The first trick-or-treater just came to our door - Halloween is such fun!

Happy Halloween gryfnn. All our trick-or-treaters have been and are long gone (23:40 now in UK). Hopefully they are all tucked up in bed. Although I daresay there are a few with sore tummies. It was well worth 2 large bags of fruit and sweets... at least I didn't get eggy windows this year!

trick-or-treaters are wonderful... do you prefer your's boiled or slow roasted?

I'm an Englishman living in small town America and I've just given out my last piece of candy. I love it. Not totally clear from the photo but there really wasn't anything under me except fog. Many of the kids and a few of the parents couldn't figure out how I did it.

Cool Phil! Wish my grandaughters could have seen this! How did you do it? And Happy Halloween everyone :)

Cos he's really Gandalf the Gre.. err... Purple..!

Oh and its not a false beard :)

Happy Halloween! Hi Phil, you make a rather impressive looking wizard there. Accidentally backed into a roman candle once, got a very similar effect, smoke cloud and all. :O) For those who haven't seen it yet, my Halloween Greeting pic is at the link. Now 'scuze me while I run out to hide in the field, I'm waiting for the Great Pumpkin to rise from the pumpkin patch, bearing all those toys for good little girls and boys - so I can mug em.

Too cool Phil!! Halloween is such a blast ... and you look like you're blasting off! I would have loved to have seen that in person. -Tim

Very cool Phil. That's what life's all about. Way to go.

Happy Halloween Everyone! Very cool picture, Phil. Here's mine from the Halloween party today at work. I'm the Dread Pirate Roberts. I mean, I am Wesley pertending to be the Dread Pirate Roberts. Actually, I am Jay Button, pertending to be Wesley, pertending to be the Dread . . . Awww, nevermind. :) Jay

Neat effect Phil! Yowser! Cantilevered? A climbing or construction harness would be comfortable enough to sit in, and the robes would cover it. That artificial fog is even colder? I hope you were wearing long woolies! Carolly

You do look like you are blasting off, did you eat lots of beans and tacos?

:oP

Cool Phil, I would guess, the pumpkin to your left is a post that is anchored to the ground and a support bar is attached to that ,of which you are siting on. How close am I. (smile) Well I just came from a party after one drink of the punch a lot of people were floating too.(LOL)

Possibly your mail box post!

A wooden leg..?

Well yes its either some heavy engineering hidden by the corn stalks or that helium balloon in my right hand is working over time :)

Phil, I'm guessing Mickey is right - does the support post run along inside your sleeve? They must have loved trying to figure it out. Well done - thanks for sharing! (Is that a TV or a computer monitor at the edge of the window at the left of the second photo?) So, if I include a big glass of orange juice, does left-over Halloween candy qualify as a good breakfast? :-)

Yep right on all counts. At one point I had kids all round me, flapping my cloak and they still could not see what was keeping me up. I try and do something each year, going to be hard to top this one next year, ..... but I'll try to come up with something good :)

The monitor? Yes that's my office.

Wow Phil, You make me envious.. No halloween here, though the shops try to build up a hype about it. But it's not a tradition, so... well.. Anyway it looks like it's a lot of fun.

HERE is what happens the day after Halloween ;o)

Oooh - don't they know never to peek under a wizard's robes? Well done is what the little dears could become! Good thing you've got a year to come up with something as impressive. Meanwhile we expect to get P5 fabric/clothing treats from that computer. (BTW - OJ is great with peanut butter cups; don't try it with Twislers or Smarties.)
