Halloween 2005

This is our graveyard 2005.  The crypt in the back was built this year and you can see in the very foreground the fencing I built. (See   http://www.halloweenmonsterlist.info/ for how to instructions) I had a very good stage style strobe going of and I would stand in the crypt and come running across the graves to the fence screaming for brains, as people would walk by after getting candy at our front door!

Here is a clearer pic of the 6’ coffins we built.  The ghoul there is my mummy on a good day.  We actually used the fake head to make it look like no one was in it and then as you walked by…!!!

Boris here is my biggest purchase for 2005.   His eyes and head move L/R and he says several different things and moans. (motion activated) ($99.00 Wal Mart)  Very real looking...caught many by surprise.

This is hard to see but this is a shot of the redone garage. (Door up) There were three scenes going on here.  I built two 5’x7’ walls with sides going in to the garage.  I covered the top and backs with black plastic.  In the first was a 7” battery operated eyeball that was noise activated.  It would light up, moan and move left to right.  (Bought on the net)  In the center I had a mix of orange, purple, green and white webs with black lights and my four random flash can lights, and finally on the left I had a pneumatic air cannon with a skull on it that was controlled all the way in the front by the people in the coffins. This was all at the end of the 10’x20’ haunted car port tent.  Though we do not have a picture of it, as you came out of the car port there was a dancing skeleton that was suspended from about a 14’ high tree branch being run by an electric motor with a sequence of reduction gears.
