Grimmstone Cemetery really takes you out of your element and makes you believe that you are in a haunted cemetery. It does not rely on bigger Halloween event scare tactics like people jumping out or gory slasher characters. Grimmstone Cemetery is more of a spooky, eerie halloween. It embraces the mystery and ghostly like properties that Halloween has to offer.

With my 14 year background in special effects, props, miniatures and set building, really makes Grimmstone Cemetery stand out from your basic yard display. You really believe that you are caught in a lighting storm or that those ghosts are actually there. There are also some mechanical and lighting effects too.

Grimmstone Cemetery is one of my great loves and it does sadden me to see it closing after this year. If I had to pick a time that Grimmstone should close, it is only fitting that it is on its 20th year anniversary. I still remember the days that Grimmstone Cemetery (before it had the name Grimmstone Cemetery) was just a project that my friends and I started back in Jr High School. It was our big summer project. Of course we all moved on and I keep the tradition going.

I have been getting emails asking me "what are you going to be doing with all of Grimmstone Cemetery's stuff, i.e. props, equipment, etc." To let you know, I will not be getting rid of any of it or throwing any of it away. I have a place to store all of it. Grimmstone Cemetery will just be in hibernation for now. There have been jokes that I am going to be resurrecting Grimmstone Cemetery for a 21st year next year, but I can assure you that wont be happing, at least not for quite awhile. This is in fact the last year in my mind.
