Sheeple are so funny.

I had a great time last night out at The Haunted World. Possibly the best night I've had there.
I got to test the gullibility of the general public. I'm not implying that people who get scared at spook alleys are gullible. We expect that, that's our goal.
My job last night though was to lure people into taking the wrong path, into a dead end. They took the lure all night long. Half of one group decided to trust the vampire (me) over the directions their friends were giving. Another group spent over 10 minutes (I'm not exaggerating) trying to figure out how to go on when they reached the dead end. I was even able to fool back-to-back groups, several times.
Me;"They're turning back because they lacked the courage to go on. If you have the courage to face your darkest fears, go this way."
Sheeple Boy; "Okay vampire guy, I'll show you how brave I am. You can't scare me. See, I'm walking right into your trap."
I really loved the looks I got when they realized it was a trap and I said, "There is no way out. I've sealed all the exits, so you will have to stay here forever. [evil laugh]"
My absolute favorite was the guy who got scared by one of the automated spooks, left his date to fend for herself and sprinted straight into my trap. It was too good. I wish I had video of it.

Yep, that's my boy!

Momma put the alien antenna on him, but he wore them happily until they fell off by themselves.
I tried to get more pictures but he kept moving his head around to see the balls wiggle.

Sitting like a big kid

Just before he slid down to stand by the couch, he was doing this. He sat like that long enough for me to get the camera, turn it on and snap this picture, at least a couple minutes.

He's cruizin' now

Yep, there it is. He slid himself off the couch to a standing position. He didn't walk along the couch yet, so he's not quite cruising yet, but he's on his way.
