Title: How to Halloween
Post by: Kaos on November 01, 2018, 12:23:21 AM
I'm "that guy" in the neighborhood.  On October 1, I start putting the Halloween display together.  I've got a projected ghost in the upstairs window, about two dozen lights (red, green, black, fire, etc.) illuminating headstones, floating ghosties, standing skeletons.  I usually have at least one skeleton on the roof. On Halloween night I run several fog machines, a lightning system that's synchronized to a huge speaker on my porch that plays a stream of about 50 horror movie themes (everything from Saw to Halloween to Exorcist to Walking Dead to yeah, everything.) Also have a random assortment of basic horror tracks.  Big Furry Head by Amon Tobin is a good one. 

Every year I choose some character and go big on creating it.  I've done Peter Criss, Robert Baratheon (Game of Thrones), Joker (before Heath Ledger's version), Two-Face, Slash and I don't know what all. Last year I did Jigsaw (the puppet).  This year it was Hellboy. 

Benefit?  Every hot mom in the neighborhood brings their kids and half of them want to have their picture taken with me.  There are some hot, hot moms in this neighborhood. I like seeing them.  I've done it long enough that kids from all over come to the house.  I probably had 500 kids come through tonight.  Fifteen of the giant bags of candy are gone. 

I had just about decided this was going to be my last year doing it big.  Kid in college, it's really just me and my friend/other.  But I was standing out in the yard and had at least a dozen parents tell me their kids beg them to drive by my house at night.  And the kids.  I heard one kid say he thinks about coming to my house all Halloween and can't wait to get there to see the monsters.  Oh well.  Maybe another year. 

So I did the outfit.  Went and had some drinks.  Was about to take it off and was reminded that we needed a few things from the store.  So I said, well let's give this a shot.  I'll just go to Wal Mart in costume and grab the things we need.  Just to see what would happen. 

I roamed the entire store in full Hellboy regalia.  Right hand of doom and all.  Nobody in the store batted an eye.  I asked one of the people working if they knew where the pancake mix was and she just told me the aisle without even a double take.  Asked another where the cat food was and same thing. 

When I checked out, the lady who rang it up did the whole thing, didn't acknowledge the outfit until the very end.  She gets to the last item and then says, "what, no deviled eggs?"  I thought that was good. 

But I wonder what it says about Wal Mart that nobody even noticed Hellboy wandering the aisles?

We had ONE....count em'...ONE trick or treater.  And that was a neighbor bringing their 14 month old grandchild down to show off.  We have 3-4 neighborhoods here that basically dominate Halloween.  They have police directing traffic into them.  The place I workout is in a strip mall right by a Publix.  One of the neighborhoods is across the street...and super busy 4-lane road.  I had a 5:15 class and at 6:30, it took me 20 minutes just to get out of the parking lot. 

But overall, it's pretty cool because everyone really gets into it.

If anybody had even noticed I'd think the same.  But nobody did.  Just went about their business as if the son of satan walked around looking for pancakes on a regular basis.

I hate it for you that you were late to your pilates class.

It WASN'T a pilates class!  Not specifically.  Okay, yes, there were some pilates involved.  More yoga than pilates but you really get the same stretch.  Me and some of the girls were talking about it afterwards over mocha frappucinos.  I wound up losing track of time because we got into the funniest discussion about themed Christmas trees. 

But it wasn't a pilates class.

Wish I had snags issue. I bought 700 pieces of candy. Gone in about 75 mins.

15 bags.  Average of 220 pieces a bag.  And I had little toys and rice krispies treats and ring pops mixed in.  

That stuff is gone. 

I think some of the kids may have come through more than once.  That one little fart who was kicking headstones over did for sure.

I started by letting them pick their own piece. Until the little shits started grabbing handfuls and sticking their tongues out at me. Then I took control of the bucket - 1 piece per kid. And I pick which one you get. Don’t like it? Go somewhere else. Brats.

We only had about a hundred kids last night.  We have had as many as 300 in years past.  I blame Trump and the failing economy

It's probably because the kids could feel the white privilege coming from your house and chose to avoid it as part of the youth movement's blue wave.
