Halloween House Setup






I thought I'd share the setup at my front door. It was unanimous amongst trick-or-treaters that ours was the best in the neighborhood. I had scary music playing with creaking doors and children singing and a vampire howling. Wickedly cool! I had Modi the mannequin in the window on the right with a flashing light on him and his red eyes lit up. On the left window right beside the doorway I had the doll set up. The kids were freaking. I could hear them out there. Some were studying it for a long time before they'd remember to put their candy sacks out for me to fill. Some were arguing about approaching the doorway. It was hilarious! I did gigantic spider webs and spiders all around the door area and a cemetery with lightning along the pathway up. All in all, I had as much fun as they did!

Oh the aching cleanup from the party and Halloween!
