Well, I show these to my friends on my journal, but I think you guys will appreciate em much more!
1st I'll show you the inside-
This is our Halloween tree. It's just a fake tree we have there year round but with seasonal lights in it lol. Typical pumpkins, skulls, and those pink skeletons that flicker. The white pumpkin is a gift to my GF with a ZP Zero design for her to carve and the Peanuts one is a gift I made that you can see up close in another thread on the pumpkin photos board.
This is my haunted gingerbread house. Hey man, I may be a lowly 20yr old college student but I can still have fun and make stuff like this! I like the blood... see, the house is possessed by a.... house monster... so it's bloody!
Now here's the outside-
Here be two spooky spiders and a skeleton. I usually hang him in a tree, but this year I had this idea involving the roof and lots of ducttape... so he ended up here. He's survived 3 very severe thunderstorms so I'm sure my tape work will hold. If you look carefully right under the light you'll see a black strobelight sitting there which flashes up onto the skeleton and the face of the house.
This is our ghost, stack-o-pumpkins, and our large 'showoff to the neighbors' pumpkin. You can see him and our other 'neat' pumpkin in a thread on the pumpkin photos board.
Here's our raven candelabra. We made this ourselves. We took the plastic candle looking lights and stuck em on there along with the raven in the middle.
These are bones. For some reason I love em.
We live in a 'Patio Home' so this is half of our front yard lol. We put a graveyard in it this year. Now then, in the tree you'll see a cauldron... This has a strobelight in it that flashes up into the tree shrouding the whole thing in strobey goodness. Looks great at night!
Close-up of the carcass guy in one of the graves. We accidentally bought potting soil instead of straight dirt to make the graves cuz it was cheaper... So we had a manuer smell hanging around for a while lol.
Now the night shots!
Yeah, all the bushes have orange and purple lights in em. The strobe shows up here but ya can't really get the effect, though you can get the idea. The ghost is blue... He was originally white, but I replaced the bulb last year with a blacklight... which was creepily cool... until it blew up (literally) which then I put in the blue bulb. You can see those flickering flame bulbs in the lamp there... all lamps should have those during October lol.
Here you see the raven candelabra. The house looks like it's in this pinkish/orange glow but it's just the camera really... The bones flicker and they're cool!
Last but not least a close-up of Marcuss the Carcass (so the box calls him) in all his lightup glory. He slowly pulses on and off etc.
That's it. Tell me what you think! My goal is to get Halloween decorations just as popular as Christmas decorations around here. I've already got some of the neighbors puttin up stuff so it's working!

"Dr. Nourse, this outcropping is unmetamorphosed!" "No schist."
