Above: These skulls were lined up along the wall in front of the courtyard and glowed dimly at night, providing a scary approach to the front driveway.
Above: The graveyard, just beyond the front gate was filled with scary old tombstones.
Above left: This stone bench had various faux human bones scattered on it, with a 6' tall candelabra, with several scary candles burning, dripping red blood. Above right: This Zombie was in another corner, with his sickle in hand, as strobe lights flashed in the darkness, giving guests just enough of view to be frightened.
Above left: The front foyer had lots of cobwebs, spiders and skulls greeting guests. Above right: what would a Halloween party be without trick or treat gift bags?
Above: Outside by the back pool was this scary Skull Water Fountain, which we built ourselves. It stood over 6 feet high, and rested in the pool. Water cascaded down from the top Skull, and from the six smaller Skulls below. The water flowed out of the mouths of the Skulls and back down into the pool.
Above: Finally, some photos I took at night that actually show the full effect! We used red lights in the pool and hot tub to create an effect that the pool was filled with blood. The other landscape lights were also red, giving the entire back property an eery glow. Just beyond the hot tub we had one of several TVs with a continuos feed of videos we made with clips from horror films.

Talk about going all out! What a great saet-up. It reminds me of the haunter house a friend and I put together in his garage. Thanks for sharing the photos.
WOW! That was some party! Great decorations!
I like the exterior alot...the graveyard and archway etc...I bet it was awesome at night.
Everything looks great Rick. You did a fantastic job on the house. The zombies, skeletons and spooky gravestones look like something out of the Thriller video! I like the idea of the red lights in the pool and tub and also the continuous stream of horror clips. Gosh you thought of everything! Happy Halloween!
