Powers Farm Market

Finally got to visit Powers Farm Market in Pittsford, NY for their fall display after many years driving past it. It draws large crowds every fall.

Haunted Eve's Past Yard Haunts

Because we don't set up and photograph our annual yard haunts until just before Halloween, by the time we post the current Halloween year's photos many have moved on from the Halloween season. So here's a reminder that we have many years of our yard haunt photos to enjoy up on Flickr:

Beware The Leprechaun

Home Depot over the past few years has put out an impressive variety of detailed Halloween props and decorations. This Leprechaun prop looks fantastic. It's a shame so many of these props are indoor use only.

2025 Haunt Soundtrack

Our annual Halloween night yard haunt displays dazzle with sights, sounds, and smells (we always use scented candles in our jack-o-lanterns). For our 2025 Demons & Devils themed yard haunt, we're going to be playing Nox Arcana's Grimm Tales album as the backing soundtrack.

At Home Store Giant Inflatable Werewolf

This was really impressive. It stands 20 feet tall!

Creepy Trick-Or-Treater Prop

This prop is a classic example of "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." We have been working on the next few years worth of haunt themes in parallel and ordered a mask hoping it would allow us to create a very specific character prop. Unfortunately, we received the wrong version mask (instead of the Phantasm "Minion Lurker", received the "Evil Lurker" mask). This mask was too grotesque for our intended character use and we quickly realized that the Lurker masks are too small in scale as well. But an idea formed that was inspired by a Pumpkinrot blog post from last year. We had enough spare PVC mannequin parts to construct a small child sized Creepy Trick-Or-Treater prop that we will use on the one side of our garage that is highly visible but really isn't part of the themed yard haunt space. Already working on an expansion of the concept for that display area for 2026!

Cemetery Fence Columns Completed

The faux flame light sconces and D-ring fence chain connectors have been installed on the cemetery columns.
