Hey gang.. The rumors of my death or disappearance are greatly exaggerated! Maintaining a number of different hobbies, social outlets, a sometimes busy horror rock band, a recent marriage, an insanely stupid job and every other stupid thing have really kept me from being able to focus on updating Halloween. Since 2019 things have mostly remained unchanged in regard to Spooky Franklin. I set up the haunt and enjoy the holiday but I photographically it's really going to look like it has the last couple of years. I mentioned this recently to the main man Pumpkinrot and he said he had high reverence for the haunts of his youth that remained the same over the years. And I have to agree! So here's this year's Spooky Franklin, caught on iPhone (since I was slam dunk exhausted after setup, the rains and all that jazz) instead of my proper camera. I apologize for the lesser imagery. I'm just glad to be able to share it at all!

SPOOKY FRANKLIN 2019
It was bound to happen. It was so cold on the night that by the time trick or treating was over and I had some time to break out the camera that my hands were completely numb and my eyes were fried from the fire pit. So this year all my shots are sadly iPhone pics..
This year the weather was super complicated so I opted for a simpler graveyard scene instead of the larger fence/sentinel setup. I have three full available scenes that at some point will combine for a massive yard haunt experience some year in the future when it's not raining or freezing..
Maybe 2020. Until then - enjoy!

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
Enjoy the pics and head on over to Flickr for all the pics! https://www.flickr.com/photos/jeanoroid/albums/72157703029586214
