Halloween 2009

Halloween is a major event on Maui and adults are full participants. Crowds gather in Lahaina and Paia for scary and risque promenades in the street to celebrate All Saints eve.

We again went to a private party in a lovely - except on Halloween - but remote - read dark and scary - home on the cliffs above Kahului Bay. we were greeted by Jeeves at the door and welcomed into the inner sanctum. As usual the host couple had decorated the home with an amazing array of ghosts, goblins, skeletons, devils, spiders and a host of other weird and wonderful creatures? From the long driveway to the front door we had to navigate through graves with protruding corpses, hanging apperitions, skeletons, and spiders swinging from every cornice. Everywhere you looked there was something scaryer to see. The lighting was perfect and created a true feeling of a dark and dreary haunted house deep in the woods and behind the cematary where unspeakable things happen.






We were greeted by Jeeves, the butler - we were convinced in advance that the butler probably did it, whatever it was.


In the house there was an explosion of darkness! Every nook and cranny was filled with eerie stuff. And then there was more stuff.And, again, ghosts and ghouls were everywhere. Wayne was 007 (retired) in his signature white dinner jacket and Caren was a Bond girl - one with out a name but a lot of "whimsey."Even the ghoul in charge of the eating utensils had something to add to the bedlam. Angels and demons hang from the ceiling. Other little devils cried to be held.










It was a great party with all the ghouls around and an creative display of wonderful food. And demons peering out from some of the darndest places.
