Since we were trying to sell our old house last year, we were unable to truly decorate and enjoy Halloween. This year, Keith and the kids made up for it. We had our grave stones and window pictures, but they added additional items. There was a large sound activated spider which dropped in the doorway. A rubber rat on the front stoop. A hand reaching up from a grave and a skeleton hanging in the window. There was a ghost "flying" back and forth inside the house in the entry way arch.

They used Gordon's garbage can with the popping up zombie head. They built a scary box. Inside the box, there was a motor which caused the box to shake and make noise. Out of the bottom were legs. Then, they painted the outside with words like radioactive, do not open, etc.The final part on the box was the glow in the dark paint they used to paint additional words and a skull with crossbones.
They took turns watching for trick or treaters to approach and pushed the buttons making the box shake and garbage can pop at just the right time. They were kind to the little ones and would not push the buttons.
