Halloween Fun

Neighborhood Displays

I'm enjoying some interesting Halloween decorations near my home. Sizes are often amazing. For example, look at this enormous Jack Skellington figure I frequently pass on bike rides. It's almost as tall as the two story house behind!

 

Another giant display is a huge inflatable black cat. Once again, houses nearby give a sense of scale.

The cat's spine is lit at night!

This giant scarecrow's hat reaches second story windows.

A really nice multi-spook display includes another scarecrow holding his grim reaper scythe. The werewolf is particularly cool, and the flying witch is suspended in mid air. (Click on images for a larger view.)

At night werewolf eyes glow eerily, but true color doesn't show well in the following nighttime photo.

Finally, my favorite display is the skeleton picnic erected by my son-in-law. Their card game is accompanied by a pizza box!

The picnic is colorful at night, although the photo below doesn't capture true color.

Halloween decorations these days are much more elaborate and amusing than any in my childhood memory.

People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that I'm o.k. well they look at me kind of strange
Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game

People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
