I don't know. I just rewatched "Pumpkinhead" (1988) last night and I'd say that's pretty accurate.

It's the best non-Halloween Halloween movie out there. Especially the witch Haggis. She's literally one of my favorite witch movie portrayals of all time.

Trick-or-Treater of the Night Award:
Little girl is obviously far too tiny to climb the unreasonably tall and steep staircase leading to our front door, so her dad manfully lends a hand by bodily lugging her up to us. Juniper hands the kid-- who I hasten to emphasize is also much too young to be capable of reading yet-- a Snickers bar. As her dad carries her back down, she looks at the candy with dismay, and holds it out to us over her dad's shoulder, saying plaintively, "I don't like Kit-Kat."

Had a marvelous night here. Upwards of 40 total. A new record! Was worried when there was no one for the first half hour.* Two separate groups of ten kids each helped drive the numbers up. The reason I'm a little unsure of exact numbers is: I utilized several animatronic props this year to good effect. One of them was a scarecrow with a candy bowl in its lap. I definitely heard it go off a few times with no one coming to the door. So, I think at least a few kids grabbed candy, got screamed at by the scarecrow, and decided they were good with that pack of M&Ms.
The jumping spider in the Carport of Horror did a good job of bringing the shrieks, too. Lots of screaming all night=success! One girl asked where my giant hanging clown was this year, so it's cool having repeats/regulars. Another girl, the oldest of her particular group, said "No thanks!" to the Carport. One of the larger groups was all black girls and they were great! Yelling and screaming their way through the short carport as if they were in an actual pro-haunt! And one kid was nice enough to tell me I had the best house in the neighborhood.
So, great night only slightly marred by my Magic getting walloped by the Clippers later.
A lot of home haunters seem to have melancholy Halloween is over, but for whatever reason, I don't. I will admit, I am NOT looking forward to tearing this all down. On the other hand, now that I have a big shed in the back yard, it will be cool to be able to pack it all away in there and have beaucoup room in the house closets and corners again.
*We have specific 6-8 trick-r-treat hours here.

I was happy to very nearly run out of candy, but there were a few pieces at the bottom of the bowl that I nibbled on while watching TV later. Most were Kit-Kats. They're not bad, just blah.

This is how I found Mr. Clown the next morning. I hope to hell he wasn't like that all night.

Nothin' scarier than a clown with its pants down on Halloween!

The shed has proven perfect for storing this ridiculous pile of Halloween crapola I have amassed! Really happy I had that built earlier this year.

Walmart actually had that demogorgon marked down to a reasonable $200 last week.
