Halloween 2008

Halloween was especially fun this year. Last weekend a group of us went on a 'haunted' tour of an old historic neighborhood in Seattle called Georgetown. While it wasn't exactly spooky, it was quite entertaining in a ridiculous sort of way. We had quite the interesting tour guide and a variety of characters who met us along the way:

An 'entertainer' in front of a former brothel. Rhett thinks this is shady business..


A housemaid telling us about the haunted happenings of this house.. something about dead babies, I wasn't really paying attention!

Rhett and I are scared!! Can you spot crazy Tyler in the background?

Our tour was wrought with quirky guides and actors who obviously had other day jobs.. it really was a comedy of errors and seemed to only increase in silliness as the tour progressed. At one point our tour guide paused in front of some train tracks to attempt to tell us another 'spooky' story and was interrupted by you guessed it.. a train. (Huh funny how that happens) This seemed to be the zenith of the wackiness. I tried to capture it on video..it's dark and probably not so amusing for most - you kind of had to be there to appreciate the humor!

Waiting for the train to pass...

A gravedigger telling us about the dead bodies he has to bury

My famous witch face impression

The best part of the evening was getting to go inside an old abandoned brewery. The entertainment in this segment was much better as it was presented by Circus Contraption - a wonderfully freakish circus troupe.

Cool spiral staircase!

Eeegads, look at the spooky orbs that showed up on camera... Are they spirits??

Halloween night! Rhett wore his Venetian masquerade/Amadeus' father outfit.. he made the cloak himself isn't that cute?

"Wolfgang I am your father!"

Here's my attempt at the Corpse Bride:

Striking resemblance don't you think?? (har har)

Ending the evening with a bowl of fries.. mmmmmm, yummy!
