I have been making props for 5 or so years, and collecting decor for 15+.
We had a party last night and I set up the haunt by 8. I tried to get video/pictures at night but the Droid wasn't picking it up very well. If anyone has any ideas on how to get a good clear video with droid at night please let me know. I want to get a video of the full effect, because the pics don't do it justice.
I snapped a few shots of some of my 'scarier' props today. I would get some pics of the decor for the party but the place is trashed atm...Here are some:
This is my flying crank ghost. He moves around like a ghost via pulley's, servo, etc...I have a blacklight and a fan on him for full effect:

Roots the Overseer. He is on the flatroof with a spot on him, looking over the graveyard and unsuspecting Trick r Treaters:

The Tree Man. I made him back in college with my ex, but we had no way to bring it back to Charlotte, so I remade it this year. Simple PVC, chicken wire. At night, I have a red night on him, enhancing the effect. I almost electructed myself setting the light up last night!

Don't have a name for this guy yet, I had a spot on him too last night:

Heading up to the door:

The graveyard, years of work. You really have to see it at night. I have a blue light on all the creatures, gravestones, etc.. and a ground fog machine that rolls out fog every 5 minutes...really creepy when the fog cooperates:

Boo!

Finally, this is my girl that likes to look through the window and people coming up. I set up a light with a lightning machine attached...sounds make the light flicker so it was like a burning out light effect:

That is just a few images....I hope to get a better video tonight or tomorrow night to show everyone the full effect.
Happy Halloween!
