A Halloween Special
This is a very old family video. The Halloween party was almost 25 years ago, at our house.
It’s my dad with the bolt through his neck. Bless him, he had only recently lost mum but he still took part, even if he did look a little lost at times. He did well.

Hope you enjoyed this little sample :O)

How often do you even get to see the phrase, “There’s dad with a bolt through his neck”? Ah, that’s why I love Halloween!

How lovely to see that video Babs. I was only looking at the photos the other day, but have never seen the video!
Dad was always happy and willing to join in with our fun wasn’t he. Mum would have loved it, but she would have been the glamour witch

Christa: It was a lot of fun and went on ’till the early hours!
JD: Yes, it was really good to get him out and enjoy himself for a while
Duck: Great song. It frightened me the very first time Thriller was shown on TV! Probably the most scary thing to have been shown then.

Great video Babs, thanks for sharing it! How great were those days, eh? We used to go to Halloween parties every year when we were first married…. each year we’d dress up, and have a wonderful time.
Love the choice of music, BTW… my favorite tune for Halloween!

I really liked seeing your video and your dad was so willing to join in even if his heart was breaking and yours, what a great dad you had. It’s great you have this video even if it was the only one, it’s special and thanks for sharing.

Very cool video. I never thought of putting a family video on U-Tube before. Super idea. I loved watching you all celebrate the scariest day of the year.
Happy Halloween.

Wow! What a GREAT Halloween party! And you’re not even American!! LOL!
Those costumes are amazing. Your Dad was amazing. And I loved the guy with the hood who kept menacing the camera! And also the skull teeth those two had – is one of them you??

Swubird: I only just thought to do it really. I don’t mind as everyone is disguised anyway
Jay: Ha ha! Jay, if you look really closely you can see a millisecond of me in it. I am a white witch
