The gang can't wait for their newest copy of Haunted Attraction Magazine!

A black plastic tunnel leads to the candy past a wide array of K-mart and Wal-Mart props - evil things invented by the battery companies I'm sure.  We filled it with black lights and fluorescent yard and art on the plastic - Mother Nature tried to blow it down all day, but we finally got it up to stay by TOT.

The spider claims its first victim.

Grandpa Lives Again! 

New Monster Mud goon that is currently residing in my back yard!

K-Mart skeletons as walk guardians.

The Trashcan Trauma just before the Old Witch's Lair.  Yes I got my Mother-in-Law (who arrived late!!!!!) into this hat as the Old Witch.  On the wall you can see the masks of her victims and in front is a box I made out of Great Stuff foam insulation and cheap spray paint as a touchy-feely box for Cub Scouts - it was recycled into a candy bowl bowl at the Witch's Lair.

Flaming cauldron in action.

My archway destroyed by the wind!

  Scatman Corpse at dinner.    

The backyard where our tombstones were thrown about by the wind.  We had to prop them up against the fence - still looked cool.  Above you can see two strange children that hung around by the bottomless pit - Spongebob was supposed to be with The Old Witch and cry out for help, but our Witch was LATE and he reverted to an old Scream costume instead.  The zombie bride gave the TOTers candy at the table too.

Yes, one kid looked down the bottomless pit and said, "Uh, I don't get it."  Our neighbors got into the spirit by jumping out and scaring the crap out of many a small child at their hay bales.  We wrapped them around from our yard to theirs and provided props.  I think we handed out about $50 worth of candy - chocolate to the kids, Smartees to the idiot teenagers that came dressed as ... uh ... well, teenagers.

Here's one in progress.

they kinda have 

an Evil Dead thing going on.

Our cat gets a new buddy.

All fleshed out and some place to go.

Juicy ain't he?
