2013 Hallowe'en

Spiders and Webs
It's been four years since a spider-themed Hallowe'en at our house.

Designed for Those on the Walk
We worked on the spider a bit, sewing a new "inflatable" abdomen, integrating a fog machine, and rigging it to hang from an acutal web. The movement on the web really brought it to life.

Most Photographed House Tonight
The crowd felt a touch light (again) this year, but still several hundred kids came by.

Lighting, Lighting, and Lighting
If you're after a successful yard decoration, go for one big thing and invest in lights.

The View From the Porch
Sitting on our steps handing out candy is quickly becoming a Thing To Do on October 31.

The Crew
Super big thanks to these guys, Eve, Pat, Allison, and Molly for making tonight happen. This is not a one-person show. It takes a village to...wait.

Too Macabre?
I wanted to make these even more "life like." They certainly get a lot of notice, but I wonder if it's perhaps a touch "too far...?"

Or, Just Right?
