Halloween Night


Oh Halloween
I love Halloween.
As a kid it was my favorite holiday.
I loved pretending, just for one night, that i could be someone else.
I remember some of my costumes were an Indian, a mad scientist, Zorro,
and a hockey player.

It was always such a great night.
Candy for months.
Memories for a lifetime.

So this Halloween will always be a great memory.

The night started off hectic. Gabe and I had been thinking of cool ideas to scare dome of the kiddies. Well like most things, we waited until the last minute.
We were running around try to get dry ice and download scary songs to the iPod.
This was the idea...
There is a sunlight above Gabe's front door.
So we came up with the plan to make it look like someone was hung from it.
So the kids had to walk by the hanging corpse to get to the candy,
which we left in the door way.
Well Gabe was the corpse, Dressed up so that you couldn't tell it was real.
Then when kids would walk up he would scare them.


Gabe hanging from the sunlight.

We got a harness and everything. We had loud scary music and crazy lights going.
And kids started showing up right after it started to get dark.
So we got a couple of groups pretty good.
Even made one little girl cry!


Well it was all good for about the first half hour.
Then Gabe started getting sore from hanging up there.
Long story sh
ort....
It just didn't work like we thought it would.
Then by 6:30 we didn't see a kid on the street.
So we gave up that idea.


Well now we're all wondering what we are going to do now?

Wendy told all of us that in Glendale there was a haunted corn maze.
Perfect!

So we loaded up and drove 45min to Glendale.
For $20 you got a plate of BBQ ribs and chicken and a ticket for the maze.
Dinner and a show!
So we all ate then went into the maze......


All of us eating BBQ before the maze.

Corn Stalks!

It was a little creepy cause it was dark and you could hear all the other
kids screaming and yelling.

Reminded me of Children of the Corn or Jeepers Creepers.
Well in the distance we could hear the shrill shriek of a chainsaw.
And all the kids screaming. So we thought this was gonna be awesome.
So we wandered around for a while laughing and trying to scare one another.
Then we got the idea to scare all the other people in the corn. So we all split up.


All of us in the corn maze.

So now I'm running through the dark listening for other people.
But it was great cause at the beginning they handed out to everyone glow necklaces.
So in the distance through the corn you could see people.
So we started to stalk everyone and scaring them.
We did so good at it that the kids that were there working just stopped trying.


So we hung out and did that for the rest of the night.
Now I'm all cut up and sore from bashing through the corn.
It was a great night and sure did make up for earlier.
