Reading horror stories at midnight in cemetaries.

Real beef blood!?!
I'm impressed.

We hardly ever use our front door, but keep a porch light on b/c the UPS truck insists on delivering there, not to the door on the driveway. As a result, the front porch is festooned with spider webs. I had planned to clean them off this past weekend but then had a brilliant idea. Trick & treaters come to the front door, so I'm leaving the webs up as "natural" decorations. If we get any nasty visitors, maybe the spiders will catch & cocoon them!

if they are going to be a more or less deliberate part of your decoration get some metallic spray paint and spray them. they come out pretty awesome!

yeah - just spritz the webs lightly

I was thinking of the glitter spray folks use in their hair

"Haunted Lane" is done by the daughter of a friend of mine, and I think it's pretty amazing.

WOW - "Haunted Lane" is very impressive!

HarryT · 10-27-2010, 10:00 AM

It is, isn't it! She's at art school, and I think it really is a work of art.

poohbear_nc · 10-27-2010, 10:08 AM

You just can't tell from the un-illuminated photo what to expect - then you scroll down - wow!

If you get some on the spiders you'll be able to see them coming more easily!
