The general idea is to turn the whole front of the house into a castle. I think we are about 1/3 there with the props. We put part of what we have up on Mothers day, and took pictures.
We don't normally do the 'haunt' thing,...just select a theme each year and run with it. The other part of the equation is to spend the least amount of money as possible..so all recycled materials.
This "castle" is paper mache (flour and water and newspaper) on broken and discarded doors
from garbage piles.

The second story of the castle will be built about the same and attached to about the middle of the roof itself. We plan on putting circular lookout things on the top of the squarish towers (three towers total)..and three circular towers on the roof itself.
Of course, all the bricks will be filled in when we put it up..these are all separate doors right now..and the towers will be left like they are..painted the same color as the castle.
Can anyone see it in thier head? Or do you have to be drinking rum..like we are, when we come up with this stuff?...lol
