Jack-O-Lanterns 2017

Jack-O-Lantern Graveyard

I took some pictures of the final resting place of this year's jack-o-lanterns.

The Yard of the Living Dead 2013

Here is a quick picture of the path of jack-o-lanterns leading safely through The Yard of the Living Dead this year.

 

Long Weekend of Prop Building

I am taking advantage of a long weekend to do some prop building in the garage. I mixed up a batch of paper mache for a couple of projects.

Here is the beginning of my first ground breaker.

Here are a couple of pumpkins that will be carved and corpsed.

I am also cutting down the rest of my bottles to make more Halloween lanterns.

I made another huge haul of foam sheets for tombstones while dumpster diving. The sheets on the left measure 24" wide and 40" tall. The sheets on the right measure 16" wide and 45" tall. All of the sheets are 2 1/2" thick. The two different sizes should yeild a good variety of tombstone shapes.

I salvaged 34 sheets of each size of foam. I could have brought even more home; but my wife would have killed me. This should be enough...for this year.

Jack-O-Lanterns 2011

We continued our annual pumpkin carving tradition this year.  Our kids did theirs pretty much by themselves.  We listened to the Halloween Party channel on Pandora Radio while we carved this year's Jack-O-Lanterns and had a thoroughly enjoyable time.

FREEDOM!!!

It's become a tradition for me to carve at least one melon-o-lantern on the fourth of July.  So, I hope you enjoy my celebration of my freedom to pay tribute to Halloween in July.
