“I dress up in a costume, put on scary music, fog machine, strobes, and hand out candy ? it’s fun,” he said.
Their Dale Court front yard is filled with 10 years worth of Halloween decorations.
‘We moved into this neighborhood from a dirt road where no one went trick or treating,? he said. ‘I was excited to see kids doing that, so I started to buy some stuff.?
His decorations are spooky, but no guts or gore.
‘It’s fun, more fantasy than scary,” he said.
