Presenting.. The Funeral… “All of them gathered, crawling out of the cupboards, the dusty attic, the closets and crawl spaces, all the dark places where they would rest throughout the year. They came to give their respect for the loss of something so great. They came for the funeral of Halloween, laid to rest in Bound Brook, October 31st, 2020. No more parades. No more trick-or-treating. No more Halloween. They came to offer their condolences. They came to bear witness. Halloween in Bound Brook is Dead. Long Live Halloween!” #31skeletons#theskeletonhouse#halloweeninboundbrookisdead#longlivehalloween
Today we were interviewed by News 12 New Jersey regarding our borough of Bound Brook. It seems Bound Brook has issued an order banning all Halloween activities including Trick-or-treating.
The day prior to the ban, The NJ Dept of Health and Governor Murphy issued guidance Permitting Trick-or-treating as long as it was done safely and following social distancing guidelines.
It’s confusing why the state of NJ allows trick-or-treating but someone in The Office of Emergency Management of Bound Brook decided against the state issued guidance. As far as I can find Bound Brook is the only borough in the entire state banning Trick-or-treating. It just doesn’t make any sense.
Below is the link to the story and video from NJ News 12.
No tricks or treats: Bound Brook cancels Halloween celebrations amid COVID concerns
We are hoping someone at the Bound Brook OEM will rescind the ban and let all the children of Bound Brook Trick-or-treat just like all the children in the rest of the state will be able to.
On a positive note, we were interviewed along with another couple who live a few blocks from us. We’ve been in contact with them and they are awesome. They run the Bound Brook CarnEvil house and it’s amazing. Here is a link to their page…. check them out!

Because News 12 New Jersey were going to be filming our house for the story and it’s early in the month, we didn’t have that many skeletons out yet. We chose to put out some more for the filming. Here are some pictures of it all…
We will keep everyone updated on this story and we hope we will be able to share good news soon….
31 Skeletons continue with some house decorations and Skeletons #4 through #7. These skinny pallbearers will help you to your final resting place… But is that coffin lid moving? “Bring out your dead… bring out your dead?” #31skeletons#theskeletonhouse#bringoutyourdead
