As a kid obsessed with horror movies, I always loved Halloween. The one day of the year when monsters came to life. When I was in college, it was a great excuse for a party. Now in my autumn years, I still like to put the blacklights in the windows for the kiddos.
Since this is 2020 and Everything Must Suck, trick or treating is effectively cancelled. I’m still decorating, dammit. I want my spooky, campy atmosphere. I didn’t go all out but I got the point across.
Cheap plastic skeletons with glow paint, day-glo spiderwebs illuminated by blacklight and a couple of lasers bouncing around in the background work pretty well.
My plastic skeletons are getting old and breaking so I had to make internal frames out of coat hangers.
While dropping door hangers last Saturday I had to take a picture of this house:
I’d love to know where they got that giant skeleton.
Kitchen Table Kibitzing is a community series for those who wish to share a virtual kitchen table with other readers of Daily Kos who aren’t throwing pies at one another. Drop by to talk about music, your weather, your garden, or what you cooked for supper…. Newcomers may notice that many who post in this series already know one another to some degree, but we welcome guests at our kitchen table and hope to make some new friends as well.
Looking forward to my once a year candy binge.
