I said, I'm hoping, I'm hoping, Larry,
these decorations are better than whatever
we just produced right here in the studio.
Oh, man.
I can.
Good morning, guys.
We are here in Ackworth,
and this is a great Halloween decoration display
called Skinner Things.
Take a look.
This is going to be the place to be for Halloween.
Joining me live right now is Megan.
Megan Skinner, your place is...
Everybody's going to be here for Halloween.
What is all of this?
It's Stranger Things theme.
Every year we do a different theme.
We never repeat.
Always go with the 80s theme.
And our community loves it.
Like I said, it started six years ago.
And they keep saying, what are you doing next year?
It's grown from like 100 kids to over 300 kids.
And we hope to see a lot more this year.
So we have our Demi Gorgon.
And we have all of our kids on their bikes.
The details, it's the details for me.
Well, we...
Whoa!
Like, what is that?
You know, just the neighbors.
Right, right.
Um...
Yeah.
The locals.
Yeah.
We make everything by hand.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We hardly buy anything.
Yeah.
I buy one prop a year and that's it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
And again, we just love seeing our community so excited.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All the kids are so fascinated.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They come and take photos.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's a big community event.
Yeah.
We love it.
Yeah.
We brought Hawkins to Parkwood this year.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But you, I mean, like you have the ice cream over there.
You have the skeletons.
You have really paid attention to details here.
Oh, yeah.
How long did this take to set up?
So I started in August.
It was up by September.
Finished a few nights ago,
some of the few final details, so we're so excited.
We love this, and we're so honored to have you guys out here.
Featuring us, so it's a blessing.
We love it, and we love our community.
Obviously, you did this for the kids, but you mentioned
there is something for everybody this Halloween.
Talk about that.
We do full-size candy bars.
We have tons of treats and toys for the kids
and some things for the adults.
It's been a thing, and they do ask for it,
so we just have a good time.
Everybody comes and congregates here.
We have huge groups of people coming in.
Real quick, we have 30 seconds.
What is this?
I'm like, this is real.
Like, the details are crazy to me.
We just happened to be remodeling a camper,
and Eddie is playing Metallica up there.
So we said, you know what?
We might as well utilize it.
So we have Max floating over here with the kids at the cemetery.
We have Vecna in the lab.
So if anybody wants to come, can anybody just come by?
Sure, come on by.
Just be careful when you're driving in because there's a lot of kids.
But Parkwood Commons, just follow the street right off Waygreen Road.
We'd love to have you.
Starting when tomorrow?
We start about 6 o'clock, but it usually goes to about 9 o'clock.
So come and go as you please, as you want.
Just drive safe because all the kids are going
to be out, but we'd love to have you.
All right, guys.
So once again, we're here in Acworth,
and Megan told you how to get up here starting tomorrow at 6 o'clock.
Bring your best Halloween costume, kids, adults, everybody.
This is crazy to me.
Hey, I'm talking back to you guys.
It's the details.
The details is crazy.
I can't get over the details.
Oh, my God.
Wow. That looks like real people. That's great.
It is crazy. But this is what we're talking about.
We're talking about great decorations. I love it.
I feel like our pumpkins would fit in perfectly.
Some of yours. Some of ours.
Not the chocolate chip cookie next to me.
