)
Our favorite "natural light" picture.
The porch continues to get even more crowded.
The gothic lanterns in action.
Our new 5-foot wide bat. He can't be seen from the sidewalk until you get on the porch.
With the bat tucked against on the wall, "frank" distracted the kids making the bat all more surprising.
Good old Mister Bones. Several parents took pictures of their kids sitting next to him.
Some very nervous trick-or-treaters. Note the vampire face looking down on them.
Close up of the vampire face we put right next to the door.
View of the left side of the yard from the street.
View of the right side of the yard from the street.
Obligatory picture of our oldest boy. (Our youngest was too tired from all that trick-or-treating and went to bed early.)
