Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
With Halloween looming once again we set up all the decorations that we'd used last year and we added more. One of our spookiest is an animated witch that is holding a child by her legs over a cauldron as she kicks and screams.
Last year Teresa wore a minion costume. It looked great but was difficult to see out of as she handed out treats. I dressed as Gru. This year we decided to use those costumes as props instead. We positioned them beside the garage door that we project Minion mini-movies on so that they appear to be watching the movies.
We also used a couple of plastic skeletons that I propped up using steel rods stuck into the ground. After I added a few cheap pieces of plastic armor they remind me of a scene from the old 60's movie Jason and the Argonauts.
I got a few plastic barrels off of Craigslist that I decorated to hold the treats we'll be handing out. The larger one will be for cans of pop and the smaller one for bags of chips.
I took an old werewolf costume and stretched it over the box that some tti headers had been shipped in. - No sense leaving it in the closet when I could junk up the yard further!
We've got an entire coven of witches on display now. The cauldrons have a fog machine hooked to them that adds to the spooky atmosphere.
Our inflatable jack o lantern and spider light up at night.
The walk in garage door was a good spot for a door covering.
The last few years we've used plastic pumpkins that we project talking faces on. The effect has always pleased the trick or treaters. We added a lit jack o lantern on either side.
It wouldn't be complete without our zombie graveyard.
Last year we used 5 computers and 5 projectors to make the yard come to life with motion. This year we've stepped it up to 8. Three of them are located inside the house and project onto the windows and door. The outside ones make the pumpkins animate, another witch appear to cast spells, the movie on the garage door, and 2 others are projected onto 2 separate screens that I constructed out of electrical conduit and sheer curtains. Those display ghosts and skeletons.
Although these following videos are not of our house decorations, they are examples of some of the displays we have going on.
