I'm glad that lovely victorian house didn't go to waste on someone without the talent nor desire to haunt it. Very well done.

Yea..when the Irish say "whilst", it's just not the same.

Since I'm not doing a Haunt this year, this might be a good alternative!!

I have always wanted one of those victorian homes.

Beutiful decorations. Thanks for the pics.

The graveyard looks authentic. The glowing coffin is clever!

Really really cool. Great atmosphere. Got to get up to Elgin sometime!

Wow, your house is incredible! What a fun area that must be for the kiddies to trick-or-treat in. Give us some how-tos, pleeeaaassseee!

Hauntiholik

How-tos may be difficult since landrvr1 hasn't logged in since Halloween last year.

That house looks fantastic.

Elgin neighbors the town I live in - I may have to wander over there to see if they still decorate. Elgin has a big "Historic Homes" type of tour every year. There are lots of beautiful, old homes in the center of Elgin.

OHHHH, I see what happened.
Jeff bumped it up to show what he would like to do.

Do you have a pic of your house, Jeff? Maybe we could give some suggestions. Unless you were just showing what you would like to do.

Never saw this post but whos place is this and where is it?!!!!
This is my dream house!!! DREAM!!!

It's landrvr1's house in Elgin, Illinois.
Maybe someone near there might have an idea as to the address???

Lady Nyxie

Oh, you decorated special? I assumed that was how your house looked all year long.

Seriously, great job.

You need to make sure that every once in a while when the neighborhood kids are out playing that you let out some kind of blood curdling scream from inside the house, drag a heavy blue body-shaped tarp from the trunk to the back yard, etc... don't do these things too often just often enough to make the kids think that you guys are living a real life horror movie. Will totally freak them out when the following Halloween comes around.

Picture perfect....just a wonderful display!
Glad people with second story windows use them. I never understood why I often see second stories with nothing going on up there.
man...I would do that in a second if I didn't live in this one story rancher!

This may be the finest lighting job and photography I've ever seen on a home haunt. Pity this person is no longer frequenting this site because I'd love to know how he got that particular shade of green.

I REALLY need work on my lighting this year. What's the point of having a bunch of really cool props if nobody can see 'em?

Yeah, lighting is really key. With good lighting, you can get by with pretty simple props, IMHO.

Cheap colored flood lights on dimmers can go a long way.

OMG...what an amazing job!!! Thats an a amazing home! :-)

i'd love to do the figures in the windows, but my kids are 9 & 6 and might not like a frankenstein in their room... my little one is afraid of the storm trooper helmet on his shelf!
