Once inside you might notice
there are some rather interesting characters already here. Your first stop is the ticket booth to
purchase tickets for the games and rides.
You’ll notice the time on the clock is midnight. Here at the carnival, time stops at
midnight...until you leave…that is, if you can leave…..
Mr. Bones has been working in
the ticket booth for as long as anyone can remember.
There are lots of fun games
to entice you.
You could try Skull Toss, Pin
a Cross on a Vampire, Stump the Owl, Ride a Witches Broom, Stare Down a
Gargoyle or Count the Ghosts in a Bottle.
It’s the kind of place where a tin pie and cake pan magically transforms into a Haunted Carousel (and yes it moves!).
But as with any ride, there
are restrictions.
Seems Mr. Fox is not amused.
Stump an Owl
Your head needs to be serious
bulging to attempt this game.
Bag the Rats
Yes yes, everyone asks; you
can keep and or eat the rats you bag.
Skull Toss
The important point with this
game is to read the rules. You must be:
- Upside Down
- Have Your Eyes Closed
- Have One Hand or Claw Behind Your Back
- Singing
If you get tired there is a
nice bench on which to rest.
You can always sit and enjoy
the spider parade.
For Those Curious About the
Products I Used
Some of the stuff I used came
from my stash that I have collected over time so who knows where it came from I
certainly don’t remember. But here is
what I can tell you – see hyperlinks and notes below.
Ticket Booth
The umbrellas are for drinks
and I think I found them at Pier One
Carousel
Metal
Frames Set – Oval Frame
The ghosts at the top are Mrs
Grossman stickers
Skull Toss
Poles holding the sign are
wooden skewers
Stump an Owl
Frog – Bennett
Aespo’s Fables #1 Collage Sheet
Bag the Rats
Rats, fence and trashcan –
this was from a Jolees set. I used all
the cool stuff and was left with the rats, which is what gave me the idea.
Prizes
Fibers – Halloween
Fiber Set
I colored the cauldron with Copper
Gilders Paste
The spider web is Dazzles

The heads are cupcakes decorations that I bought at Michaels craft store

still buy the spiders but the manufacturer is not making them anymore.
