Don’t give her any ideas. The DIY center we work at is having a safe Halloween experience for kids tonight. There’s going to be food, treats, activities, and the kids are going to judge the Halloween displays different departments make up. We got an email that our department was one ‘required’ to decorate. The winning department gets pizzas. The one guy in my department is all gung ho about winning. The rest of us could care less. He has been doing everything by himself. I felt guilty about not participating and brought in some scary decorations last evening. Yesterday he took a small gazebo and wrapped it in black building plastic in order to turn it into a haunted house. Inside he rigged up some lighting effects, including a lightning and thunder machine. I added a flying ghost that runs on a chord, a strobe light skull, a flying bat, a spider that falls down on a string activated by noise, and a life-size scary evil clown. There also is a scary skulls and bones doorway that makes sound effects and the bones move by sensor to open up and let the kids into the haunted house. We also are piping in haunted music. Well, the college girl wanted to check it out last night after we finished. So as soon as she went in (in the dark) Luke turned on the electricity which set everything in motion, including shinning a spot light directly onto the scary clown with red blinking eyes (which is hanging in the middle), and she let out a blood curdling scream. You could hear her scream throughout the entire building... and it's one big building. A manager came running thinking someone had a accident. Luke and I were rolling on the floor laughing. I can’t repeat the words here that she used on us. She said she hates clowns and will have nightmares now for days. What a wimp!
