yamamanamaToday was utterly perfect for Night of a Thousand Faces.
I think the rain delayed and slowed down down our Spooky Trail development.
We added a mad scientist's laboratory (he had a blender and was stirring a barrel of mystery fluid), one of the volunteers had a ridiculous outfit and she was standing on a rock and warning people about the spooky trail. I pinned down a dummy with pieces of a fence because it's hard to stuff sleeves with leaves and crap, and it looked like he got trapped when something fell on him. Not literal crap, I mean.
Nina said that she'd yell one thing if there was a jerk coming so people would get in their face and scary and another thing if scared children were there so everyone would be extra nice and let them know that they're just costumes.
There were at least a hundred fewer pumpkins, but the trail splitting mitigated that. It also made the crowd flow through quicker.
I swear I recognized Alyssa by her tattoo. However, Lisa's face had some cool paint on it and she was wearing a black wig and I didn't recognize her at all.
Jess had Skinky and Spyro, I alternated between Itsy Bitsy and Kaa (and Kaa found his way into my shirt while I was showing off the curved teeth on a snake skull), Courtney had a something monitor something that I thought was a skink. I think that the kids were like "cool, a snake!" and the parents were like "augh, get it away from me!"
I hope everyone had as much fun walking the trails as we did making them. I'm sure they did. We had a lot of people.
My response to the kids at the bridge screaming was "mawp. mawp? mawp." I don't think they're old enough to get it.
Someone was the ghost of Dupont from Breaking Bad. I thought he was post-apocalyptic Jason.
Shane's answer to "a thing that is yellow and dangerous" was "a lemon," because you can squirt it in people's faces. I asked that because he saw a Batsignal pumpkin.
burning question: Just how many people named Emma are there?
