A Haunted Halloween in Brampton, Ontario

Spooky music echos down the street as weird lights play across moldering tombstones. Spider webs dangle from overhead trees ready to catch unwitting prey. Lightning flashes across the sky just as an unholy scream rends the night. Werewolves howl as other darker terrors lurk among the shadows. Trick-or-treaters beware!

I've been into Halloween my whole life (my last official Halloween as a TOT my friend and I went out as Lepers - just a hint of things to come) but I am relatively new to the whole Haunt scene. It started with a few store-bought decorations and dressing up in costume to jump out at the kids when they came to the door. Later we took the haunt to the front lawn and this was so much more fun - you got to interact with the kids more and could see their reactions better.

Things kicked into high-gear in 2004 with the creation of my Uruk-Hai costume from Lord of the Rings and then in 2005 with tombstones and other props. Every year the plans are even bigger and better. Word has spread among the neighbourhood kids and they really look forward to coming to our house Halloween night. If you're in the area, stop by - everyone's welcome!

Halloween 2012 - Rain, Wind and more Wind! Must be a Hurricane!

In some ways this was the best Halloween ever and in other ways it was the worst! Leading up to Halloween I was doing great getting everything set up early and had several projects on the go. I was also contacted by the Weather Network and had a reporter come out and film a segment which was super awesome and hopefully will lead to more media coverage down the raod. However, the downside of course was Hurricane Sandy which rolled into Ontario just a few days before Halloween and pounded away right up until the big night. To avoid extensive damage I was forced to take down almost all of the decorations and just wait it out all the while getting more and more depressed. Luckily by Halloween it managed to clear just enough to get everything (well, almost everything) set back up again by the time the kids started to arrive. What a panic though! Halloween 2012 photos & video are finally up for viewing along with several updated project pages.
