We had a bat with a sensor hanging from a tree. A crow sitting atop the mailbox. A 4 foot 2 inch sewer rat, the fog was supposed to be sewer gas. A 9 foot tall spider and a small jumping spider, a remote control spider hiding under the witches dress.

The big draw is the witch holding the bowl of candy whose head flies back and her eyes glow white as she screeches. We have a 2nd bowl of candy for little ones who are afraid of the witch.

A mother told me that her son told her he wanted to come back to prove he wasn't afraid of the witch.

We made up fake foot pads in front of the animatronics to get them close to the critters when grandson and I controlled the real foot pads.

One mother told me that her son made her bring him back this year to show he wasn't afraid of the witch.
