Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

I have a pergola out over my deck, and I was thinking of covering the whole thing with some sort of Halloween fabric, and then tie it to the posts, to look like curtains on the sides, and put a table in the middle with a cool carved pumpkin on it, and a cool chandelier. I think it would be cool to make dummies up of all the different Halloween creatures-werewolf, vampire, frankenstein and the mummy, and have them sitting at the table. I am opening my pumpkin carving contest up to the public this year, hopefully I'll have pumpkins everywhere.

Sounds great. What a tableau that would make!!

I agree, I can't wait to see pictures... I'm a very visually oriented kind of guy!

Oh pumpkin carving contests are soooo fun. The college did a pumpkin glow each year and people would carve their pumpkins and bring them to the event. Everyone lit theirs and numbered them, then you got to go around, choose your favorite and vote. It was soooo neat because there were hundreds of pumpkins.

I love it when I can use the words "hundreds" and "pumpkins" in the same sentence!!

Spooky, that sounds awesome! Would love to see pictures afterwards

Mandy0221, that would be such an awesome sight to see all those pumpkins glowing in mass bunches, could you post pictures next time if they hold it again?

Oh yes I certainly will DOD - I never thought to take pictures before, but this year I will make an exception!

Thanks Mandy0221, can't wait to see them. I only usually do 3-5 pumpkins, well cause I carve them all myself But I still love my little trio

That sounds like an awesome idea! Please do take pictures, would love to see howit turns out..
