2006 Halloween Summary

Well Gemmy came out with an awesome archway that I had to add to my collection. The grim ripper archway scared most of the kids and they were afraid to come in the yard. We had our pine tree cut down in the front yard so it made a great open grave.

The witch was also a new addition. I will need to reinforce the witch for next year because the 1 1/2 PVC pipe is not strong enough to hold the weight of the flying witch.

2005 Halloween Summary

Everybody loved the grim ripper. I add a fan under his mask so he could turn his head back and forth. The gate keeper holding the latern was also loved by all trick or treaters.

I was disappointed with the ground breaker that I bought from Spencers Gift that pulls his head off (last photo on this page). The only way to get him to pull his head off is to clap your hands really loud behind the ground breakers body. I will need to find a better way to set off this ground breaker next year.

2004 Halloween Summary

2004 was the first time I totally went all out for Halloween and boy did I spend a lot of money. The kids loved the talking boris head that I had on my grim reaper. I had it telling ghost stories that I bought on a CD from Walmart. The kids also loved all of the ground breakers I made out of PVC pipes.
