More Reader Spookiness

It’s Wednesday. I asked all of you to keep your eyes peeled for spooky Halloween displays popping up around your neighborhoods, and plenty of you answered the call! Today, we’re heading to Louisville, Kentucky, for a frightfully fantastic display sent in by Andy. And holy hell, this thing is seriously over the top—and I absolutely love it!

As Andy mentioned below, creating a Halloween display of this size isn’t something you throw together over a weekend. We’re talking weeks of work, and sometimes even months, to bring all those creepy creations to life. But when the end result looks this amazing, every minute is worth it! The bigger, darker, and more terrifying, the better, as far as I’m concerned.

A huge thanks to Andy for taking the time to share his photos with us! Keep ’em coming, folks. Halloween is creeping closer, and there’s still plenty of time to unleash your neighborhood’s inner monsters! (Scroll down for the rest of the photos)

Hey there Keep. Sorry to hear about all you medical woes. That’s sucks man. Hopefully this is the last of it for you. Keep fighting man!

We have a guy in our neighborhood here in Louisville, that puts up an intricate Halloween display every year. Normally it takes him about 4 weeks to put it all together. This year I think he started around the last week of July. I drive past it every other day and never stop. But today I decided to stop and take some photos. No “blow up” decorations in this thing. I’m seriously impressed with all the horror going on in that front yard.

Spooky Characters

It’s Tuesday. I stumbled across this collection of wonderfully creepy characters somewhere on the Internet recently, and they were too good not to share. A little digging revealed that they hail from The 13th Acre, a haunted attraction in Monroe, North Carolina. And if the name alone doesn’t send a chill down your spine, the place sounds like a horror fan’s dream.

This sprawling nightmare features more than 25 acres of fright, a giant midway, fire pits, and plenty of food and drinks to keep you fueled up while the monsters do their best to scare the living daylights out of you. Not a bad way to spend an evening, assuming you enjoy things that go bump in the night!

I liked these photos so much that I decided to gather them all into a little gallery below. So sit back, take a look, and enjoy the creepy characters of The 13th Acre.

Back In the Groove

It’s Monday. I’m a few days out of the hospital now and slowly trying to get back into the normal groove of everyday life. Of course, if you consider having to endure two IV infusions every single day to be normal, then I suppose I’m right on schedule. Thankfully, the girlfriend is an RN, so she can handle the infusions right here at home. That’s a hell of a lot better than making daily trips to a clinic or hospital. After spending enough time in those places lately, I’m in no hurry to return anytime soon.

For now, I’ve been taking it easy and catching up on some horror movies. Last night, I watched Trick ‘r Treat, which is always a good choice during Spooky Season. A couple of days ago, I went back to some old favorites, including Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II, along with Halloween, Halloween II, Halloween IV, and Halloween V. Nothing like spending a few days with ghosts, masked killers, and other assorted lunatics to help pass the time!

With Spooky Season now more than halfway over, I’ve still got a few movies on my watchlist that I want to squeeze in before Halloween arrives. Backrooms, Sleepy Hollow, and A Nightmare Before Christmas are among them. There’s only so much time left before the calendar starts shoving Christmas down our throats, so I’d better make the most of the creepy stuff while I can!

Over in the world of football, the Bears took on the Falcons on Sunday, and we finally got to see Caleb Williams back under center after missing time with a leg injury a few weeks ago. The team came out and played hard, eventually pulling off a 31–23 victory. It’s always good to see Caleb back in action, and even better when the Bears manage to put another win in the books. I’ll take it! Now, if they can keep putting together performances like that, maybe we can enjoy a little less heartburn on Sundays. Then again, this is Chicago football we’re talking about, so I won’t get too comfortable just yet.
