This is the first costume test we did with just the mask and the outfit.

We did a test the day before Halloween to decide if I was going to wear the stilts.

Halloween night. I sat on a chair behind the door in-between groups of kids.

My skeleton army. It's hard to see in the picture but they're holding axes.

Me in full costume answering the door. With the stilts, I was about 6 1/2 feet tall.

A closer shot of me.

In all, we had 164 kids visit us this year. 12 of those ran away without candy after I opened the door.

It was a very successful Halloween!
