The official reprehensor/FSC Halloween Party thread!

[fudge stripe cookays]

So once again, thanks to all the DUers who made the party such a raging success!

This year's was even better than last year's!

Outdoors:
The graveyard (made better this year by solar lanterns on the tombstones, and strategically aimed flashlights!)


Barlow, our vampire.


Our front porch (unfortunately, it was too dark at night- had to wait until morning for a good shot)


The back gate:


Indoors:
Fud--




Close-up of the cake




The lovely YellowDoginTexas with Fargo the Hellhound


The "outed CIA Agent"


Vlad the Impaler, Frida, and a referee


YellowDog (the voodoo priestess), ginbarn (Katherine Harris), and derby378 (Tom DeLay)


reprehensor (Ash from Evil Dead)

Wish we'd gotten pics of everyone, but we were busy socializing!

1. Damn and I missed it!

Had a sick child. Gotta hate that. Looks like you all had much fun. Congrats on what was obviously a great party.

[fudge stripe cookays]

3. Thanks!

Sorry about the sick critter!

Hope he/she/it is feeling better now!

26. Unfortunately

we took her to the doctor and found it is an ear infection so she is not feeling better yet. But, at least we know what is wrong and we are treating it.

2. Oh man, that looks like so

much fun. Great pics! You really know how to get in the spirit! :hi:

4. Dang but that looks like FUN!

I wish I could have made it! :hi: :hug:

[fudge stripe cookays]

10. Me too!

You guys have to make a point of coming to visit in October next year!

Or else!

21. I'm already saving my pennies

[fudge stripe cookays]

24. Yay!

I'm looking forward to seeing more of those "smiley face" shots from you guys!

29. YOU. Are. The. Greatest.

I knew you were going to pull off something great. We're damn well going to come next year, OK? With bells, dammit, and extra spooky stuff. Thank you so much!

:D

[fudge stripe cookays]

31. Thanks hunny!

Yes, you'd better!

You can take over Fargo's room for a few nights. I'm sure he won't mind. If he does, he'll just lick you a lot to let you know he wants it back. :P

You did a great job.

13. It was indeed!

My dormant Martha Stewart gene takes over at Halloween.

17. Only Halloween

What about Christmas?

[fudge stripe cookays]

18. Christmas is a little too mushy....

and overstated for me. I loved it when I was young.

Now I like a subtle underdone Christmas, and a wacky, over-the-top Halloween.

:hi:

6. I love Vlad the Impaler.

:rofl:

[fudge stripe cookays]

[fudge stripe cookays]

11. Thanks!

He's homemade.

Couple of 2 x 4's, some joint compound and black paint, a wig form, a mask, and some cheapie clothes from the thrift store!

[sendero]

14. It was fun....

.... and the backyard fire was my favorite "prop". :)

[fudge stripe cookays]

15. We're glad you made it!

I'm glad we got to use the fire pit this year. It was just chilly enough!

fsc

[merh]

16. It looks like you all had a wonderful time!

Wish I could have been there. Thanks for posting these great photos!

:hi: :hug:

[fudge stripe cookays]

33. Me too!

Maybe next year if you're in the neighborhood....

19. Looks like a lot of fun.

love the costume, but it's a bit inaccurate- you're showing way too much leg! :P

[fudge stripe cookays]

20. Yeah I know.

Al kept threatening to stone me because he could see my feet.

:P

22. Boy, this looked like fun! Sorry we missed it!

You guys really went all out, and I love everyone's costumes!

[Shell Beau]

23. Looks like it was fun!! And very good decorating!!

[fudge stripe cookays]

25. Thanks!

Last year we had the fake stone stuff up over all the walls, with black stuff from above.

But it was a little too labor intensive with the cathedral ceilings, and a wacked-out cat who kept ripping them down!

We decided to go for a more low key look this year.

27. wonderul party, thanks for the invite. And Fargo is a very sweet

hell hound!

It was worth the drive from Fort Worth.

[fudge stripe cookays]

32. He likes you too!

He had his nails done yesterday-- finally got a trim (his dewclaws got tangled on Sunday! Ouch!), and a bath with a pretty new scarf.

He doesn't smell quite as bad now!

28. Why wasn't I invited?!?

I miss all the good parties. :cry:

[fudge stripe cookays]

30. Perhaps...

it was the several hundred mile limitation in our distances. :D

I didn't want you guys driving home drunk! Those poor people in Kansas City or St. Louis would never have been the same!

fsc

[Susang]

34. People live in those places?

I thought they existed just for us to have nice scenery to drive through! :evilgrin:

[fudge stripe cookays]

35. Well, when ...

you compare them to the rest of the "drive through places" like Kansas, you may have a point!

:D

[reprehensor]

36. Alright, who brought the Elyse Zinfandel?

Noting the 1992 vintage and noting as well my lack of a cellar, I thought it would be an appropriate time to crack this baby open.

Absolutely fantastic! Easily the best Zinfandel I've had in well, a decade!

Thank you for taking care of it if you had it stored away, or thank you for dropping a few extra bucks on us!

If it's the latter, where did you get it?
