2013 Haunt Photos

(note - these photos were taken over 2 days so the layouts maybe slightly different, but for ease i have combined them all together)



















I did have some little flying ghosts, but i couldn't get them to fly on the first night, then it rained heavily on halloween,  and when they got wet, they fell off again.!!

on halloween i think we had around 170 trick or treaters, which isn't bad considering the weather.

hoping for fine weather next year.

31st October 2011 - the Big Night....

A few photos of our halloween display 2011 style (click on them to enlarge if you want to)

The front garden

the zombie with the white head is moving to "get out of the ground"


our zombie that moves up and down out of the box


front garden at night



To the right of the front garden
our witch (mechanically stirring the coffin) and our Toxic man who is spitting out "blood"










then as you walk towards the door, you have to go into our "terror tunnel"  which is pitch black on a night

The daylight you can see is closed off and fog sprayed into the tunnel, complete with horror sounds


behind the skeleton is a favoured place to jump out at those who are nervous


hiding behind these two, just to the right is also a good spot, but people seemed too scared to come in after they had been scared


just behind the skeleton is our werewolf.  this is motion sensored to move in and out and growling.
this is very popular and everyone seems to like it, and it gets many screams!!!


finally as the brave souls who dare come in to the tunnel they get to meet these 3 and our cobweb skeleton



my friend was hiding in the tunnel waiting for people.  most thought he was scary when he jumped out on them from the dark (and sometimes chased them), but he isn't even wearing a mask so he can't be that scary........






To the left of the tunnel as you approach it is our ghost in its own home

our flying crank ghost in the daytime



and now at night (this ghost moves in a haunted way)



yes, that is me on the left, but i had to give this up as the little children (and most of the big kids / adults) were absolutely terrified of me


some people did not realise that i was real......


and finally our halloween tree!!!!



also a short, but a bit poor quality due to the night setting, but is shows the ghost quite well, and how dark it is for the others.......




269 trick or treaters braved the above, but there were many more who were too afraid to put a foot in the garden!!!!

2011 photos from party (28th oct)

Hi
The following are just a few of the photos from the party on the 28th







this video is a bit naff, but it shows the ghost quite well - i didn't realise how dark it would come out - you can't really see the other stuff moving.



hopefully i will have some better video from the "big night"
