The Stay Puft Marshmallow man was purchased and the skeletons are old favorites. Everything else was created for this year. I'm especially loving the hovering specters we made using some pvc pipe, chicken wire and cheese cloth.
The kids who pass by seem to enjoy it and I'm pleasantly surprised just how many young kids have seen Ghostbusters which is turning 30 years old this year! Note to those parents: You are doing it right!
Now its time for party prep!

This looks so fantastic, was excited to see what you did this year! It looks wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteGhostbusters is one of my all-time favorite movies, bravo! ("Okay, so, she's a dog.). I'd love to see how those pipe-cheesecloth ghosts were created. As an aside, do you ever get concerned about your decorations getting stolen? (Just curious, FWIW I live thousands of miles from you). :-)
ReplyDeleteI am concerned enough to tie everything down very well. Not to say it couldn't be removed if someone really tried hard but obviously they would risk being discovered in the time it would take to untie. So either we have been very lucky for all these years or I'm a really good at knots :)
DeleteHad a sign stolen one year from our display even though it was wired on. Bummer.
DeleteSeriously you never ever disappoint at Halloween!! Love this so much!!! So fun!
ReplyDeleteThis is so good!! I love the skeletons on the steps. I bet they are going to scare a few trick-or-treaters. Love the wooden signs. LOVE the door with the names on it. This is AWESOME!!!

You are the Queen of Halloween! Another exciting display.
ReplyDeleteSeriously impressive! I love the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man! Fond memories of seeing Ghost Busters at the Drive-In movie theater in my home-town. And you're telling me that was 30 years ago - amazing!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this.
ReplyDeleteLove the homage to the movie. Carnival and Insane asylum are still my favorites, but probably best to go a little lighter with the little one around. Look forward to your Halloween post every year, and still have the party deets to look forward to. Thanks for always being inspiring!!!
