Wow, you carved a house out of a giant pumpkin? Impressive. ;D
-
very cool.

Nice work. I wish I could do something like that to my house. I wouldn't know where to begin. There is a guy down the street who has pretty much the ultimate Halloween setup at his house. I mean the front yard is literally a graveyard complete with dry ice, giant spiders, undead, guillotines etc. He has his kids lay on the ground on graves hidden by the smoke and they slowly rise like zombies as you come by to trick or treat. It's so freakin awesome.

I went to a theme park in the Netherlands where they dress the whole park in halloween style (pumpkins, graves, explosions, severed body parts, eerie music etc) . They have actors walking around with chainsaws (or as zombies) to scare the bejeebus out of the girls. There are several live halloween houses where you walk through and actors try to scare you wherever you go. Very entertaining.
My own house just has a pumpkin and a skeleton in the front yard :-[

Nice - and I'd bet the farm it saves you a ton of money..."No need to buy Halloween candy this year for those neighbor kids!" ;D
-
That's pretty cool.

I have almost nothing to say about that house... :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
I wonder how many people walked into the open mouth for some candy?

Well, I don't have exact counts, but more went in than came out...

Valentine, Halloween.....next Sinterklaas gets kicked out by Santa Claus (who originally WAS Sinterklaas !).....Nice American traditions, let's keep it that way...can't we have our own culture anymore ?

Last year around Halloween my family and I were in Orlando... I so so so badly wanted to head over to Universal for their ridiculously awesome Halloween theme park but we didn't have a sitter and clearly you can't take the kids. :banghead:

Every year they turn Knotts Berry Farm in southern California into Knotts Scary Farm, and it is amazing. I haven't been in years, but they would have around 20 haunted houses, almost every one done extremely well. They also would have a ton people in costumes around the park jumping out of bushes, screaming and basically just terrorizing anyone gets near them. Plus when I went they also had some great outdoor shows, I remember one of the shows I saw had Jason, Freddy, Chucky and a few other famous horror monsters came out on stage and killed a bunch of annoying pop culture icons like Barney, N-Sink, and Britney Spears.
I remember one of my friends was acting really tough and saying that theres no way he would get scared, and he was right for the first few haunted houses, but then 15 foot tall reaper came flying out over our heads and he went running and screaming like a little girl. Good times.

That looks great, Saint! Now whose house did you snap a picture of?? :laugh2: :laugh2:
Since you did this, are you planning on doing one of those synchronized light shows for Christmas? You know, one with 45000+ lights and some Trans-Siberian being piped through an FM transmitter?
Oh, the amusement park in Denver, Elitch's, does the same thing for Halloween. They were a Six Flags park but in late 2006 or early 2007 the park went up for sale and I have no idea if it's been sold or not yet. The water park area is closed and they put up a haunted house and the rest of the park is decorated Halloween-style. Because it's Denver, CO, and it's October and getting cooler, they are only open during the weekends, then they close for the winter.
