Our California Halloween

So Andi and I had our first California Halloween this year. Technically, we were back from China this time last year but we were fighting jet lag, homeless, and didn't have anywhere to celebrate. This year however, I had lot's of space to decorate just not enough decorations!!!

Entrance to our little apartment complex. I did some chalk outlines on the driveway with some fake blood. However, out of 364 sunny days in California it decided to rain this day and washed everything away just when it started to get dark.

The entire fence lit up with orange lights on the fence and purple spiders on the overhang. I took the masks on the fence and put orange glow sticks inside of them to make it look like they had eyes. Also had the entire stairs lit up with lights and covered in cobwebs!

Had a skull the changed colors inside and bubbled smoke out of it's eyes. Also found these cool gourds that looked like strange things out of the sea and weird looking eyeballs!

Did a little "bone coming out of my arm" attachment!!

Andi and I were zombies(Andi was a zombie chef! :P). Used gelatin, fake blood, liquid latex(with oatmeal for texture), lot's of conditioner in our hair(for a greasy look) and black and green makeup to make us look diseased.

Overall not a bad Halloween. We didn't get a lot of kids(maybe 20-25) most likely due to the fact that it started raining by 8pm. Defiantly will buy more decorations and make it even better next year!!
