Title: Halloween 2011
Post by: Ashtyn on October 30, 2011, 08:22:28 pm
Post here your Halloween shenanigans, if any!


Halloween is a big deal to my boyfriend, so the house always gets decorated, and we have to dress up as something.
Here are some pictures from the front yard graveyard we put out this year...
I'll post pictures of us dressed up for Halloween after Halloween night.  ;)

I don't know what possessed him to make tombstones for the Top Gear presenters, but here they are...

If you watch Doctor Who, you know this one.

I think this is a line from Ghost Busters.

And he made a couple of Addams Family themed tombstones...

This was the very first tombstone he ever made, and it gets re-featured every year.

This is the tree thing you can see on top of the hill, while was still on the backyard being made.


...and we're gonna be carving pumpkins all night it seems. But this is the one I made that I like the most.
(I don't know why one pumpkin is eating the other pumpkin, just felt like a good idea)

Thanks Ken!
That's about... $30 in insulating styrofoam, some old sheets, lots of paper mache, some cans of Oops Paint from Home Depot, some water sealer... maybe $50 total. ....and a couple of months of on and off work. I can make limited resources go far in RL too.  ;)

And here are the pumpkins we carved.
This year only 10, because money is tight. One year we carved over 40 pumpkins!

Well, it's been a good Halloween. Got trick-or-treaters come by, went out with Tye terrifying children (Tye did the terrifying part), got thrown out of the mall, got instantly recognized and hit on by the girls at Barnes & Noble....

Here, have some self-indulgent photos....

I don't have David Tennant's baby face, but I thought this one was pretty cool.   :)


That's it for this Halloween here. ...next year I should be The Stig...
