Any disasters? I know some people were affected by tornadoes, high winds, heavy rain etc. The weather was good here which meant that we had more trick or treaters than we have ever had.
I was short on time this year and was forced to rush carving. Still enjoyed it apart from making a massive mistake carving Raven which led me to putting the poor bird out of its(and my) misery.
Inspired by displays and photos of other minions, I was determined to go the extra mile. With The Walking Dead being so popular I bought some second hand fish tanks as I planned on displaying the kins inside them with either a carving of The Governor sat on a wing back chair in front of them or myself sat there complete with eye patch or prosthetic. Sadly, it never came off. The tanks were damaged in transit so I went and bought some new ones. I was quite excited but when I tested it out, it looked rubbish. I could get the tanks lit how I wanted them but the pumpkins didn't work at all. Shame. I now have two four foot fish tanks sat in the middle of my conservatory floor. Guess I will be buying fish again.
Like I said, time was short so didn't have time to come up with anything else but I think I've decided what I want to do next year and need to actually do it next year. For the first time ever, we have neighbours who joined in the Halloween spirit so it bodes well for 2014
