Labor Day is this weekend and is considered the end of summer ... but it's also time to start getting ready for Halloween ... so I have re-enabled commenting on the Halloween Blog. I'll be setting up the halloween decorations in a couple of weeks and expect the halloween decorations webcam online around October 1st. Read about what is new for halloween 2009 and here's a Hulk'in picture of what the display looked like in 2008.

My two sons and I will be taking the halloween decorations out of the basement crawlspace this weekend, so inflatables and pictures are coming soon. Speaking of ghosts, I thought people might like this long-exposure, multi-flash picture of our Guides from a rafting trip down the Green River this summer.

I apoligize for my loser comment. Untiill i see an apology i will no longer be posting. Also, eveyone stop asking ALEK when he's putting his halloween decor up. He said in post # 28 that he would be putting them up this weekend. Ok, everyone hold their horses if you can read you would not have been asking that friken question. ALEK I've been watching the webcams for over 2 years now. After Christmas 2009 I'm leaving this crap.

This weekend got pretty busy with family stuff (plus kids are playing Little League baseball today), so I'm a bit behind schedule ... but progress is being made behind the scenes and you will start seeing stuff soon. Not sure if I'm going to have things fully operational by October 1st, but I'm going to try! P.S. Chris: Loaner unit is they may send me a webcam to try for the holidays.

As noted in post #73, we were pretty busy this weekend doing non-halloween family stuff ... but with help from Dirk-n-Kyle, we moved most of the Halloween Decorations from the basement crawlspace to the "scary" room (we really do call it that!) and are ready for deployment. A new addition this year will be the Headless Horseman! ;-)

Rest assured that while you don't see too many changes yet (although the Skulls and roof icicle lights are up per webcam snapshot below), I'm working away. For instance, I've taken the Hulk Brothers out of storage and inflated them - "pumped them up!" The older one has a rather nasty leak on the left arm seam that opened up again (must not have been using deodorant?) that will be difficult to patch... and the younger one has a flat right foot. I will be mowing the front lawn tomorrow so I can then start deploying stuff there. Still hoping to have things up (and X10 controllable) by October 1st, but we'll see.

Yep - as mentioned in post #103, I've setup some inflatables in the front lawn - video available here. Today wasn't the best day to do this, since the winds are gusting to 40MPH ... but hopefully the wooden bases and concrete pavers will prevent 'em from moving around too much. I'm not going to have everything ready by tomorrow (full refunds available!), but I do hope to have some stuff X10 controllable and webcam1 may be operational.

Alek replies at 18:22 - A LOT of stuff is not controllable yet ... such as the icicles. As noted, the winds have been howling at 50MPH+ ... should calm down tomorrow with LOTS more to come. Also, that is "Heads-Up Harry! ;-)" Finally, the display wasn't up & running for even 10 minutes before the first neighborhood kid stopped by. Ty lives a few doors down and "has been looking forward to it all year long" ... but asked "where's the Hulk?!?" It's always fun seeing the smile in the kids' faces, especially when I let 'em play with the X10 controller and "battle" people on the Internet for control of my Halloween Decorations! ;-)

Some neighborhood kids were pretty cute tonight. One had a wireless laptop across the street watching the site. The second kid would go "hide" behind the inflatables ... and then the first one would have to "find" them on the webcam - high tech hide-n-go-seek! And talking about a good time, my kids are watching the Colorado Rockies play the LA Dodgers in baseball ... and Kyle comes running in after the Rockies score two runs! ;-)

Hello Halloween fans from all over the world. I have been away for awhile. Still traveling with hubby across the country. Mr. H, I have been near your home base a few times. Mr. G, haven't even come close yet! Gil and Luke, fat chance in a semi truck. Happy Halloween and hope the lights come back on soon.

Comcastic is still down, so no Internet (or TV) at the house for the webcams - started at 11:03AM this morning. Probably a major outage as my neighbors are affected and the 1-800 line says heavy call volume and they are aware of a problem. So unless it comes back up real soon, there won't be a show tonight - sorry.

Wow, I remember coming here for Christmas two years ago, forgetting about it last year, and now just remembered this site when someone mentioned halloween..lol. I Always wanted to do this with my Lights I do, about 16,000 and all white with single accent colors..I researched it but never bought the SSR's to do it, plus I don't know how to write a c+ program to control them from the serial port of my computer..Maybe you could help... So will Christmas be bigger than the little bit I remember from Last year?

For those wondering about the Hulk (both of 'em), they are about the last thing to add to the Halloween display ... since it is hard to work around 'em once they are up - HEY, they are big! But they are waiting patiently (as patient as Hulk will be) in the backyard ... although they aren't too happy about the cold overnight temperatures.

