Halloween, should I, the result!

OMG I am gobsmacked for once in my life. That must have been a sight! You will have traumatised the children for life= that is one method for not encouraging them to return next year!

I just hope the local magistrates will be kind to you when you case comes up.

Brilliant Phoenix, pleased it all went so well for you and was well worth your efforts!
Mine wasn't as successful I'm afraid. I spent ages decorating the front of the house with cobwebs and spiders and a beautifully articulated skeleton that glowed in the dark and hung from overhanging branches on the path. Only problem was that my DGD and other littlies were too scared to come anywhere near and stood wailing at the gate! I'll stick to just a lit pumpkin next year!

Just tell them you’re a Gransnetter and plead insanity! They’re bound to let you off!

One of my neighbours do absolutely wonderful outside decorations for Halloween, all I did was put a hand written "Beware of the Witch!" notice on the front door!

We have a village FaceBook page, wonder what will be posted on it regarding Halloween?

Can't wait to see the photos phoenix! We had two little groups call at our house, so as usual have to eat all the leftover chocs ourselves - a hard job - but we're up to it!

Brilliant outcome, phoenix. Hope the photos are here soon. Wish I was brave enough to do the same. Hmm. Maybe next year .

It's great that you joined in the 'spirit' of it all phoenix well done, look forward to the pics.
We have lived in this house 30 +yrs and have never had trick or treaters call. We are on the edge of town though.

I’m full of admiration.
We turn off the lights and lie on the floor!?
No really aren’t that mean but we’re down a long dark drive so we don’t get any callers even tho’ I always have something in the house just in case.

My OH traumatised some local little witches by opening the door in a very scary mask and wig, with his striped kitchen apron on and shouting “ you orrible lot! I’ve got the oven on - you’ll just about fit in...,! “Kids ran away screaming....

We had a houseful of little ghosts and ghouls and whenever the door bell rang they all rushed to the door in delight armed with sweets to give the Trick or Treaters.

suzied

We had many more than usual this year and ran out of sweets. DH wasn't happy as he didn't get any.
We don't decorate, just stick a pumpkin poster over our No Cold Callers sign for a couple of hours.

Look forward to the photos phoenix good luck with the magistrate

I only had one set of trick or treaters this year (neighbours grandchildren). I had stocked up on chocolates so will be making the ultimate sacrifice and eat them myself! I would save them for Christmas but I don't think chocolate keeps very well does it (please say no!)

No, Oldwoman70. ?

Hi Phoenix, you really are someone special. I picture you as a tall, slender, sophisticated brunette. Am I right? Your husband is the luckiest man in the world, well, that is next to me.
Brian.

The wicked witch of the village Phoenix you will be now expected to do this every year!?
