Success

Well the Spook Alley was a huge success. I was amazed how many people showed up. The house was full of adults and kids most of which came in their costumes. The little kids had some games in the graveyard, and got their faces painted and then we kicked everyone out to set up for the real show! Chrissy was the hostess with the mostest and let in groups of kids 2-5. Some of them came alone, some of them came with their parents, but they all left SCARED as can be!


Two of Ke'alohi's guy friends from her 5th grade class decided they would be brave and go first alone. They were almost in real tears and begging me to show them the way out about half way through. I had to coax them in to going through the rest of it. Nick and Ryan both wore masks...and would jump out randomly through the whole thing. I was the story teller and took them through the entire thing telling them the story of Bloody Mary. I had so much fun! It was worth all of the time we put into it.

Thank you so much to everyone that came and helped out! Here are some pics:



Here's the family room, we changed out the walls to old bricks and put up spider webs. This is where the story began....
This is the door to the garage/graveyard...
This is Bloody Mary's Aunt Lisa...
Nick, Me, Julie and Audrey..Julie was acutally Bloody Mary but changed into her grinch costume after the thing ended....
She cracks me up....

This was the secret hallway she took the children she would lure into her home. It was all lit up by blacklights and all the words on the walls glowed! The bathroom was a trap door behind one of the sides on this hallway...


Here's the bathroom where Julie was in the shower and jumped out with a bloody knife!


Here is the boys room. This lighting doesn't do this room justice. It was all black lighs so it was more evil. There were hanging body parts and spiders and the beds were stuffed to look like someone was in them. Audrey was in the closet with a voice changer saying "HELP US!"

This was BY FAR the coolest! They ended up in the grave yard at the end where the townsmen burned and burried Bloody Mary! This room had two fog machines, was lit up by black lights and had two strobe lights. The graves glowed and there was a flying ghost that was on a 25 foot cable and looked like he was floating!

Bloody Mary's Coffin...

more graveyard

I had to wait til the smoke cleared to take the pics. It was so foggy and fun in there!

So, I must say it was well worth the money spent, and the time put into it! HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE and thanks for being a part of our Spook Alley!!!

Thanks for everything Erika. We appreciated the invite and I know the kids had fun even though it scared the crap out of Belle!
