Halloween 2008 - Tarzan and the Lost Tribe of the Amazons

Halloween 2008 – Tarzan and the Lost Tribe of the Amazons

The Invitation

The Design

Construction The Stage/ Main Temple (including the tree!)

Note: Construction took three months. The main stage (The Temple of the Gods) was 32’ long, 16’ deep and 16 high. The Pyramid of the Moon rose to 24 feet above the drive (16’ above the garage roof). The design was inspired by the Ennis House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and the Mayan Temple of the Governor in Mexico.
