Friday night, we had the privilege of attending the Halloween event at the Amherst Museum in Amherst, New York. The Amherst Museum is a museum complex set up like a 19th century village of 12 historic buildings, moved from their original site. These include homes, one-room schoolhouses, a barbershop, and a church. Each building had its own stop on the trick-or-treat trail, and they really decked them out in all the Halloween finery! One of the schoolhouses was set up for "Eternal Detention", filled with the skeletons of students who had been there for "ages". Also, there was Zombie Detection school for training in defeating zombies, and the "Undecorated" Show house, filled to the brim with deconstruction advice. The hanging skeleton barnyard was a place to store any unused skeletons and their parts. There were zombies in the barber chairs, as well as a place to buy your ghoulish goods, such as eyeballs and lizard tongues. It was great fun. Now, on to the real deal, tomorrow night!
