Haunt Retrospective
Re-post of the Retrospective Gallery post to bump it up (just added a photo from the 2024 display).
Had fun posting these to Instagram and wanted to have them all in one place on the blog. Prior to the first display photo below from 1986, we did random things like stuffed dummies or rubber masks hanging in the tree. 1986 was an important year as it established that the lawn would always be some kind of cemetery. And it featured a prop centerpiece (a focal point), which would become a general theme in the coming decades. The Ghost standing in the cemetery had a flashing strobe light in its head, and even now after all these years I love the vibe in that photo. It really captures what I love about Halloween. The macabre absurdity of it all. Creating some strange little world on a small lawn of a brick house in a strip of rowhomes in suburbia. Trying to make the ordinary (and life) spooky... and making it a little mysterious too.
