Luke was a skeleton pirate, Shera was a witch, Noel was Little Bo Peep, Holly was a vampire slayer, and Drew was a ghoul. Holly's friend, Robin Cornish, joined us as Mother Earth, and Andrea and Lucus came too as a cowboy!
We went trick or treating down the street and stopped at our favorite house, the O'Bryants.
Noel's friends, Carissa and Aubry joined her later to go trick or treating too.
We had the haunted house all set up before we left at 6:30 and there was already a line forming out on the driveway!
Lots of friends and neighborhood kids came. We probably had close to four hundred people go through it! The line went down the driveway to the sidewalk and we finally closed it up at about 11pm. Jeff and Drew worked on putting it together for about two months of Saturdays and a few evenings too.
My mom and Jeff manned the video screen and animatronics while Shera, Luke and I kept the line under control and let people into the haunted house. Drew worked the inside - scaring people while they were in it! It went really smoothly. The only complaint was how long the line was. We heard the wait was an hour at one point. But, hey, it was free and the kids loved it. I only felt sorry for the parents that would wait with the kids and then chicken out! I have to say, it was a real scary and gory haunted house though - not for the young ones.Happy Halloween!
