My dad was always a fun loving character.
One Halloween, he decided it would be fun to create a type of mini haunted house experience at our home for the trick-or-treaters
The Preparation
He lined the entrance with black plastic to make a dark hallway from the front door to the kitchen. He covered the entire kitchen with black plastic so it looked kind of like a dark cave. In the center of the kitchen cave, there was a caldron filled with candy.
The Haunt
My dad was dressed in a scary creature costume. He was on the roof, just above the entrance, and would make scary gestures as the kids came to the door.
My sisters and I were dressed in some sort of Halloween costume, I can’t remember what we were wearing. We would escort the kids through the hallway to the kitchen cave for their candy, and back.
My mom was dressed as a witch standing over the caldron in the kitchen cave, pretending to stir the witches brew. She pass out candy to the kids from the cauldron.
It was a huge hit. After a while, there were trick-or-treaters lined up clear down the block just to experience the fun!

Good story David. I am impressed that the Trick or Treaters were lined up down the street for a block.
