Does anyone decorate for Halloween and welcome trick or treaters?
I will decorate to a point, but don't go overboard. I can't compete with my neighbor anyway. Her house looks like the Adams Familys' and she uses it to her advantage. One year she rented coffins from a theater supply house. She did her front yard like a cemetary with headstones and everything. The coffins were motion senored so when anyone started up the walk, the coffins would spring open and skeletons would jump out. She hid speakers in her shrubbery that played scary music. It was all very professional.
She made the local paper with that set up. My guests thought it was a hoot.
