Thats cool Mortician..
Do you make things for the displays for them?
Do you make things for the displays for them?
Instead of home haunting, I now help haunt the old city park for an awesome cause; the kids.Back in the good ol' days it was me, Dad, a thermos of dad's "coffee", and my bag of candy. Trick-O-Treating was our opportunity to see all of our neighbors and friends. As I walked the tot, Dad stood at the gate with other fathers drinking "coffee" and telling us to " go.. go.. ".
Sadly, the days when your neighbors were your friends are starting to fade. How many of us can say we know our neighbors names? Mom and Dad both work and commute. When the long day is done, and the family is finally together, nobody has time or the energy to be a truly good neighbor. 'Trick-O-Treating' has turned from a 'walk around the neighborhood visiting friends', to 'getting candy before bedtime'.
It's our time to step in. We haunters give our passion and love to the forgotten art of being a good neighbor. Come to our house Halloween night. Meet your neighbors. Make new friends. Send your kids to the door for candy, and hang out with the adults sipping my "coffee". Take your time, because in that brief moment of magic you are the hero and the protector to your lil'un. As they timidly walk up to the spooky house and look back for your reassurance, you truly get to say, "it's okay, your safe.. go.. go..".

I am open to any ideas you might have. At this point, I am more or less starting from square one.What are you planning on doing to raise the bar this year?
If you make your own props, you could use an osilating fan it will move things in a variety of ways depending on how it is mounted. I have used 2 so far this year with more to come, I have 1 turning the ships wheel and 1 turning the skelly in the crows nest.Well me personally i would love to learn how to make something animated. Maybe just turn its head or nod or something. I am just doing my first outside display with the hopes of doing a walk through soon in the future. Id like to have some great scares. So ill keep coming on here and trying to steal ideas off you people![]()
Just for the record, this quote is from the skullandbone.com homepage; a very professional home hauntMortician, every time my wife asks me why I love Halloween so much, I never know what to say. I have copied and printed your quote and will let her read it. It sums up exactly how I feel about the whole thing.
I have thought about building a FCG every year but never get around to doing soA flying crank ghost is a great and affordable effect
