I had a brilliant time! I had to send zombie brother on a candy run at about 8pm so I wouldn't run out! Based on the number of big bars I gave away, and the quantity of back-up minis, and then the cut from what ZomBro picked up, I'd say it was between 150 and 200 trick or treaters, which is definitely a new record! There were people showing up at six, before I'd even gotten the pumpkins lit and the lights turned on, and they were still coming at nine! On a Sunday!!
I guess I've finally put enough cr@p in the yard to attract attention. The pumpkin lights ten feet in the air probably helped too. The severed head in the Showtime Rotisserie cooker was a big hit, and my ten evil little Republicans (Sarah, Newt, Mitt, Rudy, Ahhnold, Dick, Rummy, Dubya, Senior, and Dole) posing with their pitchforks under the giant devil prop was also very popular. And then the premier of The Walking Dead after (which was okay), and, of course, distillers' edition Lagavulin from 1991.... Yes, it was a fine night!