The neon inflatable skull is buried under the snow - you'll see it tonight ... despite it being run over by a lady who was turning around in our driveway - D'OH! Also, the Colorado Rockies playoff game #3 was cancelled due to snow ... but at least in my yard, they were able to "bust out" of the snow. Time-lapse video here and you can also mouseover the image to see the snow fall off of the monster Colorado Rockies baseballs! halloween colorado rockies baseballs

Ooops ... fat-fingered the HTML on the movies page with the duplicate entries - fixed - thanks!
Inflatable Grim Repear was been replaced by SpongeBob SquarePants ... he just wouldn't stay up.
On the roof is a "hangable" Grim Reaper dude - I'll take a picture sometime and post here.
The Skull was missing - gusty winds last night blew it almost into the neighbor's yard - D'OH! ;-)

DW12 pretty much summarized the webcam situation correctly ... and speaking of which, since the Rockies are playing Philly tonight, I inflated the monster baseballs for good luck. The Christmas Webcam fires up around Thanksgiving, so cam2 will go live then. And let me think about putting the Grim Reaper out on the gravel ... but may not work.

One fun aspect about running this website is the variety of interesting Emails sent my way. Many make me chuckle and some are educational ... such as a delightful note I received from Jules Shepard who shared her gluten-free pumpkin pie recipe. I noticed Bourbon as an ingredient and questioned using Rye Whiskey ... and she pointed out that distilled alcohol (ditto for distilled vinegar which I did know) is actually gluten-free and OK for Celiacs. She has written an entire chapter about this in her book "The First Year: Celiac Disease and Living Gluten Free" and provided this excellent online summary. Remember that non-distilled beverages, such as (non-GF) beer, are not safe. So while my kids are still way too young to be having alcoholic drinks, I thought I'd share that tidbit as I thought Celiacs were limited to mostly wine and Margarita's! ;-)

Alek replies at 19:30 - My wife isn't overly thrilled about the outa-control holiday decorations, but in a pinch, she could help out. Remember the webcams are using wireless to communicate, so sometimes the 802.11 signal drops out. It's not often, although seems more frequent when we fire up the microwave - D'OH! ;-)

Since the Colorado Rockies lost to the Philly's in playoffs, it's time to say goodbye to the monster baseballs. First image is just before deflation and putting 'em away ... and here's the video. And speaking of the Rockies, some friends had an extra ticket and took Dirk to game #3 of the playoffs last Sunday. It was darn chilly for baseball and Dirk was excited about scoring a practice ball ... as you can tell from the second picture!

A TV crew stopped by last night - they are doing a segment on hoaxes. Kyle Clark & Anne Herbst from 9News were very pleasant and put up with all my ramblings about the Great Christmas Lights Hoax of 2004. Some time-lapse video from webcam1 and webcam2 plus my wife took a few pictures - mouseover the images to see another view.

Alek replies at 17:24 - I've added some additional debugging code to try to track down this very annoying problem that I can't replicate. After an hour+ of heavy X10 "pounding", the CM19 USB controller craps out and has to be pulled out and pushed back in to reset. After that, all works well again.

The Grim Reaper's fan isn't that strong, so today's rain/snow is weighing him - hopefully he will dry out a bit. KFC sent me a bunch of coupons, most of which I've given away for charity, scouts, etc. The $1,000 Grand Prize went direct to Celiac Disease Research. Thanks for the compliment Traci and glad you enjoy the website. The 9News segment should air tonight - will be curious how I am portrayed as you don't know which snippets they will select and emphasize - I asked several time if they could mention Celiac Disease.

Alek replies at 23:13 - As noted near the bottom of the halloween webcam page, there are just over 7,500 lights for Halloween 2009 drawing almost 30 Amps - i.e. about two hair dryers. Per the math, works out to about ONE dollar a day. So while yes, I notice the increase, it's not as much as many people think it is.

The 9News shot (see blog post #394) aired last night on TV. I had predicted to my wife that I'd probably get 15 seconds of airtime - it was actually 12, plus 22 seconds of archival footage from 2004. HEY, where's my missing 3 seconds of fame darnit! ;-) Seriously, Kyle Clarke and Anne Herbst did a nice (and entertaining) segment about Colorado Hoaxes which you can view here ... and be sure to watch to the end as the Telmosse story is very heart-warming. Speaking of videos, I stumbled across this how to control my holidays lights tutorial and Tudave has a funny "Christmas 2009 is coming" video up.

Alek replies at 17:43 - I didn't do anything wrong. From 2002-2004, the lights were real, but the webcams and X10 control was a simulation - the technology just wasn't there yet. But the media got a bit carried away and it spiraled outa control - all fully documented in my writeup abou The Great Christmas Lights Hoax of 2004. After that, I did it for real - i.e. the webcams and X10 controls have been a 100% real since 2005 (lets just say the media actually did some checking in subsequent years!) as is the almost $40,000 raised for Celiac Disease - also read more at the University of Maryland's website. P.S. Luc: See post #421 for the how-to video.

this snow is crazy....also ALEK will the controls be canceled tonight?
Alek replies at 14:38 - NO WAY ... only thing that has shut down the show in 5 years was when we had a total city-wide power outage. And since it is grey outside, I'll turn things on an hour early at 5:00PM since you can see the lights. One challenge will be the inflatables as I have to periodically brush off the snow, especially when they go down. So keep the Pumpkins, Grim Reapters, Frankenstein, and Homer inflated tonight!

