So we had the party on the 25th in town, and had hauled all the halloween decor over there. Then quickly took it all down and brought it home. I set everything back up on the 31st and took it all down again by 11pm that night.
It rained, hard… I already posted a few rainy pictures. The props all held up fantastically, no paper mache fatalities thanks to sealing everything. Though I live on the Canadian west coast so we expect it to rain here. 
I look at a lot of homemade props and I think, “I can do that.” Others, I look at and think, “Wow, that’s insane. I think with a little work, I could do a lesser version of that.” I look at your props and I think, “Holy [expletive deleted] [expletive deleted]! How the [expletive deleted] did she do that?!?!”
This kind of talent just isn’t right.
You are incredible, year after year! I hope you enjoy it as much as you do building it C:
Wonderful Displays, love it.
Brilliant! Your props, your attention to detail, your lighting and atmosphere. It’s all amazing. I really like the FCG with the actual skull face and hands and I am dismayed that I spent tons of time building a PVC graveyard fence when I like your wooden fence so much better.
Two last things – the red tree in your yard is gorgeous and that witch on your porch is one of the most stunningly realistic props i’ve every seen!
Love your site.
Wonderful creations!
wow ds that looks great -i thougt that was a real person near your door
Wow, Thanks everyone for all the comments.
That witch by my door is a mannequin – I could never make something like THAT! she always spooks everyone, we dress her up differently each year.
it looks so rad. how the heck do you make paper mache do that? you’re a talented one, you are.
FANTASTIC setup! Glad you took lots of photos.
I was dying to see the witch in her element.
That prop blows me away!
I guess the rain must have blown over to you, because we didn’t get any on the Island! I was very very happy about that.
Good work ‘West Coast proofing’ your props though!
Abofreakin’lutely amazing! I wish I had half your talent . . . well done!
Hey…I visit your website a few times a month just to marvel at your work.
Love love love it! You rock.
I had to take a triple take at the front door witch! That was you???? Angie, you looked great!

heehee, no Melissa, the witch at the door is my mannequin.
Though I have sometimes dressed her in whatever I wore the previous year, and stood her where ever I had been standing…
Your spiderwebs, are they spandex? all I’ve ever seen is the web spinner, and the bagged webbing
The spiderwebs in the pictures are made using Beef Netting. It can be purchased online through Trenton Mills.

It is sort of like a super stretchy cheese clothe. I purchased 5lbs of it about 4 years ago, (I can cover a LOT of area with it) and it still has lots of life left in it. It comes in a tube, and you will need to cut it open and then cut it into pieces. I soaked mine in RIT fabric whitener to make it glow under a black light.
