Default It took a year but here's my first Halloween display

It's been a busy year since I decided to put up a Halloween display. I went from a spider web and a couple of store bought hanging items to a full display this year. We had a party for family and kids on Friday, a adults only party of 35 on Saturday and then of course it was time to set it all out again for Halloween. We had over 250 TOT's without any advertising. Word must have gotten out from those that watched the display go up over a 10 day period.
I learned so much in constructing the display and over 15 animated props.
I already made plans on how to improve things for next year.
Here are a few pictures of the display. The video is still being edited and will include the rest of the animated props that were on display inside and in the back yard for the parties.
The video is now complete.


Constructive criticism is always welcome.

That looks great halstaff. What a wonderful beginning to many years of haunting. Every year is a learning experience for me and I have been doing this for about 15 yrs. I think it is like being an artist. You never reach your max potential because there is always something new to learn. Thanks for sharing the pics.
