Want a scary looking adult size Halloween decoration that will inspire terror on the trick or treaters?
Not willing to pay big bucks for animatronic robots?
Why not hire a vegetative senior for a few hours to sit there with a blanket and a costume for a few bucks? The the strange sounds and unnatural movement terrify people coming up to the door.
Is it alive? Is it dead? Is it undead? Who knows? Walk up to it and poke it to see!
Mummy? Ancient witch? Zombie? Step right up and take the smell test to find out!
I write this because I was helping someone set up decorations this evening, and one of the neighbors stepped out with what I thought was a "hag" Halloween dummy to place on the lawn. But the older Mexican woman kept pushing the form down the street. Then I saw the tongue pop out from the mouth and the horrible gagging sounds erupt from the mouth, and the woman place a bottle of water into the mouth.
Dear God, at that point I knew I was going to hell for what I was thinking.
I asked the person who I was assisting who that was. It was her neighbor and her ancient grandmother.
