I love Halloween. Even though I am a fraidy-cat.
This year, we are beginning to pull out all of the stops.
I have a really creepy fake cemetery in my front yard right now. My costume is pretty scary (involves all sorts of pretty gothic elements). I am going to put the finishing touches on the cobwebs on the outside of my home, among other things (I'm replacing the front porch lights with blacklights and a few other things - but I did stop just short of getting glow-in-the-dark contact lenses).
I am also putting together some pretty creepy music/SFX. I have a bunch of creepy natural sounds (creaky floors, wind, etc.) that I will be playing on two stereos outside. And now I'm trying to put together some creepy indoor music.
Does anybody have any thoughts? iTunes is helping out a bunch but I know there are several people who have great knowledge of classical music (which I do not). I am trying to limit it to one-instrument pieces (i.e., organ/piano/violin solos) as opposed to full orchestra pieces. The idea is that for a night my home will become the Creepy Suburb Landscaped Lawn Castle of Count Nosferatu or some such thing. Any kid who dares ring my bell gets extra candy.
