Early Halloween 2015 set up

Recommended Posts

Figured I'd start a little early this year. This is about half done. We do the yard up every year, then after kids are done trick

 

or treating, we give out candy and scare the kids and parents ourselves. We were all zombies the last 2 years so we fit right

 

in with the decorations. I'm trying to finish a handmade old 1800's style pine casket so I can lay in it this year.

Steve,

 

I dress up every year with my kids and even before they were born.

 

I stopped when I was 12, then started again when I was 19, and have been doing it every year since. I've been in the Halloween Parade in New York and

 

on a float with the Squirrel Nut Zippers. I've enjoyed it and we used to have very large parties before I got married and started having kids.

 

Here's a few of the older stuff.

Used to love the hiuses like yiurs when I was a kid. They made a haunted mansion every year, ut was quite something, at least for an 8 year old.

 

There is a town about 25 minutes from me here in NJ that has a 6 block area that does all their homes up every year.It's closed off for about 2 weeks after 6 PM in the evening so people can come and look at their homes,haunted houses, and zombie walks. The police get involved with making sure everyone behaves. The people doing it have been doing it for about 30-35 years and it started out as 1 house.

The extent of Halloween décor at our house is low due to the fact...I'd much rather invest the time in cleaning (this was why one of my former bosses used to say "I think you're part girl").

Anyway, I had a photoshoot tonight with a few demons and a pumpkin though...

That's funny, because when I was younger people used to make fun of me when I threw parties, they said when you came to the door I gave everyone a roll of paper towels and Windex and said have fun.
