Our theme this year was The Nightmare Before Christmas ... since it practically is Christmas, at least in most retail locations. So to bring our theme to life, we made a Jack Skellington cut-out to post on our front door.
Our door greeter was none other than Jack Skellington ... not bad for a 39-cent posterboard, a pair of scissors and a Sharpie. (10/31/05)
Then, on the door-length fogged-glass window next to our front door, we made a back-lit shadow image of Jack and Sally in Halloween Town. It looked pretty good, I must say.
Our back-lit shadow image turned our pretty well, I have to say. (10/31/05)
We completed the effect with music from The Nightmare Before Christmas Disneyland holiday CD. We had so much fun putting it all together, I think we'll expand on it next year.
Here's the view from a few feet back. Happy Halloween everybody! (10/31/05)
.... One more thing ...
Tom and Christine sent me some cool pics of the awesome costumes that Christine sewed herself. Unfortunately, the Halloween party they went to Saturday night was so lame, no one hardly paid any attention to their costumes. So in tribute to Christine's hard work (and excellent results), I thought I'd post them here.
Christine as ... Dolly Parton! Although Christine already had some of Dolly's attributes, the costume really made them pop. (10/29/05)
Tom as ... Anakin Skywalker! In his version, however, Anakin is large and in charge! (10/29/05)
Great job T&C!!!

By "large and in charge" you mean like, really strong and tough-looking right? Just checking...
Awesome decorations. Did you make the back lit Nightmare decoration yourself? Or did you buy the pattern somewhere? It's COOL.
That's all hand-made, baby!!!
Well, except for Jack and Sally themselves. For that, we made a xerox copy of a picture and cut it out. :)
By "large and in charge" we were talking about Christine's rack! :)
Awesome window!! Come decorate my place next year, please.
