What kind of sick monster steals a man's severed head!?!

So I had this new addition to the set-up for the trick-or-treaters this year. I staged a "severed" head in the bushes next to the steps to my house. You couldn't really see it unless you were looking for it so I rigged a motion sensor to some orange lights in the bushes surrounding it and a strobe pointed straight at it. You start to walk up the steps, the lights all come on and you notice the severed head in the shrubs. Meanwhile no-one sees the "alien" on the other side of the steps (fake but could be swapped out for a live ankle grabbing actor... maybe next year.) You scream and the sound activated spiders and ghosts all start crawling/flying around in the black lights. Anyway, half-way into the night I notice I've lost my head! Fell down in the bushes maybe? No. I checked. :(

This is worse than the candy wrappers floating in the witch's cauldron last year. (It's a fog machine so that really could have been a fire hazard.) :wink2:

I was at the door all night, but we had hundreds of people come by so it must have been swiped during a busy period or when the naughty nurse and the German beer wench came by. :tongue2:

Dang hooligans and their shenanigans! I bet it was Michael Vick or The Mob Boss. Sigh. I guess the good news is I can likely get a good deal tomorrow on an upgraded severed head for next year.

Thanks for reading my rant. I feel better now, like the weight of the world has been lifted from my shoulders. :wink2:

Attach a shock training dog collar to it & keep the buzzer on you!
Or get that electric fence tape & put it up like a trip wire!
Yeah I'm brutal,I know.

Oh, I got some ideas for next year believe me! I've been meaning to work pneumatics into my displays for years now anyway! Obviously it wasn't scary enough this year... I gotta take it up a notch so people are too scared to mess with it.

Somehow I suspect that you wind up with more candy at the end of the night than the start... strong-arming the trick-or-treaters, aren't you? :p :owl:

Had a really cool setup one year with a storage container with wheels, all tricked out as a casket with the whole haunted house setting. It was great until the man who lived next door closed the lid and pushed me down the street.

We lived on a hill.
