Michael Jackson's "Thriller" This is another across-the-street video that shows most (about 70%) of our Halloween Light Display. We have added more "monsters" to our graveyard—including some that become activated/animated when they detect motion and/or loud sounds. We have also made our yard more fall/harvest-oriented with the inclusion of cornshocks, straw bales, cartoonish-"scarecrow" manikins, and more pumpkins and other gourds. The majority of our visitors so far say M.J's Thriller is their favorite Halloween Song, and we agree!! It was the most fun and challenging to animate representations of Michael Jackson & Vincent Price to "Lip-Sync" the lyrics! We may not have time to produce another video of our Halloween Light Show since we are now extremely busy with planning, designing, constructing, and programming our 2010 Holidays/Christmas Musical Light Show! We hope it is not a distraction to you that we do not regulate traffic or visitors during the filming.

"This is Halloween" by Danny Elfman from the Disney film "The Nightmare Before Christmas." This video of our entire front-yard Halloween display was videographed from across the street (Adams) and therefore emphasizes our short, orange-purple LED fence and the seven-foot tall purple/orange/green LED Leaping-Light Arbor/Arch. Just beyond the fence is a 16-Tombstone "Cemetery" (each LED spotlit) with a motley assortment of "scary" creatures -- from the left/north they are as follows: a 5-foot hanging pumpkin-headed "Scarecrow Kicker"; a 9-foot raggedy Scarecrow; a 6-foot Ghoul with a Python Snake (fake, of course) around its neck and holding a scythe, a 12-foot white-gowned Ghost, a 7-foot Demon with a trident, a 14-foot black-robed big-red-eyed spook with a chain hanging from its neck. South of the arbor are the following: a 6-foot gray-haired, black-gowned old wizard with a raven perched on its right hand, a 12-foot huge-faced clawed Zombie with very tattered clothes. There are other monsters that will be shown in our last video. The graveyard is also "littered" with many skulls, other bones, and several kinds of "remains" and "corpses." Closer to Halloween, there will also be two fog machines operating to produce an eerie, cloudy mist. Tonight we are having several dozen spectators slowly driving/walking by, and some even sit down in our up-close seating area to view the entire 30-minutes musical light show. The majority of "guests" are young children and "Kimballites" -- but a few are from surrounding towns. Judging from their responses -- the viewers favorite animated Halloween tunes are Thriller, Tubular Bells and This is Halloween (this very song!) Their favorite set-piece is, by far, the AD -- the Animotion Disk! Please visit our YouTube Channel again -- simply by Googling: kimball ne halloween Our ghosts, zombies, ghouls, skeletons and monsters would like to see you IN PERSON!! So would the Meyers!
