Yeah, I have the fake spiderweb stuff and some fake spiders. (If Halloween were a month early, I wouldn't need to fake either of those ) And another idea I want to try is to get a string of red lights and put them under the porch grouped in pairs so they look like the glowing eyes of a hoard of rats.
So in short, I'm not finished. After putting the jack o'lanterns in the windows, though, I just had to take a photo.
I've been a tiny bit disappointed that my house is right on PA 116 through town. It's very busy and quite a few trucks come through at night, but it's not too bad. The plus is at just about any moment I can look out my front window and see a car at the light with someone inside looking at my house and grinning or some kid in the backseat pointing and banging dad on the shoulder so he'll look.

LOL - I'm not sure I want it to be THAT scary. I still want to give out candy this Halloween.
Incidentally, Hanover apparently really gets into Halloween. They have a parade on Thursday before Halloween this year and it lasts nearly 3 hours. That's pretty good for a town that only rates one of the tiny dots on the state map.

Hey zgator, Thanks for the link for the eyes. I was just going to buy red lights, but apparently they are very scarce. In fact, at WalMart I couldn't find any simple strings of lights for Halloween. They all had junk attached. So I bought a string of normal white lights and I'm going to try the method you linked. I'll put photos up when I get it done.
Also, I'm going to try the fog chiller from the other link. I've always had the problem of my fog machine's fog just dispersing up into the room mostly cutting visibility rather than adding creepiness. I never thought of chilling the fog. (Smacks head).

I love Halloween. I'd love to make my place as haunted as possible.
Shall we make this a friendly contest? I want to see what other hatrackers' haunted homes look like for this holiday. Lets see if we can outdo each other and have fun at it Posts: 1261 | Registered: Apr 2004

That sounds like fun, but how about more of a Virtual Tour than a contest. Anyone else got photos of their Halloween decorations?? Link them here!

So. . . what? No one else decorates? No one else has photos? (And don't say it's too early, the stores are already filling up with Christmas stuff, forheavenssake.)

My old house had a large front yard, but we were on a dead end street with few trick-or-treaters. We're now on a very long street with lots of kids, but not much front yard.
I gave away my wood coffin and my cage that hangs from a tree with a skeleton inside. They went to a good home, though.
I plan on, at least, making a cemetary fence this year.

I just bid on tombstone molds on eBay. Just add ready mix concrete and you've got your own concrete tombstones. This will be much better than the plywood ones I've been using.

Great pumpkin, dabbler. We have 5 pumpkins we bought from a local farmer, but we're not going to carve them until the weekend before Halloween. Last year we carved them earlier and they were a little . . . ripe by the time the trick-or-treaters arrived.
