Halloween 2017

Halloween is back in 2017, and this year it’s loud enough to raise the dead!

Due to the little gremlin that is haunting my house this year, I had to forego my typical village setup.  Instead of the sprawling landscape down near my front windows, I have opted for several smaller setups perched on some of my taller furniture.  While this means I had to leave several pieces in storage this year, it was fun figuring out how to break my village up into smaller theme groupings.

My favorite by far is the first annual Halloween Havoc Rock Festival hosted by the Harley-Davidson Ghost Rider’s Club.  Headlining this ghastly affair is the biggest band in the underworld, Bone Jovi!  Whether it’s listening to the band, riding the rides, or drinking a brew at the Crow’s Bar, this festival has something to make everyone howl!bikersMeanwhile, on the other side of town, residents of my Halloween Village are having their teeth rattled by an entirely different kind of sound.  Mere feet away from the village storefronts, the Haunted Rails train barrels through town at breakneck speed.  This year, the train features new additions the Scary Ghost Hauler and Toxic Waste Car.  The Haunted Rails collection just keeps growing and growing; so much, in fact, that I had to leave two cars in storage this year because my train was too long for my 6 foot, 6 inch buffet table!traintownAs always, I hope this year finds you and yours in the most frightful spirits.  Happy Halloween!
