Halloween night was a huge success!
Especially with our new addition,
the werewolf from Homedepot.
We called him Beauregard.
He howled and growled, his eyes glowed green
and his head swung from side to side as
his jaw opened and closed. He was a real
crowd pleaser and posed for many pictures.
Our witch Hazel is voice activated
just not very sensitive.
she only startled the louder trick or treaters.
Her head and arms move from side to side
and her mouth opens as she speaks,
inviting kids to have some of her homemade candy,
and her eyes glow red.
Our host Dracula is static with no special effects but has
been captured in many photos and is quite popular.
He's been around the longest
found at Sam's Club on clearance eight or nine years ago.
I've overheard kids call our house "The Dracula House"
I repainted his face because I hated the thick black
airbrushed lines he had from the manufacturer.
The crowds started off slow and lite
between 6:00 & 6:30
However after that, they started to come in waves .
Our Dutch door amazed the kids
and many parents too!
Something they've never seen before.
Our candy reserves started to dwindle around 8:15
I had to make an emergency run to our local
Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market for more
fun size chocolate bars
as Sam continued handing out candy.
By about 8:36 we had 570 trick or treaters
I took over for a while.
This year Vegas had imposed a curfew that 9:00
was the cutoff for trick or treating.
And by 9:05 we handed out candy
to our 615th and last treater.
It truly was a wild, woolly and fun night!
Thanks for stopping by and
Happy Haunting!
