Halloween Yard Haunt

619 N Drury Ln, Arlington Heights, IL 60004

Welcome to the Drury Lane Cemetery Halloween Yard Haunt.  We began building Halloween props for our Halloween yard display in 2006.  We have grown in size each year since then and have tackled designing and building bigger and more sophisticated props using electric motors, digital servos and computerized lighting and control.

We created our own light show software that utilizes Insteon home automation technology and is now available as a commercial software product that you can buy from JLTSoft called Light Show Master.

Halloween 2009

This year's Halloween display will debut on Saturday, October 17.  Animations will typically be turned on at or around dusk and are turned off at 11PM Friday and Saturday and at 9PM Sunday through Thursday. 

Please note:  If it is raining, we have no choice but to turn off the lights and animations due to the chance that things can short out.  Please try to come back at another time when it is not raining.

This year we built a lot of new things that we are excited about.  If you'd like to see the behind-the-scenes construction, then feel free to check out the Halloween 2009 page for details.

We've been busy the past week. We built a new clown, installed the thunder & lightning effects that we built last year, continued working on the lighting, finished the digital servo mechanics inside the witch, recorded the witch's voice in our sound studio (okay, so we don't really have a sound studio) courtesty of our friend Monika (you should have been an actress!), built a moving spider, started decorating the witch shed, and more. Check out the new pictures we added to the Witch and the Setup pages.
