found that they were down a person Saturday night, so I was pressed into service on short notice as the gibbering crazy who escapes from a jail cell to press the group on down the trail. All we had in the house was vaseline, cornstarch, and food coloring, but it turned out ok given the inherent limitations of the medium.

Needs more around the eyes, but as I spent most of my time in the dark, no one really noticed. Certainly the black ladies and teenage girls shrieked as if they had not.

I scared Scotty M. so badly when I came down the stairs that he sat in silence for two whole minutes, then burst into tears.

    How long after the picture did you use the vaseline, corn starch and food coloring?

    It lasted a good 2.5 hours with no problem. As I sweated, the food coloring spread out over my head, so that I looked like I had massive head trauma by the end of the night.

    You don’t happen to look like this after browsing through the reader comments, do you?

    The best way to keep from terrorizing your kids is to allow them to watch you while you put on the scary makeup or outfit. Then they know it is you under all that stuff.

    You’re assuming I don’t want to scare my children. :)
    In any case, Ngnat did watch me apply my face, and she still shrieked in terror when I came out of the cage at her.

    Scotty adamantly refused to walk the trail to begin with.
