Halloween bullshit

[Buzzrock 14775]

Dunno if it’s the same everywhere but Halloween decor seemed to come out extra early around us this year.

I saw my first Christmas decorations this week.  Fuck that shit

The only good thing about decorations coming out early is it also means holiday Reese's pumpkins, trees are out.

Lowes here started putting out Christmas stuff a week ago.

I give Luna a pile of pig intestines on the patio with the Texas Chainsaw Massacre score playing through the window.

One night only though.

Need ideas for across the street from this

If only we had a Surly story about a Halloween lights tour as well... 

This would be worth getting our roll on:

We went to the Night of 1,000 Jack-o'-Lanterns at the Chicago Botanic Garden on Friday night. Some really spectacular artistry on display. They had a bunch of different categories - movies, music, cartoons, sports, deep sea creatures, obituaries (people who died since last Halloween), etc., etc. 

But man, some of them smelled absolutely terrible.

In years past, I did my best to post update progress report photos from the Copse of Putrefication around the first of the month, but as my last updates indicated, all but one from last year (Milk Dud) went to shit, though Lemonhead left enough to make a little diorama or tableau setting. 

We also had an incident with one of the landscapers - I did my best to communicate "leave this shit alone" which apparently came across as "please make sure to remove all this shit" but I managed to salvage Milk Dud and the remnants of Lemonhead. I suspect that perhaps the landscratchers might have absconded with one, or maybe a varmint or just decay caught up with us - who knows. 

A few pictures from March and April that I never got around to posting:

Here's what we ended up with for this year's inductees into the pantheon.

Here's this year's pledge class in their various stages of progression. 

Bought this one because of the funny little prolapsed anus. 

It appears to be the same species as Lemonhead from last year, so in an effort to discourage varmint consumption, I've made X-shaped eyes and a sort of slit-style mouth. The mouth is just a bunch of vertical-ish lines of holes, all of which I connected with a serrated blade. 

I fear that this one won't really come into its own until well after Halloween, but we'll see.

No idea whether this thing will endure the elements indefinitely or if it will decay into nothing, but I figured it was worth investigating. 

The exterior has the texture of soft peanut shells. I suspect it probably cures some diseases while likely causing others. 

It fits neatly into the carcass of Lemonhead. 

This guy is a bright yellow, so Doomlet suggested that I try to make a smiley face. I used the same new "connect the dots" technique with it's mouth (eyes are still drilled and hammered according to tradition). 

[Prepuce of Doom 20861]

The final displays. 

 

The OG is still the spookiest.

My favorite thread for Halloween.

Your home appears to be the portal to a dimension of evil and suffering of countless souls.

Still love this sign from years ago. You can feel the rage in the Vieja that put it up. 

[Prepuce of Doom 20861]

It hasn't even been four days. The weird thing with the "peanut shells" is doing fine, and so is the big reddish one, but the smiley face and the conventional pumpkin are getting torn up by varmints, and mold is also setting in for the conventional pumpkin (its lid has also fallen in on itself...).

They just don't make pumpkins like they used to.

Baby Dutch Yellow potatoes are proving to be every bit as popular as Ring Pops and Albanese gummi bears.

I purposely put only one potato into the treat bowl at a time, and told everyone who remarked that there was only one potato allowed per group. 

Eight kids ultimately chose the potato, and there were two fights over the potato. One little girl told me that she would be back later, but she never returned. She'll probably throw a rock through my window later tonight instead.
