Drive-by Haunting

Rot sent me the link to this picture someone took of part of our haunt on Halloween night, I thought it was really cool. That's my wife, Andi, in the costume. I love seeing pictures that other people have taken of our haunt.

Remembering John Wolfe of Season of Shadows

I have thought about John Wolfe of Season of Shadows often since he passed away earlier this year. I wanted to do something in memory of him as part of my haunt this year, and it wasn't much, but I used a red light to illuminate our house. Anyone familiar with Season of Shadows probably remembers those red lights that he used in his haunt. It was one of the things that made his haunt unique, in addition to his amazing props. He was always so kind when I talked to him, and always had nothing but good and encouraging things to say about my haunt. I felt bad that I didn't even know he had been sick when I heard about his illness. I like to think that he is still celebrating Halloween on the other side, and continuing to bring joy to others.
