I think you should go for it. A little bit of a scare is what keeps the magic of halloween alive and leaves a memory that you will remember the rest of your life. I think you should have him in there and say "welcome children,here is another little trick or treater, come on in AND STAY FOR DINNER" and then lunge out at them. Of course for the real little tots you can use the other routine.

It's Halloween, scare the pants off the little buggers.

Its like a scene out of 'Hocus Pocus' , nothing wrong with that.

 

[RRguy]

I like it!

i say scare the pants off them, but feel them out, we always tone it down for the younger ones who look like they are getting scared and not enjoying it. i think your son is boss coming up with that idea. should be fun

 

[clarec]

Sounds fantastic! Did someone mention Hocus Pocus? I love that movie

 

[bethene]

Yeah, go for it! But, just keep a eye out, and use your intuition, if you think some kids are too scared and tramatized, so much so it isn't ever going to be fun for them, then tone it down, just use your best judgement in a case by case situation. What a great idea, give your son big props for that one!!

 

[hallorenescene]

that's right, in hocus pocus they put the kids in cages. i love that movie too. even somewhat pretty young kids like that movie

 

[WickedBB70]

Thanks for your replies guys! I'll go for it then, and post pictures of the cage when we're done (right now, it's still all in our heads... with ONLY 90 days left.... Sigh!)

 

[hallorenescene]

i can't wait to see the cage you put together, or of your son in it. lol
