It's Almost Time...

Going to be taking Petrified Jack down soon so the Haunt can go up.  I love that this guy has been around since 2014.  I've used him most years since then to let the neighborhood know the Haunt will be coming.

He always looks startled that he won't be part of the big show...

Poor guy, haha.
But he is allowed to present himself longer.
Should make him merciful.
I wish you both a lot of fun and success in building the haunt. I'm really looking forward to seeing the annual highlight.
I know it will be perfect.

~ Jack's Epiphany ~

There is a great scarecrow who looks exactly like fall,
He’s bundles of sticks and old stalks, and ever so tall
For weeks of the season he stands up straight and with pride
But before the Big Night, finds himself taken inside

The look on his long face seems to say he’s surprised
The face one makes when he’s suddenly realized
He really won’t be there, won’t be on display
Not this year, not this time, not this Halloween Day

Of course, it’s all happened before; several times in fact
He just forgets each year, because his brains aren’t in tact
If the head wasn’t so empty, he’d know and recall
It’s always back to the basement to wait for next fall…

You, Sir, are a Master and a man amongst men. Haha

Thanks so much for this!

Always a pleasure to see what Mr Rot is up to.

I love petrified Jack! I feel a little sorry for him that he isn't part of the big show but he seems to have clocked some decent pre-show time. Happy Halloween Rot! Can't wait for the main event.

Happy Halloween!

Poor Petrified Jack. Always the bridesmaid and never the bride. At least he gets to enjoy most of that very special month outdoors announcing what's to come!
