For a change of pace, I figured that going through the house a bit, y'all may see a different view of my Halloween at home. ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK Let's go through the living room into the kitchen/dining area and then a bit of the library...
...a bit of the main chamber of the living and dead...witches and ghouls, reapers and horror...
Everything's bigger in Texas....including spiders!
Besides the coven of witches, jack-o-lanterns light up the night, and perhaps guide the grim reaper
It's all about atmosphere and the fun of the season probably. I have several areas that have
candles aglow. Other spots a string of lights create 'flavor and mood
swings'. Such as the candy corn lights around the witches. I entwined a short grouping of the violet, bloody red, lights atop my
witch I painted [and Bud framed] many years ago. I have it propped up
along with a 'cult like jigsaw puzzle' and witch dolls on the hearth. The grim reaper is torn ragged material draped over an iron tomato garden prop with a skull and hat. Also a DIY'er.
Several flies buzz around all the smell of Halloweens' past. You know,
like the rotting flesh type odors? [hehehehe] While witches fly around
and light anywhere they choose.... Watch your step, keep your eyes open at all times and ears clear for things that go bump in the night! Step up from the 'sunken' living room into the dining room...

[Some ask]... Yes, I decorate only indoors these past few years. We used
to go 'big' on decorating our home on the exterior, but after getting a
lot stolen or vandalized here, we just stopped. The kids in Tucson
really looked forward to what Bud would do outdoors. One year, he even
wrapped our entire house with webbing and giant spiders! I remember one
boy who came to our door and said "My brother and I look forward to
each Halloween at your house! We wish you'd keep it up all year
'round". That really made Bud happy. Now, we do Halloween just for the
two of us. And share with family in photos and here on my blog of
course.
