We dug a 4′ hole in the flower bed in the entry way to our home. We put my teen aged sister in the hole (face made up). We used plywood, cut so that her head could poke out and covered the wood with dirt. It appeared that her head had been cutoff and was sitting on the ground. I sat in an old chair dressed as a lumber jack with an axe across my lap. This added drama and security for her. She would be very still and occassionally wink or stick out her tougue. Kids freaked! We also “hung” my brother from a tree (in a body harness) and buried a freind in a grave with a stone reading “Lizzie Borden”. Her arms stuck out holding a hatchet. (We had a special headstone made to conceal her head.) To top it off, we put the candy in the top tray of an old hump back trunk and placed a live turanchula on it. We get pretty wicked sometimes. Halloween is my favorite holiday.
