Yeh so one year I had this mock dressed-up Jack-o-lantern guy sitting in a rocking chair, holding a basket of candy with a sign that told the kids to reach and grab a handful. There were small toys and candy in the basket. It went over so well that the following year I dressed up and sat in the chair with pumpkins all around.
I had on some old clothes and boots and wore a straw hat that hung low enough to hide my face. A similar sign was posted but that year it was a box of small toys and candy. As the kids and their escorts eased up the dark driveway led by glowing lights and pumpkins they hesitantly reached into the box to grab their treats. Little did they know the box grabbed back!!
Ahahahaaaaa I had made a hole in the underside of the box and slipped my hand inside. When they would reach in the box I would grab them...
OMG the screams from both the kids and their escorts sounded throughout the neighborhood!! It was awesome!! But to coax them back for their actual treat was a bit of a challenge...
Holy crap it was so much fun!! Good times!! Good times!!
