In 1994 and 1995, we were too busy having fun to even think about taking pictures of either the house, the Halloween party or the guests. We've got a little unofficial contest as to who comes with the best costume - I think someday, I'm going to begin a new tradition of some sort of spooky awards for those in attendance.  

We add a little something new each year.  1999 was a fog machine, 2000 it was fun with black lights, 2001 & 2002 were a couple self-inflating props. There's an FAQ on black lights and what glows, plus fogger information. With the black light, the possibilities are endless! Lots of common household items glow  <Evil grin>  Secret messages on glass & mirrors that only appears when the black light flashes on . . . and of course, there's a fountain in the front yard . . .

So below are links on a year by year basis . . . and I've separated the Bates Motel Bathroom since its an annual "must-do" and favorite of our guests. I was either too busy to think about grabbing the camera, or I've misplaced the pictures or roll of film, or photos just didn't come out for 2000-2004. In 2003 we were just experimenting with our new digital camera & the camcorder with so-so results. But now I think we've got the hang of it.
