What Halloween events are happening soon?
It is almost Halloween. Today is the 29th. We're a couple of days away. Boo Bash is tomorrow night. On Friday, you might be able to dress up for work or, you know, go to your neighborhood block party or whatever. But also, some people really get into decorating their yards. And we got Brenda on the phone. We're just kind of chatting about somebody who's... We got your email yesterday, but I wanted to talk to you today. There are, like, really cool Halloween decorations. Like, my neighbor has, like, a graveyard in their yard. Yeah, cool. It's got a fence around it with a bunch of skeletons sitting on the graveyard, stones, whatever. But, Brenda, your neighbor went a little over the top, and you don't like it.
And you're not being a Karen. I don't think you're being a Karen. I think you're justified.
What are the neighbor's Halloween decorations like?
Tell me what's going on, Brenda.
Hey, yeah, we have new neighbors. They moved in over the summer, so this is our first Halloween with them. They have awful Halloween decorations. It's a Texas chainsaw massacre theme. Oh. Yeah. Okay. It's a mannequin holding a real chainsaw with a leather mask on.
Oh, okay. Okay. All right.
And they also, like, use a speaker to blast, like, chainsaw sound effects.
Okay. Now, that's what we call realism there. Yeah. That's good. So, is this just, you don't know, but it's going all the time, even though it's not a
Oh, bless you. Even though it's not Halloween right now, you said that the chainsaw is, are they running it constantly?
They put the speaker on at like 9 o'clock at night.
They put it on at 9 o'clock at night or they take it down at 9 o'clock at night?
Oh, sorry, they turn it off.
Why does Brenda find her neighbor's decor too scary?
Okay, I was going to say, come on. I was just thinking, so what time did they start running the chainsaw sound effect?
I mean, five or six. It's just going all easy.
And there's somebody screaming. What is the rest of the decor in the yard, Brenda?
Yeah, okay, so there's like a mannequin of a woman, her arms missing, and the body parts are sprawled all over the lawn, like a bloody arm and leg. Oh, jeez. It's awful, and you can hear on the speaker a woman screaming and running. It's terrifying.
I mean, it's annoying. Well, you got to commend the commitment. Yeah, yeah, you do. You have to, especially out here, I'm assuming. Like, people out here go crazy because Anoka's so close. I told you over the weekend I went to the house decorating contest, and some people went in. I don't know about real chainsaws and body parts galore, but... I'm kind of impressed, but at the same time, I hear where you're coming from, Brenda.
It's like, all right, how old are your kids? I mean, you got little kids. How old are your kids?
Yeah, I have three and six, so the whole neighborhood is just full of kids.
And so really not really blending with the brand of the neighborhood.
Everyone's got like Mickey Mouse as a pumpkin and then they've got like body parts on the ground.
Mickey Mouse pumpkin and like a little witch or like the Grinch or not the Grinch, but whatever kid friendly. So what are you asking whether your annoyance is justified? Are you asking whether you should go steal the mannequins? Are you asking what is your question, Brenda?
Well, I know it's kind of late now, so I probably wouldn't say anything.
at this point because halloween's almost over but should i ask them to at least turn the speaker off for trick-or-treating so it doesn't freak the kids out or oh i feel like we always have that one you have that like one house in the neighborhood that's like too scary to go up to like in our neighborhood it was that there was a guy that was sitting on a bench next to the front door so if you wanted candy you'd have to walk past this guy who looked like a mannequin but then he'd go And so no one went to that house.
When Carson was about four, he was Darth Vader. And we went to a house just like that. There was a guy sitting on the bench acting like he was a mannequin. And when you came up, he would jump up and scare you. But he saw little Carson coming. He's just a neighborhood dad. He saw little Carson coming up and he stood up and he's like, hi, how are you?
