| THANK YOU TO ALL |
November 3, 2007
 Another Halloween has come and gone now. It's always sad when the counter on this site needs to be reset for another year. As of this writing, the counter above me reads "362 Days, 6 Hours, 56 Minutes, and 12 Seconds until Halloween 2008." That's far too long when you've had as much fun scaring people as I had just a few nights ago.
I'll start this year's thank yous by thanking (yet again) my wife Aprille for tolerating my sickness. I'd also like to thank my brother for being "Death," my friend Eric for being both a pirate and an eight foot tall demon goat monster, Aprille's cousin Laura for being a shambling pirate zombie in our graveyard, and Laura's boyfriend Chris for handing out candy. Thanks for the help. I couldn't have pulled it off without all of you!
Finally, thanks to everyone who ventured out here for a look at this year's grandiose display. I had fun trying to scare everyone from the kid that gave us butterfingers to the girls who saw me trip over the rope and everyone in between. We hope to see you all again next year!
This year I'm putting out a call for photos! If you came by the Unpleasant Street haunt this Halloween and took any photos of the props, actors or yoursleves, we'd love to see them and share them in our photo gallery. If you're interested in sharing, please e-mail your photos to webmaster@unpleasantstreet.com.
Now for some stats on what transpired here. This is just a little bragging I like to do every year.
- Number of Trick-or-Treaters: About 100
- Number of adult visitors: I have no idea
- Number of flyers posted: 100
- Total wattage of foggers used: 2600
- Total wattage of lighting used: 1700
- Times circuit breaker was tripped: 0... woo hoo!
- Hours to set it all up: Far too many
- Hours to take most of it down: Less than 1, thanks again to my helpers
- Number of new props: 7
- Unique visitors to this site in October: 11234
- Number of visits to this site in October: 15769
- Amount of data transferred in October: 10.19 GB
We had some more trick or treaters than we had last year, which was good, but not so many that we ran out of treat bags.
This will likely be the last update for the year and the last update for this site as you know it. I plan on re-vamping the site over the winter to better separate the haunt info from the prop building info. It's time for me to help suspend disbelief by keeping my neighbors in the dark as to what I'm up to. Gotta scare 'em with new stuff they don't expect. Have a nice winter and don't forget to send in those photos!
Until next time...
Stay scary folks!
