"Halloweens Past"

♪♫ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ♪♫

I can’t wait for that one Halloween day when I get asked “Daddy are going to dress up too” and then I’ll  have to dress up and go trick or treating with my daughter, I’m going to hate it…….YEAH RIGHT! As I write this I am thinking of all the cool things I can be and what costumes I wore as a kid back in the day. I can only think of a few, I went as The Crow one year in my teens and……….umm……wow… my trick or treating sucked I guess, well I do for some reason remember dressing up as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. Yeah that’s me as Leo and my cousin Robert as Raph and one thing that I remember is that those costumes were only meant to be worn once and only once because by the end of the night they were barely hanging on by whatever plastic it was made of or had fallen off and stuffed in your candy bag if it fit with all that awesome candy you had, I mean the dang candy bags were made better than the costume itself.

But Halloween was always fun in our family wither you dressed up or not because everyone got into the spirit like my dad, he would just sit there at the end of the drive way and scare kids with just a mask on…now that’s talent.

 

 Even my grandma would sometimes join in on the fun.

 That’s my sis and her son Chucks eating the candy for other kids……I taught him well.

A film I have to talk about every Halloween season. This movie is based on a short story by Stephen King. Starring John Cusack and Samuel L Jackson. Cusack plays a writer who spends the night and then reviews supposedly haunted hotels and has him staying in various places, until his stay at The Dolphin Hotel...

I get lost in the movie so much that it feels like I'm there, very few movies that I've watched have this effect on me and when they do it's a good thing.

Whats your favorite scary movie?

Sweet Dreams

Well this is the final setup, oh and last night I also modified the skull to open and close its jaw electronically

we also had a little helper out there with us little Miss Emma, well more like telling us what to do....

and we ended the evening with a nice little BBQ in the park. 

Oh and Sweet Screams Dreams

 HA HA HA HA !!!!

Fun with no space....

Well we will attempt to put this fun stuff up this weekend, we have a lot of decorations and not enough space on an apartment balcony for it all and I think a 5ft inflatable pumpkin would be overkill in such a small place. My favorite decoration is the one that we made from scratch it even has bright LED's installed in its eye sockets. The best part is that we paid less than $20 for the material to make it compared to $45-$50 decorations at a store.
 I will Post it set up and in action, there is also a cauldron that we put water with dry ice to make a neat effect also with LED's. Oh and some lights...blah blah blah check back tomorrow for an update on the set up...

The First Day

Happy 1st day of October and the start of a fun filled month of Halloween themed goodies.
I will start of by saying that if you read my blog last year I tried to post everyday of the month, made it more than half way and failed. So this year instead of pulling out my hair because I didn't post anything in a day I will be posting a few times a week and maybe twice a day if there is something that I have to share. Also this year my wife and I were blessed with a beautiful baby girl so that also means that majority of my attention will go to her because she is awesome :)

Well let’s start the fun, the background in the my blog has six "Horror Movie Houses" you can scroll up and down to see them, there is only six of them and the picture is repeated so that you can see them all (hopefully). This if for fun, so try to name all the houses that are pictured in any order and name the ones you can.

Have Fun!

Thanks for reading
