Mood Board x2

Ok ok I may be a tad bit going overboard with this but I can't help it I really do like doing these things. This is for my second idea which I am starting to kind of lean toward. It's more a halloween traditional, pretty cliche feel. The usual spooky hilled grave yard scenario with jack-o-lanterns, flying ghosties, a witch in flying above in front of a full moon with a possible haunted house somewhere located on one of the hills. My big main thing is that I want to have the gate (like in the picture below) to have October either written inside like the gate in the mood board, or possibly have the letters on top of the gate. I chose to go with the Mona Lisa Solid ITC TT font for reasons being it looks to be able to fit the part of what I want, as well as I am trying to find different fonts to fit. I figure for a gate I want a very thin but also old looking(?) font to go with the gate's style and make. 

I also want to use Times if I can and it isn't too overwhelming since the piece may have a lot of contributing factors in it for the graves. I did a little "digging up" (ha ha, funny) and tried to see if we had any fonts that were actually used for gravestones back in the day. Also in terms of texture I don't think there will be too much if I am able to do that- just some grittyness for the graveyards but maybe also some rusty spots on the gate. Granted this is only if I decide to actually make it pretty detailed. I have started to enjoy making simplistic ideas mostly based on shapes and just the plain color. I think the color palette will work fine since it's mostly dark colors and I can probably use the range to my advantage.
