This year the haunted house was kind of a low key event. The kids came and knocked on my door and asked for a repeat. I tried recruiting some adults but everyone seemed not to be very interested.
It was going to be a meat locker with paper-maiche pieces of meat hanging on hangers. Instead, I opted for something more avant-garde and austere. Plastic sheeting cut into strips and hung up with noise rock played in the background.
I learned that most kids find the music I listen to terrifying.
