Costumes
Ila was Bat Girl, Isaac was Spider Man, and Turtle was a doctor!
Lights Out!
We put orange LED lights along the roof line, orange lights on the bushes infront of the house, and pumkin walkway lights up to the front door. The street lights are on the corner, so our yard gets pretty dark.
Bone Yard
Here is the bone yard. We made most of these tombstones along with the coffin. The coffin opened and closed by a motor I rigged in the bottom of the coffin. I placed a skeleton inside along with a black light. It was awesome!
Wendy the Witch
We built this witch out of a 4x4 post and a pool noodle. It looked great, but the wind took off her head three times. I'm not sure if this one will make to next year. It did have a motor in the caldron that moved the handle around and around. It was pretty cool with the lights and fog machine in the caldron.
Aimee made the tombstone with the misting skull on top. We used sheets of the 1 inch foam from Lowes. It looked great once it was painted gray. We cut out the word BEWARE and placed orange LED lights inside for an eerie glow.
Giant Spider
We put our inflatable spider up in this tree. Fuzzy pic, sorry. This looked great, you could see it from down the street.
Spider's Web
The pic is a little fuzzy, but this is a web we made to hang between out neighbor's trees. We added a few giant spiders and a severed hand in the middle. I made a light box and placed it under the web so you wouldn't walk into it.
Here is our clearance steal from last year. K-Mart had this thing 90% off, and we picked it up for a around $15. Ila's school asked us if they could use it for their school Spook Alley, of course we set it up for them. He sits about 8' tall.
New Addition this year! This little witch stands about 50" tall and waved her left arm up and down. Nice little addition to the walkway.
Creepy Creeper
We hung this guy from the trees, his creepy cloth hung down about 8 feet. We stuck a flood light on him and lit him up. The only problem with this guy was the wind. Every time the wind blew his cloth would bet stuck in the tree. Pretty cool though.
Mr. Bone Jangles
Notice the hands in the hip! Just another glow in the dark skeleton.
