My Yard Haunt: Porcupine Gulch (PHOTOS!)

darkfairycthulu · 10-31-2009, 06:37 PM

The main event has come and gone, now, but figured I would share photos of this year's backyard haunt for those who care to see...we made vast improvements, I feel, over previous year, and all seemed to work well. Enjoy!

As is obvious, somewhat, the theme is an abandoned mining town populated by the restless spirits of those who perished there, be it to gunfights, mine disasters, illness, or other ghastly ends....

Please click on the "See all 59 pictures" link for the full photo set, slideshow available from there as well.

Thank you! And no, heh, all about Halloween...Christmas is just the standard one inside tree deal, basically.

Thanks very much! And yes, basically spot on...it comes down to using the space well and putting things out evenly, correct lighting, etc. Of course, always could use just a little more space to work...

Your yard is insanely amazing! Does the ghost town stay up all year? Where on earth do you store all that stuff? How long does it take you to set up?
