ALL HALLOW'S EVE
ALL HALLOW'S EVE
It's hard to miss Elephants in Oakland HQ on our block.
Every wonder what to do with that gown you graduated from high school or college with? Take a few wire hangers, the ones from the dry cleaners you have no idea what to do with, and form a crude body outline. Hang it from the ceiling of your porch and place a fog machine (about $20 from target) beneath it. Drape your skeleton with your robe. Change the bug light to a nice blue light or black light. You now have a headless corpse with fog emanating from the neck.
It takes about 40 minutes. You might want to consider using a tarp or sheet to enclose the porch. Adds an added dimension of spookiness with the shadows and outlines on the porch. Halloween sounds are up to you.

I especially like the one on the right. You did a nice job capturing Ken Macha's likeness.

Admit it. Kerry did that, while you sat on the porch and drank beer. And advised her.

I'll admist I delegate authority well. I carved the A's pumpkin, she did the death pumpkin.
I don't drink. Recovering alcoholic and all.
It's easy to do the pumpkins, print out a picture and tape it to the pumpkin. Then, lightly trace the outline with a knife or pumpkin tool.
Then rip the paper off and cut for realsies.

It did (does) look nice. I'm just jealous my wife didn't do something like that. Our #2 & # 3 girls picked up a free trunkload of pumpkins, and along with #4, #5, & #6 daughters, pretty much smothered our little hovel with orange scary faces. They even made one for Chopper the Dog, who is, even as I type, happily chewiing on his very own jack-o-lantern. Life is good when your Dog can force the humans to bend to his will. Lets you know where I rate. I didn't get my very own pumpkin.
