A nice excuse to re-re-re-feature Noah Fentz' yard haunt.

Halloween Candy

Every year I anxiously await this guy's new haunt photos. I think he's tapped into my memories of what it was like as a kid trick-or-treating at a house with an elaborate display. I remember feeling a bit confused as a child. Adults weren't supposed to do things like this. Where'd all this stuff come from? MY parents put out a few paper decorations and one pumpkin.

There's an uneasiness as a trick-or-treater when you contemplate a massive undertaking like a yard and home haunt. A creepiness. You wandered onto a complete stranger's property to get some candy, surrounded by tombstones and ghosts and webs and angry pumpkins and shadows. It's a very unnatural gathering of all the things that are scary and horrifying in one quick and fleeting dose. And I totally miss it.

I'm glad I can get a taste of it at Katzper's Haunt. A big sweet, going-to-ruin-your-dinner-because-you've-eaten-a-pile-of-Halloween-candy taste of it.
