Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

First off, I'm new here, and I just wanna say, I love it here!

Okay, one idea I had that went over great was I made tombstones for my walkway to the front door. I made up epitaphs for all my neighbors. It's even better if you know any of their interests, i.e. Nascar, shopping, baseball, etc., and work that into their epitaph.

One example was for my neighbor Mike, a cameraman for CSI, whose wife really wanted a Cadillac Expedition:

Here Lies Mike, the Cameraman
Bought his wife a minivan

I know, cheesy, but he loved it (his wife loved it even more).

Lol, yeah my mom (when she was alive) used to buy tombstones and made them especially say like "Here lies Lucas Allen Franklin (my brother)" and some quirky quote, and we still have like 3 of them in my basement, so, I saw it and was like "Wow thats really hot"

I did my first graveyard last year and it went really well, I bought one of those paper tomb stones from party city and just used it for a pattern and made some out of wood.. I painted them a really light silver so they would glow in my black light and it was really nice. I also bought a couple of the coffins from there as well but they were rather flimsey and broke after the first crowd came through and my son sat up in it.. hopefully I can figure out how to make some this year that will work for active occupants..

Wead some really simple coffins last year out of wood. It didn't take much but wood is a little more expensive this year.

not unless you find it.

My favorites... I have used all of these at one time or another.
