Halloween has always been a favorite holiday for me, each year I do-up the house with props n' stuff, but about 4 years ago things got a bit out of hand when we decided to regularly host an annual Halloween party....something we have become known for.
Our home is a 2-story colonial so it's perfect for it. Actually, Kraken's call it a Neo-Classical Southern Colonial Revival.
Beside our big yard, our biggest claim to party-fame is the Hummer Halloween Hayride of Horror...I attach a 6x10 trailer to the back of my H2 and run a hay-ride across the street to another property...it goes down a long driveway and into a backyard where we have a small garage....along the way there are all sorts of effects, we put black-lights on the trailer and there's a graveyard where people pop-up from graves, ghost float from the air, skulls pop up from behind tombstones, and a large framework is covered in glowing spider web and a large spider comes down, goes up and then about 125 small glow-in-the-dark spiders are dropped from the "womb". In the backyard we have a maze leading into the garage where we do some kind of 10-minute show.
I could write several many paragraphs offering details...but instead I'll just post some pics. At this point we just have the house all decorated for Halloween. Out in front of the house, hanging from a tree about 20-feet in the air, is a hanging illuminated skeleton, the gate is covered in lights, the brick pillars all have things on top of them. A hanging skeleton is above our front door...and all that good stuff.
I'm afraid you'll have to click on the thumbnails to expand the pics....I don't know much about "photobucket" or whatnot....
