Trading tips for dark displays and prop production.

As many of you will frequent various halloween sites, I was wondering when would be best to set a projector display up & running, on the night (saturday this year) ..or do you have animations running for several nights with your displayalready up in order to make people notice & hopefully visit?

For me it's mainly a "one night only" show. And if I get a projector for Hallowindow, that will mostly likely be used just on the big night, mainly. But getting people to visit on Halloween night isn't tough for me, they all know to come see what the Patch Master is up to.

id say run it a few days before just during prime hours for a little bit may be. i know we have a hard time getting people a because hardly anyone decorates b hardly anyone notices because we are on a circle. this year a few days before i want to make signs that say to visit us if i can. i wanna be on the news someday like many of u for my displays :). plus being on the news would def make people wanna stop lol

I agree with Cgirl,
I wouldnt display pumpkins or animated props but I'll be putting up a sign saying 'happy halloween' or something. That way people will know that we are receiving trick or treaters and hopefully it might even convince some kids to trick or treat where they wouldnt have bothered.

Unless it's pouring we'll generally be inundated from before dusk!

I think that I will play my favorite cartoon on october 30th, the legend of sleepy hollow. then I will play the Hallowindow on the 31st. I need to show off some goodies for people to come by.
