The greeters…

Every year our country neighbors do the most amazing, hilarious, shocking Halloween decorations ever, and I swear, every year I think, how can they possible do anything new, they’ve done everything, but they always pull it off, proving that I have a stunning lack of imagination for a fantasy novelist, I mean, for gods sake, [...]
Last Halloween, I posted about our marvelous neighbors (‘neighbor’ in rural-speak can be anyone within a 10 mile radius) who go nuts with their spooky decorations each year. Have I mentioned how much I love these sick and demented people?
This year’s theme was Toxic Waste.
We begin our tour [...]
I’ve posted before about our crazy-down-the-road neighbors who dude up their house for Halloween every year like nobody’s business. This year is no exception! 2009′s theme is Zombies, particularly Decapitated Zombies who are Carrying Their Own Heads, and, oddly, these are a special subset who have their brains resting right on [...]
There is a bridge nearby, an old one-lane bridge, where they do all these festivals and celebrations throughout the year. For Halloween, it is an amazing tunnel of jack-o-lanterns.
This picture gives an idea of it…
Spooky! Cool! The black space there is just JAMMED with people [...]
Yesterday I showed you our neighbor’s Halloween creations from last year. Today we have the promised pics of THIS year’s spooky masterpieces…
First, the big picture.
Here are some of the floating ghost people. Poor suffering things.
And a little social commentary:
Can you see the giant spiders eating that person who [...]
Our neighbors down the street go crazy for Halloween. It’s fantastic. These pictures are from LAST year’s extravaganza. I’ll post some pics of this year’s, completely different, spooky display tomorrow.
Yes, this is all in their front yard!
These are from the ‘book club’. The yellow book is “How to be [...]
