This was an elaborate yard display located in Lansing that featured a boarded up house surrounded by a wrought iron fence complete with gargoyles guarding the corners. The main gate featured pop down windows with surprises behind them, and the yard was filled with animatronic props like a skeleton shaking the bars of the gate, a skeleton popping out of his coffin, and skeleton pall bearers carrying a fellow deceased person. In addition, bats hung in the trees, and a murder committed by a skeleton was projected on the front window. One impressive touch included the sounds of thunder and spotlights that blinked on and off like lightning, all synched to the thunder effects.
