Yard haunt--Pumpkin patch lighting

Post by Pumpkin56 » Wed Jul 27, 2011 5:45 pm

Hi everyone. New here. Just wondering if anyone had any tips or techniques for lighting a pumpkin patch yard haunt. As it stands right now, the plan is to make the pumpkin patch take up the entire front yard. There will be a lot of carved and non-carved pumpkins of different sizes and probably an animated scarecrow (maybe the Harvester from Spirit when it's available). Everything I have read suggests that amber flood lights are the way to go. However, lighting is definitely my weakness when it comes to yard haunts-I was never really able to get the lighting just right on past graveyard attempts. I also saw a diagram on lighting on yardhaunter.com. It didn't make a great deal of sense to me so if anyone has any tips or ideas, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :D

Hi Pumpkin56,
Your yard idea sounds wonderful, I think I would use battery operated christmas lights all around them, purple, green or orange ones!! Good luck!!
