Question from the other side….of the globe...
Hey there,
As an Aussie we obviously don't do Halloween as full on as you guys however every year it has been picking up momentum. Last year I succeeded in possibly becoming "The Halloween House" in my estate and would like to add to my decorations every year to make it the biggest and best Halloween house in the Southern hemisphere. Hehe. My point (I have a point) is, living on the other side where we have spring during October and daylight savings where it doesn't get dark until 8.30pm - 9.00pm, it can be difficult to make an impression when the majority of trick or treaters visit when the sun is still up. Whilst Halloween decorations are great because they are effective during the day, they are most impressive at night depending on the theme and the decorations I have.
Now my question (and point) is, when you decorate your houses, do you have your house available for public viewing in the days leading up to and including Halloween or do you set it all up and only have it all 'happening' for visitors on Halloween day/night?
I look forward to hearing ideas, tips and any other bits of information from everyone.
Cheers,
Paris
