One More

 

I couldn't resist one more Halloween pic when I spotted this guy just after the big day. He had to be at least 12 ft tall and it looks like his eyes glow in the dark. When I was a kid I may have  avoided this place.

The Big Night

 

This place looks spooky but also more friendly than yesterday's house. The kids will love racing up to this porch for some treats.

It's Coming

 The big Halloween night is getting closer and more decorations are coming out. Somehow I found these black pumpkins more scary than the orange ones and together with the dog skeletons this would be a house to approach carefully.

They Are Coming

 

The ghosts and goblins are starting to appear around here. This front garden was filled with all kinds of spooky things.

Happy Halloween

 I love this display out front of a house on a very busy street so it must get a lot of attention. Two undertakers who know their stuff.

Approach The Porch With Caution

 

Witches and ghouls await anyone coming up to this front porch. There are a lot of those tall inflatable ghosts around town.

It's Coming

 

The ghosts and tombstones are appearing all over the neighbourhood. I'm thinking this one must pretty spooky at night when those glow in the dark things light up.

Fierce Beast In The 'Hood

I saw a few of these fierce beasts wandering in the neighbourhood this week. They all seem to have moved away now so it is safe to go out on the streets again.

Ready For The Big Night

There is an apartment building in the Annex neighbourhood that goes all out for Halloween each year. This is just part of their display and on the big night they usually have sound effects and a fog machine as well as lots of the residents dressed up in costumes. It is a great hit with the kids.

A Window Of Dolls

 I spotted this shop window with its rather creepy Halloween window. There is something a bit scary about all those dolls and doll heads looking out at you. I first saw it during the day and went back at night to avoid the reflections.

Happy Halloween

This is an old one from my archives. That domed roof was from an old observatory on the U of Toronto campus. The building became the Student Union building but I'm not sure what its use is now. The domed roof regularly was a target of graffiti artists and this was one of the best examples of that. In the pic we are walking behind University College and getting a great peek of the Jack-0-Lantern.

One More Monster From Halloween

I know the day is gone but I spotted this  monster from the Beetlejuice movie after I had already taken my Halloween pics. He looks like a happy sandworm here and not too scary at all. I'm not a fan of horror films but I did love Beetlejuice.

November Theme : "Great Big Mess"

The November theme for the City Daily Photo Blog community is Great Big Mess and I thought this guy was a perfect example of that. He had a rough Halloween and it will be a while till he is feeling normal again.

Halloween Transportation

This carriage is definitely not suitable for Cinderella as it has always stayed a pumpkin even before midnight. This was spotted at a local garden centre. Happy Halloween everyone!

Black Cat

This has to be one of the best home-made Halloween settings that I have ever seen with the theme being 'an Egyptian tomb'. The tarps are meant to resemble pyramids while we look through and up the porch stairs to the interior of the tomb to see the mummy and the usual decorations. While I was getting ready to take this shot the resident black cat came out and sat itself down right in front of the mummy. Perfect!

It Has Been Rough Day!

This guy hiding out in the bushes has had a rough day and would like to not be disturbed. Too bad there are busy times ahead for him this weekend!

Waiting For The Big Night

Some people are ready and waiting for the big night to arrive. A bit of music always helps. It seems that a lot of people have constructed their own props for Halloween this year.

Finding A Tasty Morsel

I spotted this squirrel helping itself to bits of pumpkin that he has bitten off from around the cut-outs of the Jack-o-lantern.  By the time he is through there may be a totally different expression on Jack.

It's Here!

Halloween is finally here and all of the wee goblins will be out looking for treats. I spotted these skeletons in a shop window a couple of weeks ago and have gone back several times trying to get a pic without a lot of reflections and this is the best I could do with very low lighting in the window itself. I assume the skeletons are looking into the future and let's hope it is good times ahead!

Danger, Zombies Around!

This ghost seems to be the guard for this zombie research facility. I for one would not attempt to enter without permission!
