Happy Halloween! So, anyone decorate their house/yard? My wife and I did.
We're adding two sets of bouncy balls with glow sticks pushed through the middle as 'eyes' that will look out at people walking by.
Decorations, they aren't just for Christmas anymore!

I love the "BEWARE OF THE..." sign... just makes the whole thing creepy.
Now, what exactly is that on the ground?

One of those animated deer they sell at christmas time (picked up last year at Target's "everything related to Christmas has to go" sale for like $5) and a set of net lights :)

I thought it was funny at first, but the more I see it the funnier it gets. I mean, really, you have to be sick and twisted to think of doing that... I should have thought of it first.

The kids begging for candy liked it, most of the dads like it even better.
I wonder if I can leave it up for Christmas, or at least deer season!

So it's a dead, bleeding deer? What's funny about that? Is it Bambi's mother?

That one is good. I love it. :D:
I do up my yard with all my tombstones (all 75 or so, hand made from housing insulation foam and handpainted) I have a bunch of ones celebrating the HM. This year I added three huge 6 foot wide spiders. I had tons of lights strung down the whole walkway (my courtyard is dark and set back in) I put a signboard up on the front of the walk saying "more candy >> follow the pumpkins"
I was really pleased that all 35 treat bags of candy went. Yeah I know some kids took more then one (it was cheap candy) But the ppl up front said they got tons of kids and they were all going back to my place. The last bag went about 1.5 hours in so I think most of the kids were honest. We were out TOT ourselves so it was on the honor system. Neighbors told me last year that they have never got any kids in almost 30 years living there. Ya just gotta know how to advertise. LOL
I had a strobe on one of the spiders and Charlie our resident "skeleton in the closet" hanging out on the chair with his Halloween coffee cup in his hand. Next year I would love to do a haunted house of sorts with the neighbors.
I will post some pics as soon as I get them downloaded.

Well Bambi did make the top 25 Horror movie list so it is fitting for Halloween. :D:
