Trunk-or-Treat

Our church does an event called “Trunk-or-Treat”.  The basic idea is that members decorate their cars in the parking lot of the church, and kids come and trunk-or-treat from car to car in a safe environment where they’ll know most of the people.  Let’s set aside the decline of the American neighborhood for a moment, and just bask in the awesomeness that is Scary Cat Jeep.



I was in a rush to put it together after work in time for the event, but basically, it’s black construction paper for ears, white poster board for eyes (black construction paper irises), poster-board for teeth, and two red plastic table cloths for the inside of the mouth and the tongue.  I used a piece of the table cloth taped around my work light to give the red glow from the mouth.  It looked better than the picture can show.
The event was a huge hit, and a lot of kids showed up.  We were out of candy in about 45 minutes.  Thanks to our zebra-Jeep neighbors, we were able to replenish for another 30 minutes.
