I've seen a lot of write-ups before on people who go all out for Christmas (and I LOVE those in their own right), but wow, this is the first time I've heard of someone doing something like this for Halloween. That comment from that old woman reliving the wonder of childhood in particular got to me =) Good for Ric Griffith, I hope he continues this tradition for a long time to come!

Linkage correctage is in effect! My Viking name is Stinunn Cowcatcher: 'People tend to treat you like a doormat, generally because they know they can get away with it. Other Vikings would be calling you "tree-hugging hippie peacenik" if the phrase had been invented.' Uhh ... hmm. Maybe I'd be happier had the link remained broken ...
