The haunted house, well driveway I guess we will have to call it, went well. Great things happened but unfortunately no pictures. One of my friends is a black belt, so he brought his full suit, which was black, and wore this great skull mask--best costume of the night. Another friend had a Joker mask and just sat limp in a chair and then would start screaming and twitching. My other friend just had some dark clothes with a faceless mask and a chainsaw (without the chain). I had a costume made up of many other costumes. I had this evil pig costume that I put some stage blood on, a grim reaper gown thing, a plastic ax, a gorilla claw and another glove-type thing that made my other hand look like I was holding a limb I ripped off a body, and I held this staff of skulls. My main hiding spot was in a tall shrub that has grown in a way that I could stand in it and people could see my mask but I just looked like a prop. There were strobe lights, body parts laid out on the driveway with stage blood spilled on it along with props.
My second scare was probably one of the best of the night. This kid, probably a young teenager was tentative to come up the drive, but he did so. The kid with the Joker mask did his thing, the kid jumped a little. The kid got his candy from the mom handing it out. As soon as he got it, my phone started to ring (forgot to turn it to vibrate), so I had to do something without giving myself up so I rustled the bush a little, he jumped, and then I jumped out at him screaming as loud as I could and chased after him to the end of the drive. He proceeded to run half a block. My friend with the chainsaw was brilliant as well. He would start it, rev it, shut it off. Scared people, but then he would shut it off, walk to the end of the drive with a limp and the saw dragging behind him on the cement...created a great creepy sound that scared them more. My friend, the ninjutsu, is great at keeping still and with his costume it was hard to tell if he was real or not. That alone scared people, especially when he only moved. Sometimes he would hide behind trash barrels that were set up as props and was able to toss them if people were hanging out in the road not wanting to get closer. But these people hanging out in the road, it became a trend. So I had an idea. My G was parked directly across the street from the drive. I had my keys in my pocket. I would let people gather there for a few seconds and hit the alarm. Man was it great.
The best scare we had was this group of older kids...yeah, go figure. They were really tentative on coming up the drive, as soon as they entered the drive, ninjutsu and chainsaw started crawling on the ground from hidden areas in the grass. As soon as they started running, ninjutsu ran after them and chased them down the block. The kids came back, sayin stuff like, "Yeah, we ain't scared," or reppin their block and what not. This time they approached the house from the opposite side of the street and they walked right by the G. As soon as they stopped, car alarm. Half the group went one way, the other half the other way swearing. They came back again. Must have thought chainsaw and ninjutsu were all that there were (Joker was taking a break handing out candy). They got their candy and I jumped out, chased two of them around the drive, one dropped their bag and ran, candy all over the drive.
