Ticktin Family Web Site

Ok, so we got a bit out of control for Halloween. Brad and Andrea Sniderman joined Audrey, Neil and Jordan in decorating the house. Brad (7) and Audrey (2) carved 9 pumpkins in elaborate fashion. Neil built a pillory (aka stocks) and 17 tombstones. And there were assorted other decorations.

Halloween night saw 6-700 kids come to the Ticktin House for some 1200+ pieces of candy.

The Culprits:

The Front of the House:
In the front of the house, you can see the tombstones, skeletons, pillory, pumpkins and more. The fog machine was in the back to provide the proper graveyard ambience.

The tombstones were cut out of particle board, painted gray, painted again to look like sandstone or granite, and then lettered with sayings stolen from the Disneyland Haunted House and other sources. They had rods fastened to the back to stick into the grass.

The final list of tombstone sayings was:

E. Turnal Bliss	Trip Tanfell	Daisy Pushen	Theo Later
Nick O'Teen	MS Windows	Dustin T Wind	Alby Back
Fido	Scully Ton	R G O'Mortis	M T Tomb
Reserved	B R Knee	W R M Food	Rust N. Peece
Ray N. Carnation

Audrey gets what she deserves:
Here's Audrey, the sexy witch, in the pillory (aka stocks) that Neil made.

I'm Batman!
And every good web site has yet another picture of the kid -- in this case, Jordan as Batman
