With Halloween Horror Nights behind me and October 31st coming up, I have nearly everything needed to put out little graveyard together. While Trick ‘r Treating will be Halloween night, weather watch says we might be competing with light rain that night, although it looks to be clearing up the day after. This could all change (and has been changing) over the next week, so no worries yet.

To give you (and myself) a sense of what I’m trying to accomplish here, I took a series of pics with my camera phone to present where I’m starting from.

Above is the side lot. The house is back behind the driveway and the Saturn VUE and extends down to the fence in the back (there’s more yard back there, too, maybe for another year!) The side walk runs parallel to the street down to that green electric box marking the end of the property. Yep, M R ducks on the bottom right.

Above is a shot from the opposite end of the yard just behind the green electric box and looking down the fence on the property line. Here you can get a better sense of how big the lot is I’m trying to fill.

Above is what most people will see either from the road driving by or walking past The Lot. This will be “Headstone Row,” the visible part of the cemetery. I’m thinking five or six plots here, each made up to look like fresh graves in front of the tombstones. What you can’t see too well is the tree to the right where you can hide things that scream at you when you walk by looking the wrong direction. Remember, kids: scaring people requires misdirection and timing! More to come…
