Greenfield Village Halloween Festival 2010

Hello Halloween lovers, Halloween Psycho here. Have you made plans for Halloween yet? Are you planning on doing anything other than carving pumpkins and wearing costumes? I'm sure you want to take your family somewhere that is fun for all. Go to Greenfield Village's annual Halloween Festival. It is filled with fun colorful characters, moments that make you jump, and a chance to do minimal trick or treating. I visited this place very skeptical, but I must say, they know how to celebrate a holiday. I entered this place, and it is a giant trail. You follow this VERY long rode, and as you go along, you see many characters. The first one I saw was a crazy mad scientist holding a lantern (the only lighting was lit jack-o-lanterns along the sides of the trail). He warned us of his monster that he created, it was loose and was running around the village (I never actually encountered it). As we continued our trail, we say many haunted houses, one of which was Henry Ford's house, holding his ghost. I also encountered a burning house, a grim reaper standing by a satanic bonfire, scratching his scythe, and it was one of the most eerie parts of the entire trail. As we continued to walk, we continued this seemingly normal house, until it was struck by lightning. All of a sudden, animated ghosts were flying around, and they transfered into three large pumpkins below the house. And then, the pumpkins grew faces, and were singing songs. And then, the house next to it, featured a ghostly girl, walking on the terrace. She kept complaining on how she was left all alone, and then began to softly sing a little chant. Another eerie sight. We then stopped to a local snack shop, where I got a donut, and some hot chocolate. And then, the last and greatest sight, the Headless Horseman (my new friend) chasing Ichabod Crane through the fields. He did not seem to be able to find him, so I struck a deal with him. I would tell him the whereabouts of Ichabod, if he posed for the camera. I told him he went left, so he stood at the camera in a monumental shot. Then, I went to the concession stand and bought a pumpkin cookie and a "Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark" book. Overall, I highly recommend this place for your Halloween plans.
