There's a house at the end of the cul-de-sac that would win the gold medal for Halloween decorating. Their yard, on both sides, is full of huge inflatables, zombies, lights, inflatable pumpkins, carriages, skeletons, spiders, a smoke machine, sound effects, spider webs, you name it. I've taken photos, and a short video of a moving zombie holding a doll upside-down.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-91628566565111055822017-10-29T13:18:13.274-04:002017-10-29T13:18:13.274-04:00The skeleton decorations look fun.

Lots of low slow bass-y sounds and some songs sung by David Bowie... what's not to love? <br /><br />For the first time, I sent a submission in to the IWSG contest. No matter what, it was FUN to write, so thanks for the impetus. <br /><br />No Halloween decorations for us anymore. I used to go all out, but the decor was always more on the side of whimsy than it was scary.
