<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nWe took the Gallery of Ghoulish Homes Tour in St. Charles again this year and made it a point to visit all our favorites from last year. They are the most fun because they feature live actors. They are getting pretty ballsy too – one guy got into someone’s van to scare the people who hadn’t come out! And another guy kept following me. I tried to take a self-portrait of the two of us but it didn’t come out, see?<\/p>\n

The same guy later followed us, and K in particular, back to the SUV, even going so far as to run alongside the SUV as we pulled away, while threatening us with his (fake) knife. K and I got a serious case of giggles from that. I took a video but it’s so dark you can’t see anything so there’s no point in posting it.<\/p>\n
There’s not enough time to ever see all the houses on the tour, but it was easier locating them with my iPhone’s GPS than putting together maps like I did last year. Interestingly enough, we didn’t visit most of the homes that the judges liked best, so we’re going to have to make a point to check those out before Halloween.<\/p>\n
