I did , lol

Here I was , stationed in the garage with table set up and candy in the bowl , awaiting the legions of doom. This year I decided to set up the Xbox in the Garage ,and watch a movie as the horde decended upon my neighborhood.
So here I am , watching Willow for the first time , and in between handing out candy and watching , some little 8 year old , comes screaming (speedwise)across my lawn on a weird angle, so that (s)he is out of my line of sight, and just pops in at the corner of the garage door.

Probably one of the most spoookiest Fly costumes , replete with screen mesh to cover the eyes and 5 foot tall ,and three feet wide , wings and all.

I jumped backwards as this creature demanded tribute , in return for not doing what ever mutant flys do.

On a more amusing note ,I had a group of concerned parents wondering what had befallen about 12 post toddlers, when they failed to return from their armed recon of my candy store.

Seeing bout 6 sets of parents arrive on my door step ,while the tykes are basically watching willow,and one of the little ones upon seeing his parental overlords , mommy , daddy----------------> Obbits.

Hmm, next years movie is gonna be alien or aliens :smiley: , no cute and fuzzy hobbits to entertain children.

I didn’t get scared, but my sister did and I was right there next to her, that counts right?

Sis had stopped by to show me the kids’ costumes and visit for a moment, I’d walked her to the end of the driveway as she was getting ready to leave. From her angle, she couldn’t see Dad walking up the sidewalk to my house, he comes over every year to handle passing out candy as I take my son around.

Just as he comes upon us, he flips his flashlight on doing the scary upward face illumination and ooga-booga cackling laugh, she damn near jumped out of her skin.

Wound up loaning her a dry set of drawers to go home in, it was hilarious! :smiley:

I didn’t manage to get scared, but we certainly alarmed some small children.

We have a smoke machine stratigically placed by the front door. The secret is all in the timing. If you get it right, a wall of smoke envelops the costumed candy grabbers in the split second when hey are summoning the courage to ring the front doorbell. We had three loud screens and one fleeing toddler*. That’s a pretty good result.
*fleeing toddler only fled about ten yards into parent’s arms. He was then rewarded with a big hand o’candy
