And WHY NOT! Its All Saint's Day tomorrow, and tonight, all the little ghosties and ghoulies were out trying to scare the homeowners our of their candy! Brenda and I went over to Shayne's place, where he "does" Halloween in a big way....his front yard is decorated in skulls (some 27 of them by my count) including a complete cage with the skeleton of a dead pirate in it, dangling over the front sidewalk! He dressed up in his head to toe Gorilla suit, and fired up his light saber every time a kid didn't say "thank you". Tried to keep from scaring the VERY young though. They scare easy, and this was supposed to be a fun little "OMG" sort of shock, not a "bwaaaaaaa....daddddddddeeeeeeeyyyyyy" kind of fright. So we were careful.
Lots of parents with their kids. Good to see. I would just be a piece of the decoration, standing there in my mask and cloak, and the parents were too busy watching their kids getting scared to realize I was right behind them. sometimes people would jump when they realized I was actually alive! I thought it would be kind of fun to tap on their shoulder, and when they turned around, they would see Shaynes' voodoo "skull on a stick". That got some shreiks from the parents!
Yup, that was a success.
Shayne and Cindy took some pics and I'll try to put them up here when they have got around to downloading them and sending them to me.

We had a great time trick-or-treating, too. It’s so much fun to live in a neighborhood full of kids. My daughter was Vampira and her best friend was Harry Potter. This year someone dressed as the grim reaper actually went riding a horse down our street! The horse was all decked out in armor - you would have approved. So much fun.
It looks like you had way too much fun. We went downtown trick-or-treating where all the stores give out candy and in the town square they have free booths with candy prizes. My two knights in shining armor had a blast.
