haha wow. great idea, but unfortunately I dont think i’d be able to get away with that one around here without being slapped or arrested
October 7, 2004 at 7:02 pm #37127RabidKittenParticipantOh you guys have NO idea what goes on at my house for halloween. My mother has an enclosed porch and changes it into a haunted porch. She was a trade electriction for 15 years so she puts up all these motion sensors and puts scary music, strobe lights, screaming and all these other things to them, then has all these cables she pulls and cofins fly open and skeletons pop out, bats swoop down. And the best part? She’s a 5′ tall woman…in halloween, she’s 6’2″. She straps compacted styrofoam to her boots and wears this witch costume (Which is funny since she -is- a witch), with this big staff that glows and thunders, and she replaces her front door with a coffin that sits in the door and opens into the porch. also, for some of the night, I sit in a chair near the door, pretending to be a dead warewolf. So here’s a run through when you come into the porch.
Open the door, immediately the screaming turns on, little strobe light turns on, and the big fan blowing spider webs turns on. There’s a big sign that says “Push doorbell” …you push it, the coffin flies open in the corner and a skeleton pops out, bats swoop down at you and worse screaming starts (cackling too). Two seconds later, the big strobe turns on and the coffin door flies open, this huge woman crawls out of it with a glowing, lightening staff, cackling at you. (My mother’s laugh really does sound like cackling). Then, as they turn to leave, the warewolf propped up in the corner tries to grab you, howling.
To say the least we’ve had children run away, screaming. I’ll take pictures when we start building it this year. It should be -great- fun. My mother’s been doing this for decades, so we have people who used to come here as kids now bringing their own kids here. It’s really really fun. Like I said though, I’ll bring pictures sometime, when we get to building it (should be within the week).Yeah…I used to have a pinup girl too, Elisa…but then someone told me that there was an avatar that matched my signiture. So *shrug* No more pinup girl, heheh. I’m just lucky nobody has my avatar so there’s absoutely no excuse for mistaken identity *wink*
October 7, 2004 at 7:51 pm #37132Dr KimbleParticipantOMG, that sounds amazing RK! I can’t wait to see the pictures 🙂 I like Halloween as well, but there is no way I can outdo you, just no way!

Generally the ppl who come to my igloo at halloween tend to be eaten by the polar bears before they get there….

i like to frighten little childrens on halloween using mr. chainsaw 🙂

October 8, 2004 at 2:26 pm #37135AwesomeSauceParticipantRabitKitten, if possible, film a short video-clip(only if you have a digital camera, or something like that). Even better, record somebody screaming their head off and running away. Well… they probably wouldn’t want that, but anyway, it sounds pretty cool.
October 8, 2004 at 9:07 pm #37142QuiksilverMembergood idea awesomesauce! I hope RK will do that for us *innocent smile* seems sooo funny…LOL I wish I had a smart mom like that!!!!haloween is far away tho….grr……

October 9, 2004 at 6:43 am #37128RabidKittenParticipantYeah, it should really be great, and I’ll take pictures of the porch beforehand too so you get how drastic the change is *nod nod* I’ll see if there’s enough light to do a film…it may be too dark but we’ll see. It’s really very amazing. Heh, and yeah, we do overdo it a lot for halloween, but what do you expect from a couple witches!?! *laughs* Besides, my birthday’s the day after halloween, so it’s like a big celebration right before my birthday, and when I was little, I had all kinds of candy for it. I love it all, no matter how nutty it is.
Now I just have to decide what I’m going to be *blink blink* (yes I still dress up, it’s too much fun not too! I missed the last 3 years) *goes through her checklist of ideas from previous years* …Christmas tree…naw. Penguin…naw. A gay man (my friends idea)…naw. A hooker…ehhh not this year. Well darn, I’m out of ideas…hmph.And thanks, Vik *snickers*

-quiksilver-October 12, 2004 at 2:29 am #37129RabidKittenParticipant*snickers* A cat, I was a cat back when I was in elementary school (don’t -make- me dig up some old costum pictures, cause I’ll do it!) But I could be a rabid one. Foaming at the mouth and all… Hmmm…
October 14, 2004 at 11:46 pm #37123OreoMemberHere’s an idea for a Halloween Costume…how about Halloween itself? Since you’re “Sam” Samhain…that’s the Celtic Halloween…http://www.celticspirit.org/samhain.htm Just a thought 😀
