Well, after gettin all our pumpkins…
I realized we had far too many for me to deal with. Sorry, but I’m drawing a line at cleaning 100ish. So, what to do with the surplus?
They were gone in an hour.
Of course, we’ve also been taking a full advantage of our Lagoon season passes as well. Turns out Talia REALLY loves photo ops.
Makes me think I should build some myself…
Funny thing Lagoon features 4 haunted houses that run the range of the best and worst such professional haunts have to offer.
The Funhouse, clown centered, 3D haunted house is an utter mess of the same trick over and over. Every room is an assault on your eyes with an actor hiding somewhere. Barely variation on ye olde dot room.
The Backlot next door is the classic cram as many movie scenes as you can into a haunted house. Not my thing, but it is a staple of the season.
Lockdown is Lagoon’s prison themed haunt, and IMO the best one there again. Relatively low tech and actor driven, a lot depends on getting good actors in there, but I enjoy it best, and among them, it is both Talia’s and Alec’s biggest fear.
Nightwalk, however, is the polar opposite. High tech, almost entirely prop driven haunt…too bad they keep it so dark you can hardly see any of it.
Of course, we’ve also been working on my own stuff as well.
My mask for the year is coming along quite well. With Trevor being from the era of the plague and all, we figured we may as well run with that theme all the way round.
And of course, doing the plague and all, you have to account for the miasma theory of the time. Trevor finally got a full blown test…
Trevor looks awesome in so many ways!
Photo ops are so much fun – the adults in my family fight with the kids to get to them first!
