Halloween 2001 Where We Began. This was our first year of decorating for Halloween. We decided 2 weeks before Halloween that it would be cool to do up the yard for Halloween. Oh, how much we had to learn!

Where You Face Your FEAR OF DEATH!
After spending our honeymoon in July wandering graveyards and going on a ghost
tour, we came home ready to work!
We started the beginning of August and bought a casket the end of September.
We put in a lot of time & energy and it really shows!
Halloween
2004 The
Expansion of Thanatophobialand
This year, we’ve started planning right after last Halloween.
In March, we acquired our 1986 Pontiac Parisienne Hearse.
We plan on expanding to our backyard and garage this year as well!
Halloween 2005 Once again, we've grown! We'll need to move soon just to get some more room! LOL
Halloween 2006 WOW! What a year! First, our hearse, Drusilla, was used in a music video. Rick even made it into the video! Then, HGTV came out on November 1st and filmed our yard! Unfortunately, it wasn't all good. Rick's cousin, Shirley Dorn, also passed away this year. In her memory, we dedicated our yard display to her. We miss you, Shirley!
Halloween 2007 Each year only gets better! Once HGTV aired "What's With That Halloween House?", the crowds came! What awesome people we met!
Check out Drusilla and Illyria!
