Halloween Night

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!
