Well, another Halloween, come and gone. We didn't set up this year until the Thursday before Halloween, which is the latest I've ever set up. I did my usual working on things right up until the ToTs arrived. Unfortunately, my video camera is not working now, for some reason the part that holds the tape won't retract back into the camera with a tape in it, so I didn't get the video I wanted to get of scares at the front walk way. I guess it doesn't matter anyway since we only got about 30 kids or so, plus parents. That's a big drop, and reminds me of the first few years of doing this. It's frustrating, but then again, it was a Monday night and it did rain that day. Several people asked why we didn't do the inside walking tour of the house and they missed it. It made me feel good to see repeat people from years past that always bring friends just to see what I've done. I did get a couple of good scares with the help of the fogger and perfect timing of it rolling across me to conceal me until I moved. I love that part. My partner in crime this year was Ivy, who is a good candy controller. She even made sure I had my chocolate intake in-between victims. Didn't take a ton of pics since most of it is the same as last year anyway. There's two new props, one a full pumpkin monster and one just a JoL that I made from papier mache. I see lots of those next year in the display as we change it up, though after 17 years, I don't know if we will be living in this neighborhood or even in a house with a yard next year. :( Oh well, all in all, this was a decent Halloween and I am back in the spirit of creating, which I really desperately need to keep me sane. I hope everyone else had a wonderful Halloween.
New page with photos of the yard are here:
Until next time....... Haunt on!!!
