A couple of years ago we uploaded a pic of our Mickey Mouse shaped bush in the front garden, now then, because we love Halloween and Disney so much, we thought we'd have a go at a bit of halloween theming.......

The Crypt



And Crypt Lid (a bit basic but kinda works)



And The Rest.....
















Still got lots of finishing to do, cracks need to be painted on the 2 gateposts, got to hide the electric cables, the black iron fence between the 2 gateposts has to be fitted, gravestones fitted, green led lighting, fog machine, dry ice is in place - list goes on....

Anyway let us know what you think - comments suggestions (although out of time now) are more than welcome

Haha, that's awesome. I'd love to see some photos of the finished thing with fog machines and everything working :)

Great job, thanks for sharing it with us :twisted:

Just our attempt at home imagineering - amazing what can be done with some mdf, loft insulation material, floor cement and weathershield paint :D

After halloween is over, the 2 posts are going to get a placement in our back garden. Should make a nice difference to the garden lights from B&Q.

Excellent work. Ours is nowhere near as ornate, but I thought I might share some picks of our garden for this year. Please bear in mind 2 of the jack o lanterns were done by a 4 year old and a 6 year old (we must have had about 200 trick or treaters last night).










since 2001 (many before that)

Yeah, had loads of ppl taking photo's, especially when we had the dry ice & smoke machine in full flow, couple of kids wouldn't come into the garden :)

Have to say tho, we wouldn't have been inspired to do it without having been to DLRP

BTW, your kids look awesome in their costumes :D

Started on a mockup for next years halloween



Also aiming to have the wooden/stone balconies above the front door with pirates fighting and fake flames :D
