My haunt was definitely a success. After a couple of months of
driving by and asking me "what are you doing this year" the
neighborhood finally got to enter the new tunnel of doom and to ride
the lightning in ole sparky. The chair was a HUGE hit and I got
several people. LOL, it was a big hit with the female adult
visitors. With the orbital sander in the seat and the wand
massagers in the armrests, when activated, it could walk accross the
driveway if no one was sitting in it.

Everything started rocking at around 6:15 or so. Wife got home at 6
and went in to get dinner for the kids going and I was out putting
the finishing touches on stuff, getting the foggers going, lighting
etc. I come out of the tunnel and look down the street and it
looked like a halloween parade moving toward the house. I barely
had a chance to run to the door and yell HELLPPPP into the house.
Of course no one came out for the first 20 minutes so I was on my
own. Good thing I had my beer cooler already set out....I would've
been awful thirsty.

All in all, I'd say a good 200-250 people showed up from all over
the city.

I've posted pics on the website http://halloween.lagemann.org. The
link to the 2005 pics is on the main page right now until I make new
buttons for the java menu and edit the menubar at the top. I'm also
going to be editing and posting select footage from the webcam video
of the electric chair.






A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a
hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a
wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act
alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer,
cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for
insects.
