What I want to know is what Blast is doing for Halloween.

Maybe a holocaust cloak?

Hey, I'm the friendly neighborhood Candyman!

Kids love our house.

Okay, maybe a few neighbors complained.

Awesome Halloween setup, Blast!

GREAT Halloween decor, Blast! Probably the best I've ever seen.

But no Holocaust cloak... maybe next year?

Sue

Pretty scary there Blast. Do you get kickbacks from therapists if you traumatize more kids? LOL.

I had a neighbor many years back that went for Halloween horror in a big way. He claimed that if he didn't have at least one kid wet themselves it wasn't a good year. One lady went inside to complain that her kids were frightened and ended up running out screaming herself.

The sheriff's department was called and got their own fright. And then, after a good laugh about how more than one 'screamed like a girl', and meeting the guys family, the whole family was involved, the sheriff's deputies all brought their own kids to the house. It got to be a regular thing. It helped that he was friends with the Sheriff. I was never quite sure about the wisdom of frightening men with guns.

He did make some concessions for really young kids. He would make an appearance as a 'friendly monster' and lead them through the house by the hand under his protection. Parents welcome, of course. On the other hand when kids were bigger he would do his best leave them less well hydrated.

One thing he had was drip emitters. They just dripped water but the sound system was talking about dripping blood and he had some rather impressive blood spray on the walls to plant the idea. He claimed a drop of water was the perfect distraction for one of his ghouls to slip in behind them. He had the whole thing timed to the second.

Glad to see someone keeping up the grand tradition of scaring kids, and promoting tooth decay, on Halloween. Keep up the good work Blast.

PS - The gas mask might be more frightening with the old WW2 era long-hose model with the bug-eye round eyepieces. Useless as gas masks they are far more alien looking. Good news is they can be picked up for a few dollars.

The severed limb costume is pretty good and eye stopping. I did that one year for a Boo at the Zoo thing, and with the fake blood and fake ripped skin, more than few kids backed up and even cried when they saw me. Poor kids, probably scarred for life.
