Some five months later, I've finally finished our 2011 daytime video. I hope to have some nighttime footage soon. My neighbor shot the footage for us, and my daughter edited the music (Music Box from Nox Arcana). This is my first attempt at video editing, so I hope it doesn't look too terrible...
I just spotted what is now one of my newest favorite props - that greenish creature bobbing in the well.
You have such a unique haunt with a wonderful assembly of slightly twisted but recognizable characters. If you lived on our street, I'd probably spend more time looking at things in your yard on Halloween than staying in ours to hand out candy

Roxy, the guy in the well was all my 8 year old son's idea. He made up this story about this grouchy old man who used to yell at all the kids, so they pushed him down the well. He mutated into this swampy well creature who feeds on kids' wishes. H jumped out the well and scared Jack and Jill down the hill. He even had the idea of embedding coins in his skin. He designed it, helped carve it, painted it, made the eyeball, and glued the coins in. It was a very proud mama moment!
