Halloween is almost upon Us ...

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!!

For the past few years, I've taken some white fabric and stripped it into 2inch strips. Then a made a huge spider web across the front of the house. Using fishing line from the garden to the columns at the front door. Rigged up a black light, ( and the black lights get better each year, lol).
I watch the cars go by and slow down at night. I'm now known not only for the cement creek bed skate ramp in the back yard, but also as the spider web house! Lol

Autumn is my favorite time of year, and halloween is my favorite holiday! This year my roommate is having a pumpkin carving party (this weekend! yikes!) and asked if i would make toasted pumpkin seeds and cook fall-themed foods. I've been making apple crisp every weekend (we went apple picking, so i have lots of fruit to use) and have already frozen a bunch of homemade applesauce for later in the season.

I also am known for setting up haunted house trips. I set up 1 to 2 trips every weekend through the whole month of October where I get groups of people together and go to a haunted attraction. This past weekend we did Bates Motel, which is a haunted house, haunted hayride, and haunted corn maze. My favorite, though, is the old asylum.

My costume this year is going to be awesome, as soon as I can find the fabric to make the last part! I'm doing a victorian/steampunk crossover female version of the penguin from the 1950s batman. Purple top hat with veil, black lace parasol, corset, blouse, purple gloves, monocle, cigarette holder, black can-can thigh highs and a purple and black striped bustle skirt with little heeled boots. I am ecstatic over it, since I've been planning it for a while now but never got all the parts together before.

Two years ago I was a film noir poison ivy, which was ALSO tons of fun!

Damn!! The haunted trips sound wicked fun and the pumpkin carving themed night as well... remember there's always cider to be made "spiked." Your costume sounds awesome... I see you put a lot of thought into it. Have fun!!

ScandalAndy · 10-09-2012, 07:15 AM

I'm so looking forward to it! For the last haunted house we took a half gallon of cider and put 1/2 a bottle of spiced rum into it. SO DELICIOUS~!
