Sounds like an excellent plan! That's what I do every year and everyone loves it. Make sure you have a bunch of sound effects and lighting to make the cobwebs glow :)

Have you ever heard of those bells that people would hook up (above ground) to someone's grave so incase the deceased "wake up" they can pull a string to make the bell ring so people could dig them up? I set up a grave like that at my place one year and rigged the bell to ring a few times every minute. I also had a cardboard box buried under some soil with a CD player hooked up to a speaker in it face-down into a cloth (so the sound was muffled) and all you could hear was thumping like someone was trying to escape. Everyone loved it!! So there's a little something that would be cool to try :)

that bell idea sounds so cool :) i bet i could design something to where its all run to just one string (fishing line perhaps) pull it, and have all the bells start cluttering at once :)
Last night 'twas witching Hallowe'en
Dearest; an apple russet- brown
I pared, and thrice above my crown
Whirled the long skin; they watched in keen;
I flung it far; they laughed and cried me shame
Dearest, there lay the letter of your name!
