While we didn't have as big of a Halloween display as in 2002, we did have some new items. At Target, we bought lovely black-iron shepard's crook style hanging lanterns with spider and bat designs in the glass. These served as an entryway to the porch.

Once again, the life-size skeleton (I think I'll call him Fred) hung from the rafters with a warning "Enter at Your Own Risk" sign.

The door was decked with a black cornhusk and dried-rose wreath, accented by a vintage black cat.

The eaves were strung with purple lights, and orange-purple-green witchicles decorated the picture window where bats cast their shadows and a pierced-tin lantern stood near.
