Description from D Gooding: My husband and I enjoy passing out candy for Halloween. A couple hundred children usually come to the door and it takes the two of us to keep up with them. A few years ago, my husband was scheduled to work Halloween evening. My youngest brother offered to come down and help me out. I ordered pizza, and put on the movie PumpkinHead, which is a particular favorite of mine this time of year. After he ate some pizza, and answered the doorbell 3 times, my brother sat on the sofa, popped up the recliner and fell asleep, snoring. I have no idea how he could sleep with PumpkinHead blaring, and the doorbell ringing every few minutes, but he missed most of the trick-or-treaters...LOL. My wonderful brother passed away this year, but this will always be one of my fondest memories.
