Halloween is one of my dad's favorite days of the year. He has slowly made Halloween at our house a bigger and bigger event.
He started slowly, with some creepy music and flickering candles in the windows. The next year we got a fog machine and spider webs (fake, of course). Next was the strobe light, and that was followed by a large wizard mask.
The mask is extremely realistic in appearance and when my dad puts it on with a large black gown, no one can tell. Now imagine pointing a strobe light at something that already looks real. He would stand there, and when a kid would come up to him he would wait until they reached out to touch him, and then he would move ever so slightly. This created a slight scare for the kids and lots of humor for the rest of us.
With the ever expanding all hallows eve, our yard will be full this year. There will be a little kids haunted house on one side of the yard and a bigger kids haunted house on the right side. We are always nice to the real little kids so they can have fun and feel brave too. We referred to them
this year as the scary and the non-scary versions.
Here is the Photo Tour of the "scary" version
Harry the headless guy
We call this one Missy, she crawls back and forth on that board while screaming.
Toxic waste guy would pop up and down out of his can.
And of course Jason, who is six feet tall and has extremely realistic eyes. This is a quick video of Jason, sorry for it being sideways...
