Halloween HORDE

Wednesday November 1st 2006 02:04 PM PST

So the night started off slow. Jen does all the answering the door cause I've got social anxiety disorder, and I can't deal with that many people. :) So we counted about 30 kids in the early evening, and we thought things were going to stay slow all night. There was a LOUD haunted house 2 doors away from us, and we heard from a couple people that it might be scaring a lot of the little kids away from our end of the block. Well it didn't. The Hordes of kids started coming like crazy. The haunted house was at full volume, and you could hear nothing but distorted creepy music and screaming kids. Kids would come in wave after wave, and Jen would sometimes just keep the door open as kids walked up to the door. She'd get back to the tally sheet that we'd set up, and sometimes have to mark 30 at a time. We hit 260 kids and they cleaned us out of candy. It was almost 9PM when it happened, and the haunted house pulled the plug too and the street was peaceful again.
