This year's theme was 'BBQ - You're What's For Dinner', featuring a grill with body parts. Lots of people come by their street to see what they've done. Their son even figured out a way to make the windows look like they're boarded up. (Nail planks in a 'boarded up' pattern, making sure they can support the weight' and use bent wreath hangers to hang them from the top part of the window.)This year, they had 151 kids and almost that many adults who came by for yard haunting tips and to enjoy the production with their kids. It was down about half this year because Halloween was on a school night so there was not a lot of neighborhood roaming; people tended to stay in their own for the two hours.No people with no costumes; even the older teens were in full costume. There was a good mix. A few Batmans and Incredibles suits (including one mom who was dressed as Elastigirl with her son and daughter as Dash and Violet - that got a lot of points for guts, but she could certainly handle spandex....) Fairies, undead, a couple vampires, a zombie or two. Three of the older teens were done up as a Victim, Demon, and Exorcist.</blockquote>
