Oh my gosh, I know that I am ridiculously behind with posts… BYOP was over a month ago and I just haven’t had time to process the photos. October was one of the business months on record for Weddings by Heather, which is such a blessing, but it means that sometimes blogs have to get put on the back burner. Anywho, I’m going to try to catch up over the next few weeks.
Last year we added a haunted trail to the list of BYOP events. We gave a few of the local neighborhood girls a modest budget and a mission. This year, we decided to get involved much earlier and help direct the project. It was a blast. This was the entrance.
Spanish moss was hanging everywhere.
We built many of the props ourselves to save money. The fence and gravestones were all homemade.
We bought cheap wooden pickets from Lowes and attached them loosely with rope to make the cemetery fence. Then the kids spray painted it.
We made the gate and the “brick” pillars. 
This is zombie hill, notice the vertebrae on the big tree on the right.
Close-up of zombie hill, very spooky. There was as strobe light and a teenager hidden by the hill to scare unsuspecting trail walkers.
Another strobe light above the witch skeleton.
I think we had three cemetery’s, I will post the grave making process next.
We had the iPod set up with spooky sounds to add to the atmosphere.
This was werewolf cavern. Do you see those eyes at the top of the pile of wood? They glow and vibrate when people walk past. We also had a teenager stationed here. 
This was a cave (tarp held up with PVC pipe), there were lights and noises inside. A few of the little ones did not dare enter and turned back to the safety of their parents.
Our friend Michelle found this ghost, it would boo and “fly” on the line when someone walked by. So fun.
Bones sticking out of hay, because, well, why not?
