WITCHLADEE'S HALLOWEEN WONDERLAND

Welcome! I've always loved Halloween, and saw this "witch in a tree" while traveling-so just had to do one for our yard. We bought the broom and hat-and used things we had around the house. Her hands are work gloves spray-painted with orange neon paint-her legs are an old rag rug rolled around pieces of wood stuck into and old pair of cowboy boots. Add a wig, black cape and nail her in the tree! We had people almost creating car accidents driving by and slamming on the brakes to see her-from that year on people referred to me as "The Witchlady."  From there on out we began adding a few things every year and went from 25 TOT's to over 250 as of 2001. Not bad for a small town! Pour yourself a goblet of brew and take a moment to see what other things we've added-and do check back as the Warlock of the house has his power tools primed and ready!!

Bleeding skull fountain sits in the midst of the graveyard. Our tombstones are just wood scraps we painted up.

Can you guess witch one is me?

Icko zombie right outside the front door-I knew he was there but he scared me every time! You can see Jason inside the window-a little creepier looking at night.

Isn't she pretty?? My warlock formed her using PVC, wire, pipe foam and wood. I took a styrofoam wig head and added a laytex nose-then painted her face. Put a turn-table in the bottom of a pond liner and added cheese cloth sprayed with glow in the dark paint. Her hands are work gloves stuffed with paper and glued to a black painted PVC stick with a skull finial at the top. Attached the PVC stick to the turn table-added a green spot light and there you go!

Ghoul in the wishing well. His mask in mounted on a small oscillating fan-so he spent all of his time guarding the yard.
