Simple Scares that Turn Bad when the Lights go out.

 

2 Days until Halloween

Blog post #1 of two - Later today my original story - "Mystery of the Harvest Moon" is set to make its debut. Lets hope Sandy keeps her distance and destruction away long enough to get this story to you.

 

 

With all the hype of "Frankenstorm Sandy" churning out in the Atlantic waiting for her moment to put her own Halloween scare on all of us in her path, and the rain that finally stopped threatening it was coming and showed up with its buddy "Mr. Wind" - we still had our last opening night for the Halloween Happening 2012. All the ghouls and all the volunteers waited in wonder -  would anyone venture out on a Sunday night with a major storm pending, or would they remain home to hunker down? In the two hours that we were open, only two dozen people ventured out for the closing night of our event.

It was a somber feeling that filled some of the volunteers; others were celebrating the joys it was over. For myself, I think I fit into the third group of people that found the ending to another year of Halloween fun, was now a feeling like a sense of loss and sad that it was over so soon. It happens, with all the hype, all the preparations that had been made to create scary scene after scary scene, both inside the Haunted Barn and for the Haunted Hay ride, all the running around to get this and fix that. You would have thought it was Christmas time. I get this same feeling of loss the day after Christmas. I guess like a major holiday, our event brings the same rush to get ready as the Holiday seasons do and just as quickly as it gets here – it’s gone.

So, now that the event is over, I wanted to take a moment to share a few pictures of what our tour looked like with the lights on.  They were simple scares that turn bad when the lights go out and the head ghouls yells - PLACES - Their coming in!

I do hope that everybody exercises extreme caution and stays safe as Hurrican Sandy makes her own Debut over the next several hours. You are in our thoughts and prays.

Until later today - I'll blog ya later.
