2013 Halloween Decorating, Day 4

My niece and nephew helped me hang up my severed heads for the Chop Shop.  This is one of my favorite things in the yard.

 

2013 Halloween Decorating, Day 3

I put out my coffin, crypt, and above ground grave today.  I also drilled holes into the above ground gave to add red lights into the gargoyle head.

 

2013 Halloween Decorating, Day 2

I put out the rest of my dummies.



 

2014 Halloween Decorating, Day 1

 

It took an hour to put out my gravestones this year.  I think that is the fastest I've ever put them all out.



 



I spent about  1 1/2 putting out half of my dummies.  I ran out of daylight and had to stop decorating. 

2013 Halloween Decorating, Day 4

I repaired my headless horseman.  I hope he says standing up this year.

I started working on a few projects that I hope I have finished before Halloween.  I'm working on a new JESTER dummy, but I only finished the frame and lower half today.

I also decided to modify my above ground grave that I made a few years ago.

BEFORE:

Under Construction:
I added a head to the front that I'm planning on shoot fog out of.  The budgie cords are  holding the head in place while it dries.  I also took the bottom off  and I shorten the top, so it will no longer be an extra 5 inches on both sides.  I just didn't like the way it turned out when I first made it. 

2013 Halloween Decorating, Day 3

Today, I put out my coffin and chop shop.

2013 Halloween Decorating, Day 2

I finished adding the blue flood lights and the miniature lights on the fence, sidewalk, and house.  Now I only have left a few more steps until everything is complete, but it will have to wait until next weekend.

Stage 3: Lights

2013 Halloween Decorating, Day 1

This year doesn't even feel like Halloween because I've been working so much overtime.  I don't feel light putting out the Halloween decorations this year, but my nieces/nephews are begging me to put them out, so I can't let them down.  I was able to set up about 75% of my yard today before I ran out of day light. 

 

Stage 1: Gravestones

 

Stage 2: Monsters

 

 

 

Halloween Decorating, Day 7

The tricycle finished drying, so I was able to put the Saw character and tricycle in the yard today.

I finished building my above group grave, but I don't like the way it turned out.  I will need to fix this for next year.

 

Halloween Decorating, Day 6

I ran across this in Spirit of Halloween, so I thought I would decide to build something like this for my graveyard. I started working on building this today, but I only finished the top and bottom so far. I will need to finish this up next weekend. I'm hoping to hide my fogger, Gemmy music light show box, and maybe one of my ground breakers inside of this. I'm sure mine will look slightly different than this:

Halloween Decorating, Day 5

I decided today to paint the tricycle that Jigsaw sits on. It is now offically red, just like the Saw movies. The only problem is it is taking forever to dry. Hopefully it will dry up in a few days so I can put it in the yard soon.

Halloween Decorating, Day 4

Today, I hung up the lights on the house and the other half of the fence. I still have a few more projects to work on before I will be complete with all of my decorations. Hopefully I will be decorating by October 30th.

Halloween Decorating, Day 3

Today I added the lights down the sidewalk and added lights and caution tape to half of the fence. I also set out the rubber cat and rats and added the Skelton parts to the graveyard. I started to put up the house lights, but I figured I better not climb the ladder in the dark, so I will need to hang them on the house tomorrow. Now I have to find lights for the other half of the fence.

Halloween Decorating, Day 2

My second day of setting up my Halloween Decorations is complete. I set up all of my dummies and ground breakers today.

Halloween Decorating, Day 1

My first day of setting up my Halloween Decorations is complete. I was able to set up all of my tombstones and mausoleum today. Boy I’m tired, so I will wait until tomorrow to put out more decorations out. I don’t want to do too much at once or I will hurt my back and I have enough back pain without making it worse.
