Halloween
(continued from page 3)
wife looked a little nervous. There was this thing they did every year, they said. “They had aliens set up in the front yard. I said, ‘Let’s do it at our house,� Tschudy recalled. By this time, the Russells had nicely landscaped their front yard and were beginning to grow tired after already hosting the alien display for five or six years, she said. Russell said the aliens have become a growing passion. “I thought, ‘Everyone does ghosts and nobody does aliens.’ They are always scary,� he said. His art degree in animated sculptures has been useful over the years. He created the spaceship and an alien in a suspended-animation chamber. He created pneumatically driven sculptures that could be turned on by remote control. This year, one prop will be completely computercontrolled and operated, he said. “It’s really gotten insane. We have really loved doing it. I remembered that when I was a kid people had (haunted houses) in their garages. They had great memories of these things,� he said of Halloweens past. Other neighbors have gotten into the Halloween spirit. One year a neighbor erected a monolith like the one in the movie, “2001: A Space Odyssey,� Tschudy said. But it’s the coming of the POD portable storage unit at the Tschudys that gets residents excited, said Linda Verhulp, a neighbor. Inside, the props are stored and the pod will convert to a laboratory. “It’s great,� said Verhulp, who always puts a coffin in her front yard that opens mechanically. “Each year I’m always amazed how they add on. When they deliver the POD, you know Halloween is coming.� Nearly 200 people show up on Halloween, but Verhulp said she
doesn’t mind the traffic. After all, Halloween is only one day a year. Paulmer Soderberg, another Vernon Terrace resident, spent his Tuesday afternoon stringing up the other scary display. He stood on a ladder hanging a skeleton from the lamp post, trying to reattach an arm the wind had blown off. Each year his wife, Kristin Foss, dresses as a witch and the Grim Reaper comes alive — an inflatable ghoul kids walk through to get to the front door. The garage converts to a haunted house, with a black tarp where visitors go through a maze of moving skulls, he said. Soderberg said his two boys, ages 5 and 9, love the Halloween displays. When the family first moved to the street a few years ago, only one child came trick-or-treating. Now hundreds of kids visit the street, he said. “I love Halloween. It seems to be more of a kid-friendly thing� than other holidays, he said. “Halloween still has that innocence. It’s still fun.� On Wednesday, old Kalamata olive barrels sat in the Tschudys’ driveway, painted with oozing liquids in Day-Glo green and yellow. The alien craft’s wooden armature was on the front lawn awaiting its silver-colored skin and lights. A Humvee and trailer will contain aliens and an old postal truck becomes an Area 51 security truck, Tschudy said. In the garage, baby aliens will be incubated, to music, lights and fog. On Friday night, the Tschudys are hosting a neighborhood party, when 150 to 200 residents and friends come for a first peek. Setting up the elaborate display is little work for Tschudy, who lets Russell and the guys put on the show. “I just have the space and the chips and salsa,� she said.
