Making Gideon Hackles Proud

This year's "Greeter" prop at our front walkway on Halloween night will be "The Chiller". The Chiller is composed of a matching Trick-Or-Treat Studios mask and hands and two different colored robe costume parts. The Chiller is holding a ghostly blue candle lantern for some visual interest. Our Greeter props are basically the guardians to the entrance of what we call "The Gauntlet" in our haunt at this house. It's our ~ 25 foot long walkway that goes from the top of our driveway up to our front porch. In the spirit of Gideon Hackles, if you can brave our haunted gauntlet, then you are rewarded with a treat (this year a full sized Kit-Kat bar and mini box of mystery flavored Ghost Dots). Most trick-or-treaters brave the gauntlet and earn their treat, but over the years several have stopped dead in their tracks at the Greeter and decided to take a pass on our house on All Hallows Eve.

  1. The greeter is terrifying. As an older kid no problem but under the age of 6, I probably would have taken a pass.
