As noted previously<\/a>, the gore lovefest that is Freaky Frights is ceasing to be.<\/p>\n

It was unclear to me from their website whether where they going to have a display this year at all.<\/p>\n

So, I took my chances and headed over on Friday, October 24th. It was on!<\/p>\n

It wasn’t as extravagant or large as in previous years. Unlike last year, which covered two blocks, this year covered only one.<\/p>\n

I saw displays that I remembered from last year, but also noticed a few scenes missing (the bathroom set from the first Saw film, for example). <\/p>\n

However, Freaky Frights was definitely not going to go out with a whimper. Here is but a horrible taste of the carnage. Please note that you can still see all the blood and gore yourself on Halloween — after October 31st, Freaky Frights as the world knows it will go poof.<\/p>\n

A cheerful welcome<\/span>

My favorite display<\/span>
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The popular Jack White vomiting blood display<\/span>

I don’t recall what this chef is cooking, but it is presumably not vegan.<\/span>

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It might be difficult to see, but this smiling head is spewing blood out of several improvised orifices.<\/span>
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A Robert Urich bangeroo type headache<\/span>
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Photo is a little too dark, but it looked nice in person<\/span>
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hey! A scary clown pic for Bubs<\/a>!<\/span>
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Various houses had aesthetically-pleasing lit-up warning signs over their front doors<\/span>
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On Saturday, we headed to a pumpkin patch a few miles from our house. It was as nice and pleasant as Freaky Frights was terrifying and horrific.<\/p>\n

We took a hayride with the kids to get to our pumpkin.
