Eh... it seemed like a good topic for a separate thread. Feel free to post your random Halloween related posts here.

I shall start, with thanks to NA (on Twitter), with the Robot Pumpkin (originally sent to EH):

Here's a pumpkin

That's quite an impressive pumpkin.

You've seen the inflatable chapel, right? I can't find the website for it, only references to it.

Or the inflatable pub: www.popapub.com

This has been the busiest Halloween season of my entire life. Best of all, even after a month or more of intense preparation for tonight's event ... There will still be a full week of Halloween left!

I don't have my costume even started for the 2 parties I'm going to on Day of the Dead (though it's been determined by the later party which, for the first time this year, has a distinct theme).

On Halloween night, I'm going to the WeHo Halloween Madness Carnival for the second year running ... so much more fun than I expected - - fantastic costumes (though mine won't be) and crazy atmosphere of fun. I'm looking forward to it.

My first costume (of 3 this year) for tonight's mega event came from total disaster to perfection thanks to my sister's tireless efforts. Those same efforts, and those of her husband, also made tonight's shindig possible ... barely any of it could have been done without them.

Yet the unique contribution of my friend Autumn outshines everything else done. And yes, I'm up before sunrise because I'm just too excited to sleep.

This will be the sixth annual Halloween Party at El Mio ... a yearly event that always has a costume theme. The first year was the Dead Man's Party, where you were supposed to come as someone deceased. Many LoT folk were in attendance. The party is legend.

The hostess got a little gun shy after that, and the guest list was pretty limited for the next few years, as we went thru costume themes of Comic Book Characters, Video Game Characters, the World of Tim Burton, and Anything British.

This year's predetermined costume theme is DISNEY, and we prevailed upon the hostess to open the guest list a little when her mother innocently suggested that, instead of a general Disney theme for the 1887 Victorian Mansion High on Hilltop ... we do the place up for Halloween as - - THE HAUNTED MANSION.

And that's what I've been working on for a month (and I'll be working to pay for it for many more months to come). Yesterday was the fantastic day we transformed the creeky old house to the world's newest Haunted Mansion, and it was as much fun as I'd hoped.

There's still so much to do ... so I'm gonna get going right now as the sun peaks over the horizon.

Still ... so as not to shock the poor hostess too much, I did not invite every living soul I know. My sincere apologies to anyone here who did not receive an invitation. I do not mean to be throwing this in anyone's face by this post ... but I'm so excited I'm just going to burst.

As it is, we're expecting some 60 - 70 people. Oh, so now I'm kinda scared as well.

Well, scary is appropriate I guess.

Happy Halloween Everyone.
