Halloween 2023

Now that we are well past Christmas, I am starting to sketch out plans for Halloween. Last year's display was incredibly successful, but now I want to kick t up another notch. Here some of the ideas I mentioned previously:

• Have a table and chairs set up - Rickety looking and weathered, with 3 pirate skeletons playing poker with piles of pirate coins glued into piles on the table...
• Get the biggest dragon skeleton I can find that is not insanely priced and have it leashed with yet another skeleton (maybe a 3' tall one) pulling the leash while waling backwards...
• Build a 10 foot (ish) long bow of a pirate caravel complete with a deck and bowsprit and rope rigging and giant hole in the side. Maybe have a skeleton hanging upside down in the rigging... Maybe name it the Revenge (10 points to whomever gets the reference)
• Rope lights in orange or purple to mark paths in the grave yard and around the shipwreck, etc.
• I may do flame pathway lights with white rope (to glow under UV lights) instead
• Have a pair of pirates sword fighting in a crazy manner of some sort using their left hands. One can be wearing a mask, the other with sign asking if you have seen a six-fingered man... (10 more points possible here...)
• Move the graveyard to the side yard so it is visible from the main road, with the pirate shipwreck being set up behind the graveyard.
• The sword fight and poker table will be set up in this area...
• If we do this, I will likely move the outhouse to the front yard, along with the underground prison...
• The spiders will likely stay in the back corner, but I may try to make a monster sized spider...

More to come as I start mapping this out and coming up with plans...
