I joined forces with a haunter down the way this year & we put a much larger display up along a pathway that connects up a couple parts of our neighbourhood. My wife was happy that I didnt try to cram a full house worth of halloween into the front of our townhouse this year & I think, based on the reaction from the nearly 300 kids we had, it was a success from that side as well. We've already started planning for 2016 & have a few more neighbours bought in to help us next year also. Yay!
I repurposed a junked crate from work to make my own supersize vortex fog chiller this year:
Two full coolers of ice (good thing I got it for free!)
Success, sort of. Hmm. Actually, the problem wasnt the fog, it was *cold*. The problem was mother nature messing with me. It was *windy*. Initially, had this set up in a good spot, location wise, but, it was in a wind back eddy, and, was a complete fail. relocated it and, at times, when the wind dripped off, it worked well.
The end of our section, welcoming visitors...
The final tally was 51 headstones. A bunch of them looked way too new though, and they were. Id just made 18 or so in the last week. Ran out of time to weather them. Ah well. Theyll be weathered next year!
The graveyard continues...

Just because I cannot see it, doesn't mean I can't believe it!
