Since it's halfway to Halloween (or it was when I photographed the display), I set up a mini-haunt in my backyard. With no props at all and no electric lighting. I tried to keep it very organic and traditional, but still spooky.
Photos are on my blog, click below.

Hope you like it!

Btw, credit totally goes to Pumpkinrot for the witch jars and the inspiration for this whole thing.

Nice photos, Marrow. They're very moody

Nice work,you definately do not have to have expensive props and alot of money into a display to make it creepy.A dark ol scary shack back in the woods with nothing more than an evil faced glowing jack o lantern is enough.

Very nice, Marrow - this is a great reminder that setting the scene is oh so very important!

Ain't you clever. That is awesome. Now all you have to do is fill it up come October. Probably most folks would start with props and try to build the mood around it, but I think you are onto a smarter idea.

Beyond the No Props and the atmosphere you definitely have an eye for photography and video editing. I really love your photos and enjoyed watchin your video. Very well done...

Thanks so much everyone! This is not part of my haunt this year, just an experiment in prop-less haunting.

It's nice and creepy. Folks will scare themselves in a place like that.

Your pictures are just haunting...no pun intended. Lovely work!

Beautifully done!

Bravo!!!! Proof positive that creepy and spooky do not need gore. Your atmosphere would have the tots terrified by their own imagination. Excellent photos by the way.

100% true!!!

I am honored, madam, to have such a proficient haunter agree with me.:jol:

I love the idea of a haunt lit entirely by candles and flames.

I like this. A lot. Very spooky and eerie yet simple. It looks fantastic!

In fact, if you wouldn't mind, I'd love to use this photo as one of my Halloween desktop backgrounds when I need to get in the mood

Thanks for all the compliments! I plan to do another Halfway to Halloween thing next year, and possibly every year.

Wandererrob : Sure! No need to ask permission, any photos on my blog are free for you to download and use as wallpapers.
