Doing MUCH Better

Getting excited about my holiday....Halloween!!!
this year Chris says I can actually build my graveyard and spook my trees and bushes...My daughter is into it totally as well, she's planning out how to put together a dead body that we can have **half buried** in the yard ( you know night of the living dead style but she wants to be the one laying there to scare the living bejeezus out of anyone that comes too close...shes so creative!!!) so i figure i have a little over a month to get it all in place...but we would like to have a week of scares before Halloween, only i think i would only have her buried for Halloween night...i would use a fake body for the week prior...that way any repeat visitors wont be expecting that...
anybody got any other scary ideas i could use? they cant be too over the top though...we have little kids in the nieghborhood that might not be so good with too much blood and gore...
we have a huge yard so we thought to do a trail around the yard and showcase several different scenes...but i am thinking for this year to maybe just do a graveyard and a fright forest for the trick or treaters to walk through.....my daughter told me that she thought she could get a few of her friends to help scare people...Plus i am going to put a classified add in the free papers and post a board at the end of our street....Oh yeah....i am ready for THEE Holiday!! ( its my favorite even over Christmas!)

hope every one is doing well...
