Even though it does not feel like it in NJ (mid 80's the last week or so), I'm getting ready for the greatest holiday - Halloween. I usually spend all my time turning half my basement into a haunted house for our big Halloween party, but this year I decided to build some outdoor decorations from scratch.

Meet Lloyd the unfriendly scarecrow. Got him up this morning to protect the house:

And he will be soon joined by Harry out front:

I'm pretty happy with the way they came out - newspaper, paper towels, chicken wire and duct tape.

What are you guys doing for Halloween?

Dude those look great!

Our house has a reputation for building the scariest Halloween setup in the neighborhood for teh past 4 years or so...but I'm not sure if we're doing it this year.

YYYIIIKKKEEESSS!!!

cool man!

That's awesome!

I usually do a very realistic costume and throw a party/attend parties.

Would love to do a haunted house or field or mill one year!

Those are awesome man!

For Halloween I'm trying to get my parents out of the house and I'm going to throw a huge party that weekend. Hopefully things will work out for that.

Here's some shots of Harry "in his plot" and dusk with the lights on:

I'm too scared to come any closer. Please leave some Snickers bars on the sidewalk. Thanks.

Thats really great decorating. I used to do that alot when my kids were younger. We would make an event out of it. Since they've gotten older they dont share my love for Halloween so I do not decorate like I used to.

Ohhh....SWEET!!!!

Love the decorations, avant!

Good to see people DO still celebrate and have fun with the Halloween holiday .

Sweet.

How much did you have to pay WPBHarry to come sit in front of your house for decoration?

You forget that I have a Malibu MAXX SS, so he sits out there for free.

Maxx envy huh?
