Favorite Night of the Year - Halloween

Last night was a fright! We had an estimated 250 kids this year. It has been growing each year and it may be in response to our 'display' that we put on. There were adults who came to see our show even without their kids. The kids were ready to go 'treating'.





We were ready for 'tricking'.









We scared quite a few people but they enjoyed it even if they didn't say so. Clyde and I were the live actors for our display and we had quite a few people who didn't realize at first that we were 'real' people and not just props. We had our picture taken about 100 times during the night. We even had parents put there kids next to either Clyde or I when we were lying in the coffin to have their picture taken.




Even the kids wanted to have their picture taken in the grave.







The new addition of the trash can skeleton was a big hit. Clyde built this from plans we found online. Can you spot the theme of the skeleton? (Hint: metal trash can plus the hat).



The kids had a blast and we all enjoyed treats following our haunting. The best was the brain that was ready for devouring.



Hope everyone had a great Halloween. Remember, there is only 363 days left until Halloween 2010 so it is time to start preparing!
