Fabulous Halloween house

soniaminoanmiss had the idea of sending postcards praising people's Halloween decor.I immediately thought of nearby Crestfallen Manor. Posting my comments here in case more people are interested. They're at NE 17th & Beech, in case you're local. Highly recommended!
Starting in early October, they put up fake wrought-iron fencing and a lot of joke headstones ("I told you I was sick!" "Les Moore, no Les, no more") plus last year they added lovely ones for RBG and John Lewis. This year they added battery-powered lanterns by some of the stones. There's a mechanical skeleton stirring a cauldron. A large coffin where the lid periodically bangs and a voice says, "Let me out! I'm not dead!" They go ALL OUT is what I'm saying. They also have a haunted house that I went through one year on Halloween night.
I found a 2018 video tour https://vimeo.com/296573915 on what is apparently the maker's website: https://thinktankblog.org/adventures They add stuff every year, so the (life size!) skeleton stirring a cauldron isn't shown, but you do see both of the headstones I mentioned.
