Made it through Halloween...

[timiskander]

had the 2nd annual haunted arcade tonite... close to 200 kids and parents came through. Kids _love_ the crane game!!! (It is an awesome way to get rid of old stuffed animals too ) Didn't get many pics, but I put a couple up on my facebook page [ http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2070526&id=1180154654&fbid=1491855134583 ]
And.... amazingly enough... NO GAME DEATHS!!!
had The following out:
Hyperball
Centigrade 37 (pin)
Yukon (pin)
Megatouch
pacman
hang on
Captain Kidd (EM rifle game)
Centipede
Missile Command
Crane
penny scale

+ Candy, hot choco, tea.

It was about 35 degrees and was snowing at 5pm when we opened

My wife said 1 women took about 10 packs of hot choco and a pile of candy.. but I think she was the only one.

good times....

Sorry to hear that. From what I recall you're a fan of Halloween so I'm sure it's a bummer. Hopefully next year will be better.

we alway's do a huge deal on halloween at my inlaw's house, we have been setting up a "spoke house" for year's this year's turn out was the worst ever!!! we alway's spend day's setting it up have thousand's in it just to scare kid's it's kinda disapointing when you have a poor turn out. It's not arcade related but it's cool

But you neglected to mention you're at a new location too, right?

 

[Zud]

Turn out is smaller and smaller each year. Less and less little kids too. I have a feeling in about 5 years it will be an adult only holiday.

 

[Dokert]

Yes, I am at a new location with tons of kids in the neighborhood. I am just glad we didn't go all out like we normally do. Just really bummed about the whole thing.

I live across from a old haunted plantation mansion and we have a haunted yard with a life sized mausoleum and pneumatic operated attractions. We have been doing this for fifteen years now and actually gotten some of the neighbors in to it also. Our new next door neighbor said one of the main reasons they bought the house was because they were Holloween nuts. Last night was a blast with approximately 800 kids and teens coming through and giving away about three thousand pieces of candy. You know you are doing something right when you can make middle schoolers cry........
