2025 Halloween Summer Prop Builds

The summer prop builds for our Halloween 2025 yard haunt have begun. We finished building the first of four new cemetery columns today. When all are completed they will get painted with gray Behr Textured DeckOver paint and then finished with a transparent black antique coat. This year we're moving the cemetery headstones out to the front yard around our October Glory maple tree. When the columns are finished, each outward facing column side will have a faux wrought iron battery powered LED flame sconce mounted on it (eight sconces in total). The hope is to create some visual interest without going crazy with detailed trim pieces on the columns. The columns will be linked together with silver plastic security chains to set the cemetery space. A set of three aediculas will go along the front walkway garage wall to replace the headstones that we usually place there. One aedicula was built a couple years ago, two additional ones still need to be built later this summer.
