Scary
Terry's Haunted Yard 2004
|
Welcome to my haunted yard for 2004. This year we added some new props including a "rotating tunnel that you walk through" and modified some of the older props. Enjoy. Click on the pictures for a larger image |
Everyone
was welcomed by our giant rooftop ghost.
|
Our
new and improved Joking Skeleton Heads (JOSH) were back after an absence
last year. This pair tells about 50 really bad Halloween jokes.
|
At
the heart of the new JOSH is completely self contained electronics which
makes setting up a breeze. More

|
Here's
Gus (some call him Pops) our graveyard guard, alert as ever. More
info..
|
Our
cemetery was pretty much the same as the last couple of years and included
the Grave Stomper and Nessie, the flying crank ghost.
|
The
Grave Stomper is an ongoing project, I like to add something new each
year. This year, head nodding motion was added to go along with the head
turning, eye blink
|
and mouth movement. Next year, I plan to add some arm movements. More info... |
Here's
Nessie, hovering over the graveyard.
|
This
shows the rigging for Nessie. I run a pair of ropes between our house
and a pine tree. She hangs about six feet below the mechanism.
|
Fred
was one of my first pneumatic props, but he took way too long to set up
since we'd have to dig a hole for the hand cylinder. This year, I mounted
everything (cylinder, speakers, electronics) in a plastic storage box
so he is truly plug-n-play.
|
This
is one of our many laser
carved tombstones. The spider webs are from a hot glue gun shooter.
