Happy halloween everyone, hope its a good one!
And a very Happy Halloween to all of my friends here on the less sunny side of the street. May your children's pillow cases be full of candy, your fog lay low, and the air be filled with screams. I hope to see you all in chat later tonight to hear how it all goes. I'll be there late, lol, we're open late here like Wendys.

We wound up with about 40 kids which is 4 up from last year. I took down a lot of the stuff tonight just to avoid any more theft, plus I have some $$ to spend at the after sales tomorrow AM, so I'd like to run out and stock up before I tear down the rest.
Mikeq did make it to my house! It was really cool to meet you and very surprising when he came up to me and said "You must be Zombie-F". The look on my (greasepainted) face must have been priceless. :googly:

This was probably the best Halloween I've ever had!
Got around 50 trick or treaters, ran out of candy, and had to start giving out Capri Suns from a case I was given as a Halloween gift. :P The FCG was a huuuuge hit, even though I bought the wrong motor and ended up just tying it static to the garage, and I got a ton of compliments on the yard. There were kids coming down our street solely to see our house! One five-year-old saw the FCG last night, remembered where our house was, and dragged her mom to our house for ToT just to point it out to her.
I also met a fellow yard haunter who lives right down the street and, like me, thought he was the only one in our neighborhood who went all-out for the holiday. I, of course, pointed him towards this forum. :D Between the two of us, armed with a resource like this, we could get some wicked Halloween spirit going on in our neck of the woods.
I hope everyone else had just as great a time as me!

was a great night got lots of compliments on the yard had 84 kids up from 60 last year. Had a few people want to learn to build stuff. The witch stirring her cauldron was a huge success had a few people offer to buy her. But unfortunatly in my haste to get everything running in the rain i forgot to get my tripod for my camera back so no good night pics. Will post some of the others later.
Hope everyone had a good night.

well we had about 16 kids last night and when I woke up this morning a thought came to me... I'm gonna do a haunt next year... small one but never the less a haunt!
As usual, 0 TOTers. But, the Haunted Barn was a hit and everyone asked if we were going to do it next year!!! (100 kids) My friends are already groaning because I already have ideas for next year!!! Picture this, a "Hellevator" that goes up to the loft and when the doors open right before them will be my (sick) version of HELL!!! Hahahahaha!!!

We got 4 times as meany as last yr. Unfortunately, Last yr we got only 5 ;)
But what was realy nice was people telling me that word was going around
about my display. Maybe I'll have more visitors next yr.
I can hardly wait til start building again. My wife says after I finish the attic though :(
One thing a few people mentioned. Because of the way I had my haunt lit
It looked as if I was not accepting TOT's. If I turned on the front porch light it would ruin the display
Someone suggested that I post a sign at the end of the driveway saying "Trick or Treaters Welcome".
I'll have to do that for next yr.
I'll be posting picture & maybe a video soon. I hope.
Happy Halloween (A bit belated )

Or replace the front porch bulbs with a lower wattage. I used 25W amber bulbs in my front lights and it doesn't cast too much light. Just a suggestion. :D
