Until Next October - Happy Halloween

To the many people that have dropped by and made this year another fun event, Happy Halloween!

What Transformations Are Ahead?

Humm . . . What is in store for next Halloween?

Trick Or Treat Window

Thunder claps in the background, lightening flashes all around, mist rises in the cemetery, ghouls groan and growl, skeletons pop up, a dead man swings, busts sing a ghostly song, a baby screams, a fortune teller speaks, ghosts float overhead and all the while scenes play on the large window above the front door to complete the Halloween sensory overload. Wide-eyed trick-or-treaters take a piece of candy and wander off in a daze. Success!

Come On In And Rest A While

The front lawn becomes a graveyard for the Halloween weekend. It looks benign in the daytime, but when the sun goes down it suddenly comes alive with ghoulish activity. Trick-or-treaters, young and old, big and small swarm in one after another to the see the ghouls and ghosts.

Have a Question? Ask The Crystal Ball

Dr. Shiver is waiting to reveal all your secrets.

Bought this talking crystal ball at a Ross store several years ago on closeout. It ended up to be a great addition to the Halloween fun.

Bola De Cristal

The animated crystal ball by Gemmy Industries has Dr. Shivers repeating sentences when the microphone is spoken into. This audio-visual gadget adds fun to the Halloween experience, especially when it calls someone by their name or mentions there specific costume. Startled trick-or-treaters cannot discern from where they are being watched which is a clever, nearby spot we will not reveal in this blog.

A Grinning Face, So Inviting

Step right up!

This giant clown stands by the front door looking so cheerful. Trick-or-treaters beware!

Clown Gone Bad

While trick-or-treaters are concentrating on what goodies to choose, this bigger-than-life clown lights up, screams and menacingly drops down to startle them. Here is a view from the front and the side.

Waiting Zombie Ready To Break Ground

Zombie looking for his next victim.

This ghastly Halloween attraction received raving reviews from trick-or-treaters after they recovered from a real fright and calmed their thumping hearts..

Zombie at Work - Ground Breaker

The pneumatic zombie suddenly comes to life, thrusts up, down, back and forth, growls and shakes the ground.

Come Play With Me . . . Heh, Heh, Heh

Yumm . . . Zombie. Tastes like chicken.

"Come play with me" written on the top of this ghoulish toy box crawling with flies and draped with a spider web is the invitation for trick-or-treaters to join in the fun as one demon baby chews on the ear of a zombie head, another holds a blood-covered leg bone instead of a rattle while another one is looking at her dolly as if she ready to devour it. While visitors are staring at this disturbing sight in the nightmarish playpen, the box pops open with a scream as another doll jumps up.

Nightmare At Jefferyland!

This is the most disturbing of the Halloween attraction. A zombie baby pops up from inside a toy chest that is complete with flies and spider webs. The display is ghoulish, and the pop-up doll completes the horror! 

Floating Ghosts Come Out To Play

Not so eerie in the daylight.

This is one of the floating ghosts suspended on braided fishing line that circles above the graveyard. Sprayed with Rit bluing, they eerily glow in the night.

Something Eerie In The Night Sky

This is one of the favorite attractions for the younger trick-or-treaters. Several ghosts float overhead above the graveyard to the amazement of the watchers who try to figure out how the trick is rigged.

Morbidity Hangs From A Rope

After a necktie party.

This attraction is like a scene from days gone by with the body left hanging overnight waiting for the buzzards to arrive. It eerily kicks back and forth.

Just Hanging Out.

This man at the front of the yard is hanging around to the delight of trick-or-treaters. It looks very realistic as its swinging motion causes it to slowly turn in various directions. It is a creepy to watch.

Screaming Skeleton Gets Ready To Scare

Get ready, get set . . .

This skeleton looks harmless, but not so. It lies in wait to spring when trick-or-treaters are least expecting it.

Screaming Skeleton Gets a Rise.

While trick-or-treaters are watching the zombie to its left, a spotlight flashes on and this skeleton pops up with a blood-curdling scream.  Its screams are often matched by the screams from startled and unsuspecting onlookers. 

I'll Be Your Best Friend. Right!

Hey you! You in the costume, let me out of here!

This talking zombie is getting ready to give his spiel to convince trick-or-treaters to help him escape. Beware. He is as evil as he looks.

Halloween at Jefferyland - Pleading Zombie

This is one of my favorite Halloween animations. It is a Zombie that is pleading to be released from its coffin. It is played on a computer screen, and as it pleads trick-or-treaters to let it out promising them that if they do he will be their best friend, the coffin lid bangs up and down.
