Yard Haunt '05

Up Yard Haunt '05 Costume Party '05
This year re-built the mechanics the two large pillars, re-designed the garage part of the haunt, essentially turning the garage into a walk-through haunted house and eliminating the possibility of parking our cars inside.  Added a front facade, added three walking zombies, many new tombstones, a new pneumatic monument, re-built the two fountains, re-built the dungeon out of wood (did I mention I hate metal studs), and made some lighting and sound changes.  Storage is still an issue, but we will worry about that later.....

The display is open Dusk - 10 pm every night (weather permitting) through Halloween.
