Nov. 1st

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Yes I know, I know, we said 2009 was the final year for Haunted Tiki Island, but all we needed was some sleep and a look at the pictures from the night before and we were all like yeah, yeah yeah!! Let’s do one more year!

However, by 11 am on November 1st we had all talked it out and decided we were just being nostalgic and we really were excited to do our haunted carnival theme for next year that we all agreed on two years ago.

So we spent yesterday cleaning it all up and throwing out stuff we aren’t going to use or can’t store.

Good bye paper mache bugs.

Sorry Moth, these webcaster webs actually work.

(Luckily this web has no spiders so he was still alive and got free and flew away when I pulled then webs down.)

Halloween 2009!!!

Haunted Tiki Island 2009

Halloween 2009 was a great night!!! We had 500-600 hundred people come thru. Luckily we had enough candy and treats on hand to get thru the ravenous hordes of Trick R Treaters. Quick thanks to Tricia’s Portland family who sent us a box full of halloween pencils, glow in the dark fangs, and spider rings to give out. That really helped spread out the fun.

As always thanks to Patty and Joe for letting us mess up their house again this year. Thanks to my fellow haunt builders and scare-actors. Thanks to all the Trick R Treaters who came by and had so many nice things to say. Thanks to Hauntforum.com for helping me to learn all this crazy stuff.

I am pouring thru hundreds of pictures and a lot of video. I will start posting those here in the next week so stay tuned. Haunted Tiki Island the yard haunt might be done, but Haunted Tiki Island the blog still has quite a bit more to see.
