SPOOKY FRANKLIN 2018

SPOOKY FRANKLIN 2018 is in the books. This was not a great year but I made past heart surgery, which really zaps your energy so I had no choice but to downsize the haunt by about half this year. Nobody even noticed and I ended up having way more kids and neighbors than any other year so far. The weather was trying to ruin things and for the first 45 minutes or so after sunset it drizzled a bit, then went into perfect Halloween night weather. It was a good time hanging out in the middle of the driveway watching oldie horrors with befuddled neighbors who had a few too many by then. Next year I hope to be back to normal energy levels.

On a sidenote, my Google domain SpookyFranklin.com expired while I wasn't paying attention. So now Google wants $100 to reinstate the domain. Fuck them. That's highway robbery. So keep in mind if you ever want to visit the blog head on out to spookyfranklin.blogspot.com

SPOOKY FRANKLIN 2013 - PHOTOS

Spooky Franklin 2013 is in the books. That wretched storm front made us move the haunt to Nov 1st. but it was well worth the wait. We had a small get together with some friends including Dead Dick Hammer, Dead Doreen Laveau, Horror host Dr. Gangrene, several Creeping Cruds and our pal Bobby P. We set up an acoustic guitar circle and stumbled through a dozen or so Halloween-ish Cruds tunes..

This year's haunt included Giant Frankenstein, who was put together over the summer, Chang, Eng, a quad of special handmade Pumpkinrot type sentinels, the evil coffin and an all new witch scene. Spooky overlooked the street from the second story as always.

We had many kids and groups of adults stop by - all seemed to really enjoy the haunt - and cars crept by slowly all night.

This was our first crack at Halloween with my new camera and I think our results have improved significantly from prior seasons. Please spend some time digging through the pics and let me know if ya have any comments!

Happy haunting!
