Halloween-L

Okay, here are some prelim shots...some not so good. But at least you can get an idea of our setup...

Do you like the orange light on our FCG from the bottom, or should we move the light away from her?





Here's the front door. Not too interesting in the picture, but the kids sure have a difficult time coming up to the door for candy when the rocker is going!







Here's a shot of the ghost in the house...


We're in the process of glueing our two busted mausoleum stones. They'll be up in the next pictures and the blue floods are not on in this picture.

Ghostie,
In the first two pics, the FCG has the black light & the orange light. Nice combination. In the later pics from further away, all I see is the orange light. Do you lose the black light effect from further away? If so, I would lose the orange, or refocus it at a different angle. I love the effect when both lights are lighting her. Granted, the wind might also effect that, but that's mother nature for you. I love the rest of it. Would love to see more pics.

Actually, it was the wind that made the orange glow on Isabelle. I have the orange floods on the tree, and because it was so windy tonight, when she'd flow back, the orange light would glow on her. We ended up moving the orange floods away from her and it worked out great. We have blue floods on everything in the graveyard and for some reason (maybe the grass?), the light looks green on the ghost. So the top is blue from the black light and the bottom of her looks green from our blue floods. Go figure. I'll try to get a good pic tomorrow night to show you. It looks so DisneyHauntedMansionesque! I love it....

Thanks for looking.

Wow Ghostie I love those pics there great!!! I can't wait to see more of them.. Your Ghost is waesome!!

Thought this was a cool picture of Isabelle. I'll try to get a lot more pictures tonight...

Weather guy says high thirties or low forties for Wed. I'm not pleased (too cold!) but mostly I'm hoping for no wind!

We've had a lot of folks stopping by to look at the haunt, so that's been a lot of fun...One lady actually asked us if we were in Theater. What a pat on the back!

Okay, I'm having a heck of a time getting good night pics this year. It's so frustrating! I've added a few pictures to our website. I'm really hoping to get better ones, but I've really tried my best with sub par results...

The weather here in SE Rochester is calling for mid 50's tomorrow with a low in the mid 30's. I hope that's the case for you, too! I think they are calling for wind (although it's always windy down here!) but I will definitely take mid 30's over last year's low temp (22 degrees by the time I came inside last year!)

But most importantly... NO RAIN!

Ghostie, I always love seeing pics of your haunts. You always give me some good ideas for next year. Great job!

Thanks, Amos. Its really fun when others appreciate your hard work!

Love the rocker idea! I bet they had a hard time passing it to get to the door! Hmmm, candy or ...

Actually, this year I was a doctor and sat on the front porch (in the rising fog), digging candy out of my surgical steel bowl with a hemostat...in my other hand I held a huge dripping syringe that was glowing blue from the flood light. I'd ask the kids in an insane sort of way, if they'd like a shot or a treat...some of the smart asses got a shot of warm water in the chest (too cold to get them in the face!)...but most kids were pretty good and opted for the candy! I can still hear one kid,"I didn't think you were really going to do it!"

When they asked about the rocking rocker, I just told them it was a previous patient of mine who didn't fare so well. It was a lot of fun this year. The first year we've been out interacting with the kids. Can't wait for next year.
