I’ve reported in the past about the elaborate yard
decorations folks here in the Valley They Call Silicon put out for Halloween. There
was one house in particular, in Sunnyvale, whose owners took weeks to fill it full
of the worst kinds of creepiness around.
You can see the whole thing here,
but just to refresh your memory, here are a couple of shots:
Imagine my disappointment, then, to swing by there
earlier this month and find in progress…absolutely nothing. I was hoping that
they might be procrastinating, but as of this past Monday, this pumpkin was the
sum total of their effort:
Look, this is the yard that last year was dripping with death:
Yeah—just lawn death this time round.
And here's spider dog:
I know that last year was much more elaborate than the
year before, so perhaps they just got worn out. Even so—they have all those
skeletons hanging around somewhere—would it have killed them to perch just one
on their roof? Or sprinkle just a couple of spiders on the dog out front?
I don’t know what the Halloween equivalent of “bah,
humbug!” would be, but I think my neighbors are communicating it.
