Hallowe'en 2006

The much anticipated night of the year came and went. Here are some photos of that fateful evening.

The Mummy's Curse

The above picture shows Emma and Sarah Ford knocking on the door of our favourite house in the neighbourhood. This lady is a stage set designer and her house decorations are the solid favourite with all the kids in the neighbourhood. If you look closely at the hideous Mummy you will see a snake coming out of the Mummy's belly with treats nestled in the snakes Jaw. This of course sends chills up and down the spines of many a trick or treater.

The Haunted Farquhar Mansion

As always, the Farquhar women were not to be out done by the Mummy lady and decorated their own haunted mansion. You can see the absolutely horrifying grave yard illuminated by the luminescent bones.

3 Amigos

Lauren (was a dryer), Laura (CowGirl) and Katie (washer) had a great time. Katie however was quite sore by the end of the evening after walking around as a washing machine for most of the evening. You can't really see if too well but if you look closely her the door to the washing machine was where her candy bag was stashed. The top panel of the washing machine is decorated with life like knobs including details about the settings for each knob. I think we have a future stage set designer. Look out Mummy Lady!!

Mr. Mime

Here you see Alan in his mime costume. He went to work dressed as a mime and accompanied Sarah on their neighbourhood jaunt.

You In Da Club

Instilling fear in the hearts of young trick or treaters, Fordicas, Todd and Farquhar were in their element dressed as Rappers. Sarah Farky is sporting a Bling around her neck and each Rapper has a painted on Goatee. Miss Todd looks the part as an emasciated Rapper with the skeletal cheek bones. Instead of shouting "Trick or Treat" when they got to the door they would chant a rap tune.

Would You Look At This Pumpkin!!

Take a look at the intricate carving of this pumpkin. This is a Harry Potter character known as Hagrid, hunched over and holding a candle. I was so amazed at this piece of artwork that I asked the owner how he managed to achieve such a feat. He indicated that the carving was done with a power scroll saw.
