Inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas, this haunting graveyard display blends Halloween’s eerie charm with whimsical decay. Glowing jack-o'-lanterns, corn stalks, an 11-foot Pumpkin King towering over gravestones, fabricated stone walls, and dynamic lighting to paint the scene, all working together to capture both terror and delight.

This project came to life to scratch a long-held Halloween itch. After years of being unable to create a yard display while studying in school, graduation brought new skills and knowledge—perfect for putting to the test in crafting this elaborate setup.
