Welcome to our Haunt
Halloween is a big deal at our house. BIG. Matt puts a lot of time and effort into making our house a spooky haunt every year, and each year he adds a 'little something' to the display. Nothing gory, just spooky. Two years ago he made columns to put at the foot of our driveway. Last year he added a fence. He makes the tombstones by hand, out of foam insulation - they are amazing. These pictures are from last year, taken by my father who spent the weekend with us. Enjoy! I'll post photos of this year's addition and our costumes early next week! Happy Halloween everyone :)
Our house, from across the street. Fence and columns are fake.
The columns are made from plywood
The view from our driveway
Front yard, from the sidewalk
A scarecrow based on Sleepy Hollow the movie
The cemetery in our front yard
Bucky sitting behind a fresh grave
Our knock-off Frontgate ghosts :) I love these!
The bleeding tombstone
Fake fence - it's pvc pipe and wood stuck onto rebar
The family plus my Dad, Halloween 2008
Sarah, because she was just so darn cute!

That is pretty cool - you would fit right in on my street. We have at least 4 houses that totally go out. My kids love it and always ask why we don't do anything spooky. Yours is pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteOMG I love all the decorations! Never would I have guessed that those columns and the fence were fake...wow.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap!!! You guys rock! That "fake" fence looks better than a lot of real fences! :)
ReplyDeleteOK I Love the columns and the fence. I think I would leave those up all year.
