Enter ghoul and Kill Bill extra, stage right

Using candy to lure in dinner, Aaron watches and waits for his next young victim. Aaron was a ghoulish thingamabob and I was a Kill Bill extra (still wearing my vintage Asian dress with my long sword strapped across my back) We actually had a lot of candy left over this year... in no small part because Aaron sent many kids running from the house without any candy, lol. Typically he'd just play up his role when he opened the door, but occasionally I'd get into the act by acting out various scenarios. ...my favorite getting to whip out my sword (not sharp, but real) and protect the trick or treaters by driving the fiendish beastie back into the house. It was also hilarious to see Aaron silently follow the older kids who were too cool to be scared at the door... and watch them freak out and run when they realized he was hovering behind them. And although not in the same category, equally funny to watch a mother coaxing her 3-4 year old girl to say thank you to the scary growling ghoul that just gave her candy.
