Do you have any pics with strobes and fog going? Are you using a low lying fogger? If not, check out gotfog.com, to make an easy one. Takes about 30 minutes to an hour, use a 48 to 60qt ice chest, cut some holes in the side, run some PVC tubing from the top to one hole, put some thick screen mesh between the holes on the inside, and put the unit somewhere out of site. Then, fill with dry ice an hour or two before use, and put your fogger right up to the one side about an inch away and watch it lay out low lying fog. Very kewl effect. I did it with straight ice cubes and the 1200watt fogger I have spits out too much fog too fast to get chilled. I am hoping the dry ice does the trick, at about $22 to fill up my ice chest with it, it better.

Get a couple of strobes going, and some purple/black lights if you dont have those. I bought some cheap clip on lamp holders for $5 and put black bulbs in them... great for the kids when they walk up and see their self's glowing (if they wear bright items), as well as for those areas where you put some props up that will glow with black light.

Thanks.....yeah got lights and 2 foggers.....need to update pics....only problem is the wind....little windy out back.....the tiki torches look the coolest with fog.....casts lots of shadows.....almost done with garage......really came out creepier than I thought it would....lots of cobwebs you have to duck under.....with a flashing Michael Myers mask hanging in them......very creepy.......also have a flying Casper that sounds creepy......with strobe and black lights......added 3 more scarecrows for hiding places out back......really happy it all came together........I worry about the Garage and suddently it turn out very spooky....attic door is open with lights and cobwebs.....makes you look up and duck under......while we will be hiding low to scare ya.......amazing did not think it would work as well or be scary.....but now it should be perfect.... we have our dry-run party this Sat.,.......hope it goes well.
