Sarah Palin will eat you!

Since tomorrow is Election Day, I felt this was appropriate... Here's another Halloween display from my town. This guy puts up the same giant spiderweb each year, but he changes the arachnid's identity (and the assorted tombstones). This year, the spider is Sarah Palin, complete with Palin-esque glasses and hair, a hockey stick jutting through her 'do, and "Joe Sixpack" in her mouth. God bless America!

"Scariest" display in my town

Here's the house in my town that won the award for
"scariest display". They do a really nice job each year.

More yard haunt shots

Here are two more shots of my display.

"Oh these are the people in your neighborhood..."

It really seems like decorating for Halloween has become much more popular over the past few years. When I first started, there were only a handful of like minded yard haunters in my town. Today, that number has skyrocketed and a record number of homes are creating displays. Here's a nearby display that I've enjoyed. I believe they won the local "Most Dramatic" or "Most Creative" display award last year.

Pumpkinrot 2008

Pumpkinrot has started posting his Halloween 2008 photos online. This first "teaser" shot is gorgeous! I can't wait to see some more. He promises many more shots will be uploaded over the next couple of weeks, so be sure to check in on his blog regularly.

Only 364 days to go!

Halloween was a tremendous success! We won our town's contest for "Most Dramatic" display and as a result saw a boost in the number of trick-or-treaters making their way to our door. I estimate that we served over 500 kids! A good time was had by all. (With the possible exception of the children who left our yard in tears after the "animatronic" zombie lunged at them, or the Frankenstein monster suddenly started to violently shake.)
