maverick_weirdoWhile I did not get to go to O.V.F.F. this year, that meant I was home to go to Halloween Town. The camp where this is held is a half mile from my house, so I walked there in cloak & kilt with glow-lights attached to my walking stick.
There were about 20 - 30 cabins decorated to different levels of scary by local companies & community groups. A local theater group “The Village Players” had one of the scariest: People you can’t see yelling at you through cloth walls, and the sounds of power tools.
One of the cleverest was by “Stone School” they had two windows each covered except for a 3 inch diameter hole. A one-handed pirate then encouraged people to reach in to get their treat, or maybe trick. One window had a bowl of candy inside; the other had a bowl of pumpkin guts, and sometimes people inside the building would touch your hand when you reached in.
There was a lazer-light display behind one of the buildings which was cool.
My favorite by far was a group of teen-girls doing tableaus along a wooded path. Their faces were painted ashen color and they were wearing white gowns. One had a veil like a bride; a second held a two-headed baby (doll); the third sat behind a gilded picture frame, and the fourth was uphill from the trail playing eerie music on a violin by torchlight.
All together it was quite the event.
