I usually go all out for Halloween, but this year I was too busy. Usually some friends and I build all kinds of decorations. We have a complete graveyard, hanging bodies, and an air-powered coffin jumper. Here's a gibbet I made for last year's Halloween.

This year was pretty tame, must be because it fell on a Monday.
I too recieved far too few vict...visitors. The seance was a complete and utter flop, not to mention a disappointment for all the guests. I even had punch!
drone, I bow to your Halloween greatness. :bow: That is stuff I can only dream about.Quote:

We had the pressure mat rigged to raise the body, and also trigger a strobe light and recorded scream. Fortunately I only had to build the coffin and body frame, the electrical work was the responsibililty of my friends.Quote:

Very nice! The themes are very similiar to the old Calvin and Hobbes snowmen scenes.:bow:Quote:

A couple ideas that I'm toying with for next year:
1) Using some white pumpkins for 'drained' victims of a pumpkin vampire.
2) Sawmill/Magic Act horror scene with a pumpkin sawed in half on a split table with its innards spilling out. Dunno what else around it.
3) Multiple pumpkins consuming each other like Russian nesting dolls. Massive pumpkin with a huge mouth, inside which can be seen another pumpkin with a large open mouth, inside which... etc.
