Halloween

Another carved rutabaga for this year

The answer is there is no right away. Eat the whole thing or start at the white end or start at the yellow end.

It's coming together. This is the main decoration I set up for my house. I've still got a lot to do with the lighting control, fog, and audio.

Nothing particularly original or unique - mostly off-the-shelf except for the fence, but a little light and fog go a long way.

it's still September 30th in my timezone but I couldn't wait any longer

Last year I started up a neighborhood haunted trail and it ended up being way more successful than in imagined. We’re starting planning for this year and I thought I’d get some ideas from y’all. Let me know if you have any amazing ideas for a haunted trail.

I setup a semi janky site for it so also take a look if interested.

Only real constraint is that we don’t have tons of power available. Last year was zero power and this year we’re planing on running some long extension cords but it’s definitely a limiting factor.

It also needs to be roughly PG-13. We can go semi hard but need to be able to be able to dial it back as there will be some little ones.

For this Halloween...the trilogy begins. First time Ellen Burstyn is appearing since the original. William Peter Blatty returns as one of the writers and rumor has it Linda Blair will make a cameo appearance.

There are 97 days until Halloween, but at the 24. August the gates of the Kürbisland (Pumkin Land) in Liestal (Switzerland), open his gates.

Dieter and his Wife Nadia are amazing farmers and his pumpkins are the proof. He explains in some videos at @hofgut_obere_wanne_liestal what he is doing on his ground and why.

Michael's had some. It was a little underwhelming, but I think more is on the way.

Have you seen any out there?

What was your best purchase of last year?

Mine was a crow statue from Michaels. I used it for the post image.
