Toxic Waste layout for a Deep Narrow

Photorealistic evening photograph of a two-story colonial house on a deep narrow, 42 ft of street frontage with a 55 ft front setback, photographed from the sidewalk at the front lot line looking straight up the long walk toward the house, showing the full depth of the yard, camera height 5.5 ft. The yard is decorated in a toxic waste theme. Something leaked. Drums on their side with green light coming out of the split, tape across the walk, and whatever came out of them still moving. The one theme that scares people without a single ghost in it. Decorations, in position: 1. The star: three battered yellow drums on a lawn at night, two standing at different angles and one on its side, each banded with two dark hoops, green light spilling from a split in one of them and pooling on the grass, 2.5 ft tall. Set them down at different angles, not squared up to the house. Nothing about a spill is tidy, and three drums lined up parallel to the kerb reads as a delivery rather than an accident. Turn the split drum so the glow faces the sidewalk, and run barrier tape from the drums out to a stake so they read as a cordon rather than as three objects. 2. Sidekick, left: yellow and black barrier tape wound round a porch post and strung across the steps at an angle, 0.2 ft tall. Two rolls in the box and they are different, red DO NOT ENTER and black CAUTION. Use both and mix them: two authorities having been here reads as a real incident, one tape reads as a party. Wind it round a post, run it between two stakes at an angle across the lawn, and take one line diagonally across the walk at about waist height where people will duck under it. Sagging is right. Tape pulled taut looks like a fence; tape that droops looks like it was put up in a hurry. There are 300 spare feet in the box, so be generous. 3. Sidekick, right: torn gray gauze hanging in uneven lengths from a gutter line, moving in the wind, 2.5 ft tall. Hang it in long vertical strips rather than swagging it: this is meant to look like sheeting that was hung to contain something and then left, not like bunting. Four pieces at 6 ft each, so it will do a fence run or a porch opening but not both. Cloth is a sail, so tie the bottom corners to something or it wraps itself round whatever is upwind by the second night. 4. The approach lights: 2 of them, a line of short stakes throwing sickly green light up the edges of a path, the color of something radioactive rather than something growing, 1.3 ft tall. Both sides of the walk for the last 36 ft up to the door. You do not need to light the whole 55 ft. Starting the run partway up pulls the eye toward the house instead of stopping it at the sidewalk. 5. Roofline and porch: 2 of them, a dense run of small orange bulbs following a roofline, warm and slightly sickly rather than festive, 0.2 ft tall. Gutter line and porch. Use the biggest bulb you are willing to buy. At this distance small twinkle lights turn into a faint smudge. Shot at dusk with the sky still faintly blue, every lit decoration switched on and brighter than anything else in the frame, warm light spilling onto the lawn. Palette: #8CC63F, #E8C51A, #26261F, #7A4A32. Nothing floats; every piece sits on the ground at the stated distance. Scale reference: the front door is 80 inches tall.
