This was one of the best halloweens we have ever had weather wise in Iowa. It was about 70 degrees with just a light breeze. Earlier in the week though we had a wind storm with about 60mph gusts, it did some damage to my cemetary gates, but that is all. I had them fixed by halloween night :D .

These are some pictures of our cemetary

The witch above is one of the best props i have ever bought. She stirs a bubbling couldron and says 5 different phrases, and her mouth moves with the words, and eyes light up as she talks. The best part was something I did not know about when i bought her. She comes with a wireless microphone that someone can talk into from a long ways off, and their voice comes through her. My sister had a ball talking to the kids with a witch voice from inside the house. She could see them from the front window, and would make comments on their costumes ect. They loved it, and some came back 2 or 3 times to show someone else. here is a video I made of her before halloween, the ones I shot on Halloween night did not turn out :(

Sorry about rambling on, I have had no time to chat on forum because of crazy work schedule. Like I said it was a great Halloween. hope you all had a most spooktacular night.

Thanks, Thunderclap

Your yard looks great Thunderclap! That ghost behind the tombstone is awesome, it has a great face. Your pumpkin choices are good too, wish I would have seen those voodoo themed patterns before Halloween cause they are too cool. You Mom's center piece is very nicely done. :D
