Halloween Horror Bash 2007
Yet another Bash has passed and now I'm bummed out because we need to wait another year. While I packed up all the decorations I thought of how to set up for next year's Halloween Horror Bash. We had a good turnout and everyone had a good time. I can't believe I did not have any pics of my wife Jill (sorry Jill). Since Jill and I decided not to move, the next party will be at our Wakefield home. I forgot to mention to everyone that our house turned 200 years old this year! Check out the photos below and if you have any to submit, please email them to me and I will update the site. If any of you have suggestions on how to improve the parties, let me know.
This was our front room. I set up a PC with Halloween MP3s set to randomly play all night. The sound card at one point came out of it's slot, but I easily fixed that.
This was the new scary photo we bought for the parties. If you look at it from different angles, it changes expressions.
Jill bought this Haunted Grove on sale. It was pretty cool. The ghost bounced around and the backlight changed colors.
These were a few of our decorations between the front room and kitchen.
This was in our living room. You can't tell here, but I had set up an FX machine hooked to the PC in the armoire on the left. The PC had all kinds of scary sounds (wind, scary voices, screams and various horror sounds) running all night. The room was dimly lit, but when certain sounds were loud enough, the lights in the room would brighten and flash. From what I hear, from outside the house it looked crazy with all the flashing lights. The FX machine even lit the room up when people spoke loud enough. Dan seemed to trigger it the most....."BALLS!!" In the bay window we had a black light making the decorations glow. The grave on the right would scream if anyone got close enough to it.
Close up of bay window.
This mannequin named Stoney had my last years Halloween mask on it (my scarecrow mask). Behind Stoney was a strobe light. I guess this made a few people jump because they thought someone was hiding in this room.
This was our den set up. I had a PC playing random horror and gross out clips all night. The PC was hooked to our surround receiver and TV set. It was very dark and there were glowing skulls and a pumpkin for effect.
Here are a few of the skulls behind the couch in the den.
Our son helped me pick this pumpkin out. I was tempted to make a very scary face on this, but when I was saying good night to him, he said "Don't forget to make a big smile on our pumpkin". So here it is.... our big smiling pumpkin per Liam's request.
This was on our deck out in back of the house. I had the dummy my son and I named Mortimus out there along with our pumpkin.
This is Mortimus.
This is our kitchen decorated for Halloween.
My nephew Curtis J. showed up first. He came as Darth Vader in full costume. Unfortunately I did not get a photo with his mask on.
My cousin Alan H. came as an escaped convict. Looks like he should be on My Name is Earl.
Dan came as the Big Balls lottery ticket. Scratch Balls and Win!
Kris B. came as a Werewolf in full costume......
even with Werewolf feet. Cool!
Bill C. came as Jason from Friday the 13th and his wife Rebecca came as a Witch. I think Bill is one of the few people that could play as a near perfect Jason.
My cousin Jim B. came as what I think is a mad Scottish doctor and his wife Katie was a Vampiress.
Jim P. came as Babe Ruth and his wife Nicole came as a student from Hogwarts.
Gia S. and her husband Rick came as a Renaissance couple.
My cousins Rob N. and Mandy N. came as a Ninja and a female boxer.
Scott came as a Italian pizza guy. I think he ate the pizza on the way to the party because when he opened the box it was empty!
Paul G. came as a gunslinger.
Jill's cousin Joy C. came as a Sorceress.
Fernando F. came as a Death Mage.
Kelly M. came as a sex therapist and Neil S. came as a cowboy.
I dressed as a zombie. As usual I did not have enough time to finish the rest of my costume due to setting the party up. I am pretty proud of the knife gouge I made on my own though. I feel bad because I tried to paint a happy scarecrow face on my wife Jill and it did not come out as I had wanted it to. We'll have better luck next year.
This is Dan M's famous graveyard cake. We can look forward to this delicious treat every Bash!
Kris B. made his tasty chicken wings. This time he placed a talking skull in the middle. Neat!
As always, Katie B. impresses and disgusts us with another sick snack. This baby poop was a humus mix with eggplant and garlic. The baby wipes in back were a flatbread for the humus. Very cool and very sick!
This was the main snack table. I did not get pics of all the snacks, but as usual they were all very good.

This is the hall between the kitchen, den and living room.
Wanted in several counties.

Brainsssssss!
Nicole P. giving the evil eye?
Fernando F. and Alan H. watching horror clips in the den. At one point this tiny room was filled with people. It must've been about 80 degrees in the den at that point!
Paul G. gun slinging.
Rick S. staring at my knife. I must've bumped into quite a few people with it at the party.

Rob N. and Mandy N. in the front room.
Draw!

Scott..... where'd that pizza go??
Watch out for that mullet Dan.
Fernando F. caught off guard.
Rick eating Jill's Swedish meatballs. Those were very good too.
Yup, knifes' still there.
This is one couple you don't want to get angry.
24 hours of video games can cause some bad cramping. Poor Alan's hands are a perfect example.
Fernando must've said something really funny here. Wish I knew what he said.
Me asking if anyone knows how to use my camcorder.
Rebecca filming me reading votes.
Finger food.
Alan hanging out on the back deck with Mortimus.
Cheese Nicole!
Prison buddies.
Some people thought I was tired and had really bad bags under my eyes. I've been tired in the past setting these parties up, but jeeze, not that tired.
All the way from Castle Grayskull!
Hey, Jim just pulled that out, now you're putting it back?
Hanging out in the front room.
Mullets rule.
Reading the votes. Some of the names people wrote were pretty funny.
Katie B. won for best snack (Baby Poop) and Paul G. won for best costume (Gun Slinger)
The prizes were rotten body part lollipops, Blood pops, Halloween noise makers, Halloween glasses and a $15 Target gift card (money was tight this year)
Paul G. as a Gun Slinger.
Katie's Baby Poop snack.
After a junk food high, Alan passed out at the end of the night (more like 3am).
