Let me know what you think! I'm already thinking of ways to improve for the 2023 video. 

Coming Soon: Haunt Video 2022

EDIT: Video is up on YouTube!

Putting the final touches on the video for Halloween 2022.  Gonna be test-uploading for quality checks, and will likely publish it before the weekend.  I'll be sure to post a link on the blog once it's up.

Halloween 2022: The Carver

Beware of The Carver
On Hallowe'en Night.
A sharp knife he carries...
He's really a fright!

Don't let him catch you
With a shadow'd embrace...
He'll scoop out your seeds,
and carve you a face!

Turns out I was so excited to shoot video for this year's display that I photos kind of fell to the wayside... But I do have plenty of footage with even better angles.

Until I get that edited, here are the best of the photos I did take.  

I'm quite satisfied with this year's theme, and I think it really came together. As with every year, I learned a lot (#1: When taking photos, make a shot list!). There's things I'll do again and things I'll do differently, but at the end of the day, I'm happy with this one.

My neighbor has already greenlit me for next Halloween!  I better get started...

Thanks to everyone who's been following the blog and my Instagram, your continued interest and support mean everything to me!

10 days!

It's down to the wire...

“Don't let him catch you...”

"...he'll carve a face into pretty much anything he can get his hands on..."

20 days until Halloween

Someone's outside....

24 days until Halloween

I'm not dead

(I'm getting better!)

Every year I forget how busy things get beginning in September. 

I apologize for the lack of content on the blog recently.  I've been working diligently on the haunt while also juggling my other personal-life priorities. Naturally, I've had to step away from regular blog posting in order to allocate my time effectively. 

However, I'll be drafting posts for the Countdown to Halloween 2022 blogging event, of which I am a Crypt Keeper. These posts will publish throughout October, leading up to the Big Night, so stay tuned to October Branches to catch those!

In the meantime, feel free to follow me on Instagram @tjalgahorn, where I have been posting photos and video snippets here and there. 

36 days until Halloween...

50 Days

It's been a hell of a week, and the pressure is on.

In 61 days... beware The Carver

We are only two months away from Halloween.  It's going to be down to the wire for this year's display. But to celebrate the impending arrival of the Big Night, here's a test photo of one of my props for the upcoming haunt.
