Halloween wraps fear in innocence,
As though it were a slightly sour sweet.

Re: Do you think I'm weird?
I see... so, are you going to get it later on or what? Or, do you still look for the best tombstones? I like high quality designs of the tombstones because they do look REAL! I don't like to buy any cheap tombstones like from the Party City, Target, Wal Mart, etc.
The only way I like is Halloween Planet and Halloween Express. Right now, Alarming Products doesn't carry that much tombstones in stock!

Re: Do you think I'm weird?
I think cheap ones from stores look real too. But break and fall over to easy.
I do not have any money. I am hoping to start a yard sale and get rid of old junk and make some $$$!!

Re: Do you think I'm weird?
Yeah, that's a good start to do the yard sale and sell some of the old stuffs away and make extra money! I hope so it will work for you to make more money, so you can spend on everything you want to decorate your own graveyard at home!
Well, long time ago, I believe I was only 17 at high school... a teacher told me that we don't have to do the classwork because she needed us to help her out by folding the flyers called "Be A Booster" for school fund-raising organization, I can't remember all the details. Somehow, I was bad boy... I took some flyers and put in my bookbag and took them home. I walked all the houses for people to read, sign their names and give me the money! I saved the money and spent myself with good new clothes and stuffs like that! All students can't believe that I did it!!!

Re: Do you think I'm weird?
You just sound a bit OCD. I put a graveyard scene out every year. last year I even got insulation foam (2" thick) at the home improvement store. I cut it into tombstone shapes for my son's 5th grade class. I paintd them gray and used some stone paint as well. They all got to make their own tombstones and we made a big graveyard. They took them home afterward.

Re: Do you think I'm weird?
Naw, you aren't weird. I like grave yards too...they're very serene and peaceful...and they're safe because everyone's dead...unless you live in the Philapines where people actually live in the grave yards due to overcrowding. The grave yard up here is very pretty.
If you want to do a real grave yard, maybe you should buy real head stones. XD;
Naw I'm kidding, that'd be WAY too expensive, and rediculous. Have you tried just painting on real stones? I wish I could do a grave yard scene...but my grandmother kind of limits me on what I can do. I'm lucky that she lets me put my black cats out on the porch for display.

This probably seems crazy, crazy, a graveyard theory,

Re: Do you think I'm weird?
No, not at all. Maybe it's the history that intrigues you, let's face it, everyone has a story, and maybe when you see all the markers of people that have passed, you are interested in their stories.
Myself, I have a fear of death, and that's why I'm into Halloween. It makes me take a fun lighthearted approach to a subject (at least the death/ghost/spooky stuff) that in reality I find terrifying. Being a Halloween addict is cheaper than therapy!!
Now if you were constantly thinking of your OWN death, or plotting it (heaven forbid) Then I'd say you should seek professional counsel!

Re: Do you think I'm weird?
Hey, I start thinking about Halloween when the first decorations start showing up in late July. The truth is that I never really stop. It's my favorite day of the year. Actually, I look at is as a season.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN...

Re: Do you think I'm weird?
When my husband and I were in the UK back in '96 we didn't have a lot of spending money, so for fun we would go to old graveyards. Hubby knocked on a tomb and woke an old ghost up. He heard the footsteps behind him as we were leaving the graveyard (and he is NOT the kind of person to ever believe that sort of stuff). The graveyards in England and Scotland were awesome.
Be afraid....be very afraid!

Re: Do you think I'm weird?
If I was goint to point my finger and say "You're wierd," I would be pointing at a mirror. Halloween is a "wierd" holiday, so don't worry about it. I like skelitons, pumpkins, vampires and the like, youlike grave yards. It's Halloween Fun. In this forum, you would be "wierd" if you didn't like these things. <narf narf>

Re: Do you think I'm weird?
I think that if you are enjoying it, you are not weird. All part of the Halloween festivities.
By the way, how is school going this year? Enjoying it so far?

When I got the gravestone I thought putting a graveyard in the front yard and pretending it is real was fun. So that gravestone started my obsession (not sure if I am spelling everything right) with cemeteries. Now every Halloween I put a graveyard in the front yard. I like to look at them on the internet. I get all exited when I see gravestones in a store at Halloween time. A friend of mine said it is not normal for me to be looking up graveyards on the internet all the time. What do you think? Do you think I'm weird?

Re: Do you think I'm weird?
I really like the old churches, castles and caves in Europe. The old cathedrals with the ancient tombs below them or near them are just amazing. Ditto with the old castles. In particular I liked the ones in Wales and the rest of the UK. Also the Swiss and German ones were awesome to see.
Some of the Stonehenge-like areas are quite cool. I prefer the non-Stonehenge ones because they are less well known and consequently not crowded.

Me too!
I do like old churches, castles, tombstones, graveyards, etc. in Europe. I've seen some scary movies where Christopher Lee acted as Dracula in England and Scotland. It was good movies thru...
Have you seen "The Wicker Man" 1973 version? Also, have you seen "Horror of Dracula?"
