Be easy to accomplish if you use a skyhook.

I use a 8-16 oz lead fishing weight tied to paracord. Twirl the weight in a vertical circle, "counter clockwise", and let it fly.

The only branch that would work for what I want to do is about 45ft up.

I’ve done the following to secure steel cables high up in a few oak trees. First, I used a spinning rod to cast a bullet weight over a high limb. The monofilament line was then used to draw a ski rope back over the high limb. The ski rope was then used to pull the cable over the limb.
In your case, I’d use the light monofilament to pull a heavier test monofilament over a limb. I would then tie the fishing line to the end of the heavy rope that supports your display. The rope could be pulled up to but NOT over the limb. The heavy fishing line should be strong enough to support your Halloween item. Wrap the excess line around the tree to hide it. If your display weighs enough the fishing line will be slippery enough to allow you to lower your masterpiece back to the ground and recover your fishing line. YMMV Smile

Oh, I like it! That's some ingenuity and clever thinking right there.

The consensus is some sort of weight on a light line which will pull up a heavier line.

If you haven't done this before, be careful. Too much line or not enough and that weight can come right back at you. Practice as best you can.

the fellers here use a weight and toss it up , some use a wrist rocket with a weight and mono tied to it, then they pull up a heavier line up and over
