Halloween decorating season is in full swing. At our home, we've had ours up for a few weeks already, and motorists, joggers, neighborhood kids, and lovers of the annual October 31 celebration aren't the only ones taking delight in them by intentionally setting them off.

This past weekend, we put the finishing touches on our Halloween decorations. The two areas of the property we focus our attention on every October are the front lawn and front porch. Our front cemetery decorations sit right off the main road that passes through the neighborhood and is our main source of pride.

 It's made friends with all of them, and doesn't seem to be phased at all when they simultanously erupt in what amounts to about a full-minute of Halloween ruckus.

The cemetery consists of many lights, five personalized tombstones honoring Halloween greats such as The Headless Horseman, Jack Skellington, Edgar Allen Poe and others, various spooky hanging decorations like an armless zombie and freakish bride dressed in a white gown, strobe lights, a storming sound machine, skulls, and a massive LED spider web. My nine-year-old son helped me complete it this year, and shortly after it was done we realized the cemetery display was attracting a local cat almost nightly.

For the past few evenings between midnight and 1 A.M., the cat has been wandering the cemetery and coming up onto our front porch where we have our electronic decorations that consist of a motion-activated wolf, jumping spider, and sinister laughing pumpkin. It's made friends with all of them, and doesn't seem to be phased at all when they simultanously erupt in what amounts to about a full-minute of Halloween ruckus.

For some bizarre reason our cameras are picking up the cat, but not recording the commotion caused by the decorations getting triggered. We haven't figured that mystery out yet, but you can still see how much the cat enjoys taunting and hanging out with our battery-operated, porch nightmare in the below video.
