Well there's 2 days left - there's still pumpkins to slaughter and props to repair, (thanks to the high winds and non-stop rain for the last week and a half) that's par for the coarse. Our party went much better than I expected, even with the extra people who tagged along with the guests. The smaller children had to be convinced into entering my house of horrors, that in itself makes all my hard work worth it.
Once everyone was here I dragged them all to the other end of the community to the "Haunted Hayride" our community teen center puts on - it was great last year and I was hoping this year would be just as good due to all the bragging I'd done.
We waited roughly 15 minutes on line loaded onto the hay wagon and off we went. A few minutes down the road we started to hear firecrackers and "clopping" noises to everyones shock the hay wagon was surrounded by "Zombie Cowboys" on horse back! The wagon paused just within sight of the barn the zombies messed with the "screamers" and begged for zombie chow. They added more outside actors playing on a " Wrong Turn" & " Texas Chain saw" Theme, some teenagers where caged in the stray pen cannibalizing a corpse. A group of girls were dressed as the 3 sirens and their minions. Inside they added 3 new scenes, the hanging man, the deli, and the ringu T.V. scene. Sorry no photos - I'm trying to convince the director to allow me to post some photos - I'm not holding my breath though, I asked last year too.
So, of the 26 guests I dragged down there 9 chickened out and the rest of us had a blast! Back at my house the "stay behinds" had the whole nieghborhood light up with my lights and loud halloween music [ the one I said with the creepy noises], thank god all my neighbors were at my house or they would of complained! I was delighted that everyone was talking about coming to next years party before the end of the night, I'll need some ideas from you guys for next year,lol.
Hope everyone has a Happy & Safe HALLOWEEN!
Best Witches!
