Creative Hallowe'en

Many people like to decorate for Hallowe'en. It is the last night in October, and by mid-September stuff is on the lawn. Stores are happy to sell stuff, but some people make their own. Some is artistic, others are more psycho-butchery than macabre. On Madison Avenue Lakewood, merchants have been encouraged to place scarecrows before their storefronts. Some of these are like familiar spooky creatures given to American culture by Hollywood, but toward friendly and not scary. Some of these scarecrows are reflective of the business they stand and guard. Infra is in front of a veterinary practice.
  
Some people go full out. Supra, is an ATAT Walker from Star Wars. Infra a tunnel boring machine has popped through a driveway, and it carried skeletons. Both of these were made by men that work as building tradesmen. The first has been getting local media attention, and is in Parma. The second is in Lorain. These homeowners have been doing these for a few years. The Lorain fellow's earlier pirate ship was noted in a London newspaper.
