Tonight I'll be dressed up in my witchy costume once again as I hand out full size Snickers to those coming by and saying "Trick or Treat".
I posted this last Halloween and am sharing it this Sunday, Halloween 2010. So please join Chari at Happy to Design for her Sunday Favorites.
This is "Jack" -- the Lantern that welcomed Trick or Treaters at Linderhof on Halloween.
Under the portico is my Witch's Lair -- my Pumpkin Palace . . . with a row of plastic jack o lanterns with electric votives lining the drive way up to the Witch's Lair to the large real jack o lantern by the "Witch". A plastic tub/cauldron of full size candy bars await the trick or treaters!
Ravenswood the Crow and a rusty candelabra add to the ambiance of the Witch's Lair.

Now the pumpkins are put away . . . the witch's costume is ready to be put back in the attic.
Halloween 2009 is just a memory!

I'm sure the children all love to come up your walk, Martha - perfectly spooky!
Martha, I love your whole witch's lair and I'm sure the children do, too. Happy Halloween!
Trick or Treat!!
I love Snickers.
Martha,
The allure of mystery will be bewitching at Linderhof this evening. Enjoy those neighborhod children. . .for they grow far too quickly!
Fondly,
Pat
Martha, what a great idea! I'll keep it in mind for when my grandchildren are older...
Hi Martha...
Well my friend, it looks like you had a great time passing out the trick-or-treats as a witch! Hehe! Too cute! Thanks for sharing your halloween with us for Sunday Favorites this week!
Warmest autumn wishes,

What a fun post! Thats a great idea you have. We go all out at our house also.
Your post reminds me of a lady I once knew. She was very active in a community playhouse and had the talent to do a make-up job that would equal the wicked witch from the Wizard of Oz.
Every year she would dress up and go sit beside her front door in a mannequin still pose. Nothing the kids would do could get her to flinch or blink.
He husband would answer the door and tell the kiddies that they had to ask the witch for their treat but that she would only respond to those who said the magic word.
Unless the child said please she did not move. When they did she moved in very slow motion and took her hand with the treat from her pocket and held it out to be taken from her palm.
As word spread the lines got longer each year with children determined to make the wicked old witch flinch.
