Halloween Decorations (Hover)
Some people just have way too much time on their hands and I think going this far is totally unnecessary unless you are opening a backyard horror show for money.
I think a pumpkin and a few decorations here and there is enough just to show that you are a Roman (you know, do as the Romans do), and to let the kids know that you have treats. I believe the gore part should be left out, especially when it comes to your own home.
I have seen these wreaths (similar to Christmas wreaths that you put in front of the door) made of straw, corn and a few other natural items and I think it is great.
Two things are strange about this kind of Halloween decoration... Why spend so much money and time on just one thing like this? Why fire breathing, I mean you want to hurt someone? And isn't having that over the sidewalk against some kind of regulations - like obstruction?
Its all good fun. The scarier the better but it shouldn't be with gore. There is a difference from being scary and just showing gore. I can startle you, that's scary and it has a better impact than a cauldron full of make believe blood and guts.
