Halloween '09 Inspirations

A tangible beginning of inspiration to this years theme for my yard haunt. Start with a dash of the three little pigs, a pinch of swine flu, a tbsp of Silent Hill and Tooth and Nail, 1/3 cup the last half of House of 1000 Corpses and, of course, a heaping cup of Halloween for a completely inappropriate and tasteless theme...

It sounds worse than it is. I have a loose little story line playing in my head, a surprisingly it's just a little political... but we won't let that get in the way of our fun.

Not very impressive at the moment but I hope SOON to change that. Now all I have to do is get the energy to actually get everything in the same place and get with the corpsing.

I'm actually starting a bit early this year, but I feel like I'm already years behind.
