As many of you know, I'm a Halloween freak. Certified. We got married very near Halloween, I decorate more for Halloween than for Christmas. I've invested much time and money over the past few years that we've had our own place - in props and decorations and such.

This year we're doing it a step or two better than last year. You can view the video from last year here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZC2AbDaa6g

So on to the images and progress so far...

Basically we'll reuse everything there from the fog chiller to the music and lightning strobe, but will add "walls" of cardboard so that you have to walk THROUGH something. I'll also be adding a "butcher" type scene with body parts, jars of gross preserved things, eyeballs, blood, chains and meat hooks... Hanging streamers will block views to/from the outside for a large portion of the balcony.

Anyway, here's the intended layout. Stuff to the left (fogger, lightning strobe, etc) are indoors. I'll be painting another graveyard fence/scene on the windows this year, too.

This is the balcony:


This is the plan:



And the progress:

 

Simply awesome. I really should try to come by. Will it only be operational on Halloween night? Or will you have it up for a few days?

And oh yea, Dogfish Head ftw...

 

Win mah friend.

 

Thanks guys. You got that big-ass garage Brian, you could do something similar.

And yeah it'll only be up for one night. Thankfully (I think?) Halloween is a Friday night this year so I hope to have many more kids AND adults through.

Ok, pics from last night! I'm working on the video still...

 

OMG. AWESOME.

Sorry! I left the phone in the car and totally missed your message until the end of the night, when I found my phone again
