Nice job on the props Garage of Evil, and I would also like to second Bethene's comment on agreeing with your rant. We do a Haunt every year, We go more for spooky than gore. The idea is to celebrate the spookiness not encourage the sick (in the head that is)
There was an article once about this house who decided for halloween it would be cool to depict an actual car crash with a person crashed through the front windshield. The person looked very real and there of course was lots and lots of blood. A few months earlier there had been a fatal car crash where a high schooler coming home from a football game was killed just up the road from the house. So evertime the family memeber of the highschooler had to go home they were forced to look at the so called "Halloween scene". Now the city got involved and asked them to remove the scene. The family did because they felt pressure. The fact that the family had to be asked is amazing to me. I am not for censorship of any sort and I do believe in freedom of speech. All I'm asking is for a little common sense. So good for you on your rant, I am one more who agrees.
