I used the purple christmas style lights pegged to the ground. They didn't give off too much light, didn't get stepped on if placed carefully (or maybe just lucky...), and lit the path quite well. I got them for $1 a box (about 15 feet or so) at a dollar store in Canada.

Hey Mr.C, I hate to say it, but I've found that the only effective method of directing people through a cemetery or haunt, is by using cemetery fence in the cemetery, and leaving a strictly one way path thru the haunt itself. No matter how obvious you make the pathways with lighting, some boob always steps over to get a closer look, and/or touch.

well, I won't mind if they venture off to look. My new plan will just give them a guide and some cohesion. Before it was one entrance which doubled as the exit, and the path to take was not obvious. Therefore a lot of people just piling into a dead end and wandering around.

Now there will be an entry gate and an exit gate, and a wood chip path linking them, and the "main" graveyard will be off to one side between the fence and the path.

Here's last year's plan...

as you see from the link above I've rearranged my Halloween site and am beginning the updates for this year... half the fun I had last year was putting the pics and info up!

They make a flourescent paint that you could simply spray on the grass, maybe with an arrow, that could show the way. Add some black lights along the way and that would work. The grass won't be harmed and you can cut it within the week, depending on your climate.
