So I've got these plans...big plans for Halloween this year. I've been given the 'go ahead' to start construction after the 4th of July...and wouldn't you know it, the 5th is a Saturday! How great is that? So in addition to bigger prop building this year, I've found some cool smaller decoration ideas a well. I'm planning two different sets of "demonic eyes" to hide in the bushes and trees (using tin cans and film canisters and xmas lights). I'm also planning to convert an old bird-bath into a skull fountain. I also want to build a small (model type) guillotine, one that will be stationary and can fit on the porch. My most ambitious project will probably be burning a witch at the stake (fan-box fake flames of course....I think the city might have a word to two for me if I were to try to burn a dummy on the front lawn). I plan to have her surrounded by these cute ghost thingies...My second most ambitious prop is the headless horseman...I'm not sure how to go about building that one yet, I've got some schematics drawn up that may work in theory, but I've got 3 months to figure out how to make it work.
Some of my ideas I found on this awesome website check it out:
