You Called, Dum-Dums?

Taylor as The Great Gazoo

The Great Gazoo came all the way the planet Zetox to be in our parade! Well I guess news of the parade has traveled to the farther reaches of the universe...hey, wait a second...that's not Gazoo, that's Taylor. Well, Taylor, you fooled us. Taylor is flying by in a brand new flying saucer. Very aerodynamic. Thanks Taylor for bring a little space age and a little prehistoric times into the parade.

When Taylor isn't flying around in space crafts, the little green fella is enjoying a favorite scary movie; Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Collier's Magazine called it "The Nightmare That Threatens The World!" So it must be scary.

Surfin' U.S.A.

Andi as a Beach Bum

Andi is just turning the corner and come into the spot light with a nice tan. Why? Because Andi is going as a Beach Bum this year for Halloween. Andi loves playing in the sun, and tries to make each sunny day count. We're with you, Andi, we should all try to be beach bums more often. Thanks for reminding us of sunny days!

Andi's favorite Halloween movie is Scooby Doo: Camp Scare. Andi's never seen it, but Andi LOVES Scooby Doo! :)

Bananas For You

D.J. as a Sock Monkey.

D.J. thought that Baxter was so cool that the little lamb wanted to follow the pirate. So after rooting through Erin's laundry basket, D.J. came out with the perfect costume, a Sock Monkey. We only wish D.J. rooted through Erin's sock draw instead of the laundry basket. We would like to apologize now to the next few entries that have to follow D.J. We are hoping they will be going as men in haze-mate suits or army dudes with gas masks. Thanks, D.J. for joining the parade and stinking up the place.

D.J. favorite movie is Black Sheep...or it would be if Erin would agree to rent the movie for the herd. For some reason she keeps saying no.

Monkey See Monkey Do

Baxter as a Pirate

Our next entry, Baxter the sock monkey, is going as a Pirate this year as Halloween. Traditional and great! D.J. specifically stated that this was a great outfit and I think we all know why (because D.J.'s first Halloween costume this year was a pirate...gezz people, keep up). Anyway, Baxter will be sure to get lots of booty this year. Thanks, Baxter, for joining the parade.

Baxter's favorite "fantasy terror"movie is Nightmare on Elm Street (trailer for new remake)....oooo, scary.

Kerstman ("Christmas Man")

Broar as Santa Claus (Kerstman)

Our next entry was born in the Netherlands but has recently made the trip over the pond to the U. S. of A. Entering the parade as Santa Claus (or Kerstman in the Netherlands), Broar is making a wonderfully festive entrance. Traditionally, Thanksgiving Day parades end with Santa Claus bringing up the rear; but since we are a Halloween parade, we though we would bring Santa a little earlier in the parade route. It is good to mix is up. Thanks Broar for being especially festive and bringing two great holidays together!

O, what is Broar's favorite movie? Well, The Nightmare Before Christmas, of course!

You Make Bathtime Lots of Fun!

Sammy as Bathtime Ducky

Here comes Sammy, all nice and clean and ready for a parade! Boy Sammy that costume looks really comfy. Perfect for kicking up your feet and watching a marathon of scary, Halloween movies. Speaking of movies, Sammy's favorite Halloween movies are The Nightmare Before Christmas and Scream. Some great choices.

Quack Quack!

Great costume, Sammy! I think Ernie said it best when he said:

"Every day when I
Make my way to the tubby
I find a little fella who's
Cute and yellow and chubby"

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

G. Raffe is a Winter Princess

Coming next the parade route is G. Raffe. G. Raffe is originally from the Netherlands but decided to grace us all with her presence in the USA. G. Raffe is dressed up as a winter princess. This winter princess would like to point out that she doesn't need a tiara to be stunning; and we would have to agree. (Shhh....G. Raffe already has height issues, and didn't want to be made taller by wearing a tiara.)

G. Raffe's favorite Halloween movie is Dora's Halloween. In this episode, Dora went as a cat and Boots goes as a fire chicken. Creative costumes all around!
