Every year I have done a basic graveyard theme. This year I am doing it again with a twist. I picked up a few 55 gallon drums to give my graveyard the Toxic twist. 2 of the drums are going to be cut various ways (making 4 partial drums) that will look as if they are coming out of the ground. The other barrel is going to contain glowing, bubbling water.

I will set everything up Halloween day and take it down that night. Not the best neighborhood to leave stuff just outside for days at a time.

If anyone is interested I can include pics once I get it all set up. And I can elaborate more on the set if anyone is curious. Just let me know

Sure, would love to see pics. Sounds spooky!

This is how I scared the kids a couple years ago. The picture is really lit up due to camera flash, but it was nice an dark with a strobe and my right hand is on the control of a fog machine that blew out and crossed in front of me.
Yes that is me........

that's really clever! I bet you scared the boogers out of people! One question though, did you have a problem with people stepping on you?

No problem.

When we dug the hole we created a lip around the edge of the hole. We then laid a piece of plywood in there. It set flush with the ground and then we covered it with leaves, grass clipping and moss. So if they did walk in front of me they stepped on a board and not me.

And when they did they were close enough that when I did move......well lets just say that is when they realized it was not a fake sitting there.

Koooooooool

That's pretty awesome.

What a clever idea - and scary! I bet the kids faces were priceless! Yes, I would also love to see pics of your toxic drums.

Whoa - that is awesome! That's a great idea and costume. Really cool.