alek will the decorations be off today because of the snow, or turned on early ?
Alek replies at 12:03 - Except for a city-wide power outage a few years ago, the decorations are on every night ... although yea, they struggle a bit in the cold snowy weather ... but it's more fun to battle the elements. But since Frankenstein struggled to "get up" this morning, I brought the inflatables into the garage so the snow could melt and fired 'em up so they would dry out. The fan in the Grim Reaper barely has enough power to fully inflate him so hopefully he'll stand tall tonight ... until someone on the Internet deflates him! ;-)

First picture was taken this morning (after the snow had settled a bit!) showing a ruler (with a 10" extension) plunged into the snow on top of table on our stamped concrete patio - yes, we got a lot of snow! Schools were cancelled again, so needless to say, the kids enjoyed another snow day as seen in the next picture. Dirk takes "cover" in his fort and then pops up to fire a snowball at his friend Sam!

Shelly Schlender at KGNU Public Radio in the Republic of Boulder invited me to chat for a few minutes this morning. Since their studio is just a few minutes away from the kids' school, I asked if they wanted to come along, but they would be about 40 minutes late for class. Needless to say, they said SURE ... but (of course!) I got permission from the Mom's first. The kids were in costume for school Halloween activities, so we were quite festive and had fun in the studio as seen below - how cool if they had been on the TODAY SHOW piece yesterday - see blog post #475.

However, I probably will leave things up until Midnight Halloween evening as online traffic is pretty crazy - maybe also tonight.

Nice pictures Alek!! Would be nice to get all that snow here in the UK! What sorta time do you think your first trick or treaters will come?? We've had loads already tonight!
Alek replies at 15:09 - It starts getting dark around 6'ish, so I would expect 'em to start trickling in around then - it comes in waves ... and sometimes a tsunami of people all at once! BTW, last year I put out a spotlight so they were easier to see, but I'm not going to do that this year, so you'll have to look carefully after dark.

200+ trick-or-treaters so far ... but starting to slow down as it typically does after 8:00. Good thing, because even though I bought a ton of candy, I'm having to cut back on the monster portions I've been passing out. Adults have been enjoying their libations too - one bottle of Baileys is gone, one bottle of Port, and serious dent in the Egg Nog and Tequila!

I think Halloween 2009 is over since there tends to be very few trick-or-treaters after 9:00 and I haven't seen any in a while. My guess is close to 300 people came by in waves plus the occasional tsunami!

I had LOTS of candy so was pretty generous handing out multiple items to each kid ... until near the end when I realized I was running out (D'OH!) ... and ended up having just two bags left. The adults finished off one bottle of Port (dented another), one bottle of Bailey's, most of the Egg Nog whisky, and about half of the Tequila. Super fun time by all ... especially me as I really enjoy seeing all the smiles ... a few pics below.

Massive amounts of web traffic (as typical every year - screenshots here) with 1,373 IM's on the Haunted Office laptop ... interesting enough, just 44 more than last year. And relive the entire crazy evening in a minute via the time-lapse video via Webcam 1 - 2 - 3

I started with a LOT of Candy ... but only had two bags left! ;-)

So I'm finally wrapping things up from all of the craziness Halloween night ... so figure, HEY, lets stay up just a little longer and see what happens when Daylight Savings Times ends. Pretty uneventful on the computers (time just goes back an hour) ... although Windows XP has a minor bug in that if you have the clock up, the time is reset, but it still says Daylight Savings - resets to Standard Time when you restart the app. But one cool thing was the large Atomic clock I have in the Haunted Office. It all of a sudden started auto-advancing at 2:00AM ... 23 hours around to 1:00AM ... kinda cool!
Update: And since time moved "backward", this blog post shows up as earlier than Paul's even though it was actually done a half hour later.

I spent a couple of hours and took everything down outside. Still need to store it away and work on the Haunted Office, but the takedown goes much quicker than the setup. I'll leave the blog open for comments for a few more days, and then we'll call it a wrap for Halloween 2009. And yes, I leave the icicle lights up on the roof for Christmas (that's about all the stays) - gotta save myself a little bit of work!

I just went through the data for 2009 and web surfers from 113 countries visited the site during October/2009. There is a Google Halloween Map showing the geographic distribution of visitors on Halloween night plus a cool daylight overlay. New for 2009 is the use of the nifty markerclusterer package which groups points together for a cleaner look - it's also much faster than in previous year - for example, it takes 15-30 seconds to load the 2008 Halloween Map.

Alek replies at 15:55 - This is covered in D-11 of the Christmas FAQ ... along with many other technical and non-technical issues.

I think we're ready to call Halloween/2009 a wrap ... so I'm turning off blog comments until next September - come back for Halloween/2010. The christmas blog is open for comments and the christmas lights will go up in a few weeks and I hope to have the christmas lights webcam LIVE after Thanksgiving. Here's one last picture of the halloween decorations on my back patio just before I put 'em away. And once last final look of the house, front yard, and haunted office ... which has one scary looking dude in it - BOO! ;-)
