This site has been long-overdue for a revamp, so this is the year it’s finally getting one. Keep an eye on this space in the coming days, as I’ll be ramping up to Halloween with updates of the progress of this year’s display and other goodies.
Continuing with the idea of themed displays, 2010 was dubbed the Witch’s Kitchen. It was also the most pumpkins I’ve ever had, rounding out at an even dozen. Incidentally… I dyed my hair black for this costume, with dye that was supposed to wash out in 21 days. It’s almost a year later and it still hasn’t completely faded out. (more…)
This year was the first time one of my displays had a theme. Since so many people I knew were getting married, I decided that 2009 would be the Wedding of the Dead. (more…)
2008 was the year of the pumpkins. I hand-carved eight of them over the course of two days on my own, which is more than I’d ever done. (more…)
In 2006, I introduced the corpse bride and groom to my display. It was also the last Halloween at my parents’ house, as I moved out before the next Halloween. (more…)
In 2005, I did a nifty display that included a 6 foot tall family crypt made out of styrofoam. Sadly, the crypt had to be dismantled after Halloween since I had nowhere to store it, but it looked awesome. One of these days, I’ll make another one. (more…)
This was the first year of the guillotine… which quickly became one of my all-time favorite decorations, and hopefully will be around for many years to come. (more…)
