For several years, we used a combination of a hidden microphone and a mechanical witch we nicknamed Hazel to rise up next to the front step when the doorbell rang. It did create quite a surprise for the kids, especially when “Hazel” would respond to the kids comments before the front door was opened..One year, a parent was so frightened (parent, not child), he complained bitterly it was not fair to do something so frightening on Halloween!.Can you imagine that? Doing something scary on Halloween! Shame on me…
