We always used to really deck out our house for Halloween. One year we blocked off our front door with this sign we made up and directed Trick or Treaters to go to the back door. To the left of the door we parked our old pickup truck with a dummy inside. It was one of those styrofoam heads they model the wigs on at Party City, but we had painted it to look like a crash test dummy and dressed it in old clothes. Inside the truck there was a light that was aimed at the dummy's face from below. Essentially, when the kids came up to the back door we threw a switch inside the house that activated the headlights, interior light on the dummy, and the horn all at once like the truck was about to ram them. Wonderful gag. :lol:
