Happy Halloween

Halloween, 1921

It was another odd year by way of weather.  A giant storm packed with heavy rain and wind passed through and finally gave up the ghost at 8AM on Monday, the 30th.  I ran outside and began work on mushy ground.  The winds were surreal.  To date, the worst ever while prepping a Haunt.  I worked through the day and around 9PM, just as I was whining that the night shoot photos would have to take place in the early hours of Halloween, the wind stopped.  I ran for the bags of leaves in the yard and began spreading them like a man who had lost his mind.  But they stayed in place.  And the candles stayed lit.

Halloween morning, the winds returned.  Hours of heavy gusts that literally removed every leaf from the porch floor and whipped the clothesline around until the clothes were wrapped around each other and the line.  I yelled "My Laundry!" to no one.

Then, in the late afternoon sun of Halloween, the wind ceased.  I ran for more leaves.  And the cameras.  Success.  The evening was calm and cool, and everyone seemed excited about the display.  I think the lighting and the clothesline created a depth that my Haunt hasn't seen before.  And people seemed to really dig the effect.  Thankfully. (Though someone did say "So what's with the clothesline?")

So below are the photos which answered the question I kept asking myself throughout the build - "What would I make if I lived in 1921?"  I hope you enjoy them.
