trickortreat?








I made some cracker jack treat bags to give out to the beggars; popcorn, sorghum, honey from our bees, pepitas and a little hot pepper. Just a little hot pepper.  I decided to put in a creepy, black  plastic spider, for the trick.
Later that night,  as we sat down to watch a movie, I opened a leftover package and dumped it into a dish.  What's that!  I jumped when the creepy plastic spider fell into my bowl.  Tricked me!

(p.s. more weird vintage Halloween photos collected here).

Oooooh spooky photos Susan! Especially the b&w one of the 2 children(?) in fancy dress. That was SO bizarre!

Love those hauntingly beautiful images. Bittersweet, is how I would describe it, (which makes the first photo so perfect!)

Pretty funny how your spider tricked you! I love when life does things like that to me - makes me laugh out loud.
