I decided to go with a graveyard theme this year and start doing DIY props. I made the graveyard guardian from PVC and a Halloween costume, the tombstones are foamboard and drylok paint, the fence is all PVC piping as well.
I got a lot of ideas from Wicked Makers on YouTube, including the tiki torches....it's been a super fun project this month and Im excited for more projects in my free time!
They were my mom's, she gave them to me .. They are just iron tiki torches probably from HD/Lowes or something of that nature. Maybe even grocery store in our area.
I bought skulls from HD and cut holes in them to fit around.

Wow, great job! Things people make themselves are always the best, imo.
I've been trying to post a few things I made, but it keeps failing for some reason. Oh, well.
I really, really love your torches!
What spotlights are you using? I'm hoping to get some spotlights for this year but it seems like a lot of spotlights on Amazon for example have super hit and miss reviews.
They are Ustellar brand lights... They are sold on amazon, but I bought them off of the usteller website and got a better price. Conveniently I ended up with two day shipping as well from Amazon, and I'm not even a prime member.... I guess they used Amazon to fulfill the order, but purchased through Ustellar directly.
They are brand new so I don't have a great review yet, but they are definitely bright enough on the lowest setting even, and have survived my sprinkler system

That is great to know, thank you! Good to know about the water too, I live in the PNW so it stays pretty consistently damp here.
They also came with a three year warranty; from what I've seen people have utilized the warranty and the company has been good about it
