Silverwood Area of Fredericton South, NB, Canada Halloween, Dusk to 9:00 PM ADT

Welcome to 14iv

My time to make decorations, apply commercially made ones, and apply some magic on my front yard.

Drone Revelations

Ensuring the fog flows to the lower parts of the lawn required vents positioned properly (see the not so camouflaged ABS pipe)

Ghost Portal

2023 posed some challenges in presenting holographic ghosts. I had planned on a laminar flow bottom-up curtain of fog in 2024, however, work just got in the way. However, this year I will display three ghosts in a new portal area.

No Ice Ground Fog

Fog machines produce hot smoke and smoke floats away. To make fog hug the ground, one must "chill" it. My first (lawn) year I used vats of ice. No ice was harmed since 2023.

Pennywise has Moved

In 2024, the City overhauled the street and got rid of the storm drain in front of the graveyard. So I built my own and implemented effects directly into the apparatus. There's even a faint smell of popcorn!

The Swinger

A combination of commercial plastic skeleton, animatronic motor, and a custom swing we made of leftover lumber and rope. But for his bony hands, the rest of his body is not glued or zip-tied.
