My wife shared a pic with me that she took while we were on our way to the pub crawl. 
Apparently I was dicking around with the cloak trying to get it to sit up and open over the skull (so I could see where the fuck I was going). It looks really odd with my right arm sticking out of the costume instead of puppeting the skelly arm and jaw.

I think I'll work on this Grim Reaper for next year... put some curved shoulder supports so he will just sit on like football shoulder pads, then maybe a belt to hold the rest of the torso on.
I'd love to put a "control handle" in the tricep of that arm with some trigger switches to control the jaw and eye lights (currently I have to move my hand to the back of the skull).

DEFINITELY need to build a giant spider out of PVC and Spray Foam next year!!!!
I already have a 5' tall super posable skelly that would make the perfect "web victim".

Stealing Your Riffs
In my neighborhood, the lots are 2.5 acres. The first year we moved in to our house, we had candy ready for the trick-or-treaters but there were none. The second year I was optimistic that it might be different but, once again, we did not receive a single trick-or-treater at our door.
When our son was born and reached the age for trick-or-treat, we drove him to a more traditional neighborhood with houses close together. Some years, we did trunk-or-treat.
In 20+ years of Halloween here, we have never had a single trick-or-treater show up at our door. This is our scarily sad history of Halloween.
Yesterday, I spent the Halloween evening over at my friend, Ed’s home. He lives in a more traditional neighborhood. 4 Dad’s from the Boy Scout years were there. We all got to know each other many years ago when our kids were in Boy Scouts together. We were the trouble maker Dads who brought pot and beer to the Scout campouts. Our children are all now college age.
We built a fire in a big firebowl out by the sidewalk. We drank beer and shots of bourbon while we handed out candy to the trick-or-treaters. One of the neighborhood Dad’s, who came by with his small children, said he dreams of the day his kids are old enough to trick-or-treat on their own so that he can stand out by a fire and drink. People should have better goals.

I just put almost all of my decorations away. Almost all because I bought a big heavy crow sitting on a wooden cross and I don’t that that I have anywhere to put it. I store my halloween stuff on shelves hanging from the garage ceiling about eight feet above the ground. I really don’t want to haul the crow up there and pull it down again next year. I might just move it behind the patio fence and leave it out like an ugly Frontgate statue.
