Halloween: Prepare to See A Show

Hello fans- and those who scanned our QR code or looked us up on Halloween night. I'm glad you've stopped by, have a look around (*cough* buy my book *cough*), read some stories.

For Halloween I have a tradition at home- every year I come up with some insane little act I put on for trick-or-treaters. I started by just pretending to be a dummy and scaring kids, to being a pet zombie, to having a horde of zombies in the front yard. Some have scared kids, others have simply entertained them.

For the last two years people have asked my family "No show again this year?"...well, we're back. And this year, we're going for gold and not just scaring these kids- but making them remember us for a month. (I exaggerate here, but I apologize if your child does in fact get THAT scared.)

I created a character tentatively called "Dr. Fixit". He's obsessed with fixing everything that's wrong with you...even if there's nothing wrong. Because there's always something wrong...and he's a doctor and must fix it.

Check back in here soon for a video from Halloween night of the terrifying show and the whole process of making the scene (or follow us on Facebook, yeah? Link on the side there). Whether we pull something like this off again next year? We'll see. But two years off has left the desire for more blood than you'd imagine. I'd do an evil laugh here, but in text it just looks dumb- so just imagine it.
