Well the local halloween outlet opened up yesterday, and hopefully I’ll be working there within a week. I figure if they can have a whole store full of stuff to sell, than I can start putting my stuff out. It IS early to put stuff out, but I live in a Christmas crazy neighborhood that has out the santas by Nov. 1st.

Okay guys, Baracco Boneyard wins it! I’m off to paint in the sign. Thanks to all who helped and played. I’ll update with some more pics as I go.

[HERE](http://picasaweb.google.com/adamjprawlocki/Random/photo#5239672004603510258) is the sign close up, and [HERE](http://picasaweb.google.com/adamjprawlocki/Random/photo#5239672034055211346) is the wall as of just now.

This will probably not be a majority choice, but if I was doing it, I’d probably name it something like “Tirisfal Glades” or “Lordaeron Cemetery” as a nod to the Undead starting area in _World of Warcraft_… which is probably just an indication of my own geekishness. It will, however, tickle any gamers that stop by.

Keep them coming! There are some good ones in there already.

Yeah. There’s five pictures in that Random photo category. Four of them are appropriately scary. The fifth one … is not a wall. It does look like a nice place to put a sign, though!

Hopefully I didn’t miss this one. How about Bones are us? Creepy to me anyway.

The Teamsters used to do a fantastic haunted house back in the 70’s. Scared everyone. Jeez they did a good job. Chainsaws and axes all over the place. Good times.

Darn, the things I miss when I’m away for the week. Oh well, might as well provide my ideas in case someone else likes 'em.

My first thought was **Sorrowvale**. Next was **Hell’s Half Acre**. For a multi-layered punnish name, **Coffin Fitt**. Finally, a name combined with “Flat” tends to sound good, so maybe **Dante’s Flats** or somesuch.

whatever the name is, have another sign tacked on at the end…
