Creepy
Proving I was always pretty Dark (and apparently hip and cool), despite my horrid faux smile (I have a feeling my mother said something like 'show yer teeth or I'll break 'em.' [it's the only explanation for such a terrible smile]).
Please note the Christmas decorations in the background. Monsters are all-season, yo.

Glowing Halloween
Love seeing so many strands of lights used in Halloween displays.

And Close Beside It A Shattered Pumpkin
The last of the family photos.
These are from a Halloween Party where I think I was Mr. Uptight (but dressed as Ichabod Crane) and insisted on a series of Traditional "events," such as bobbing for apples and watching the Charlie Brown Halloween Special (seen below on that ugly awful black and white tv in an era of color television [if you zoom in, you can actually see Lucy and some other gal]).

Mad Monster Party
The first photo from the final few. In my memory, these guys did not coordinate their costumes. Though that feels highly improbable looking at this photograph.
I'm not in this one, but I'm definitely in the next one I'll be posting tomorrow.
The Monsters Of Scaresdale Manor

| This prop is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. |
Scooby-Doo Witch
As a dude, I have no shame saying I'd wear this for Halloween (mabye a little). If anyone complimented it or asked me a question, I would just do a faux female voice from under the mask (like the old Dunkin Donuts guy from those old commercials).

Halloween Party Of The Century
Getting to the last of the photographs from the past. Here's one of the final few from a party we had back then.
Thankfully, I'm not in it.

Secrets
My grandfather was the first one to arrive at the second crash site. He said he saw their bodies. Called them 'little people.' He knelt next to the smallest one, only three feet long, and scooped it up and wrapped it in a blanket or a towel. He placed it in the jeep. The driver just stared at the crash debris. And the bodies.
He said he kept it in his footlocker, wrapped up. Never looked at it again.
After he died. My grandmother told me the story. Said that he wanted her to tell me after he passed. I asked if they still had the trunk. She said "Oh yes. It's in the cellar."
And she handed me the key.
With A Thousand Faces...
SO many more homemade costumes since the last time I checked... absolutely love it.
