I dressed to make myself look like a Halloween prop, and then stood in plain sight....

The first couple of visitors were teenage girls, and I could hear their mother say "um girls!" when I started to move.
Caused another to scream in a double octave.
Scattered kids left and right
Had pieced of costumes, hats, and various shoes scattered across the yard (as they fled)
But the best is when one of the screams was so epic, a person inside the house came out and gave me a high five.

It was fun listening to various kids, trying to work up their courage, knowing that some tasty candy was right there, with that doorbell glowing in plain sight. All they had to do was get past the spooky figure, and as one kid said, "it looks like it's ready to move." It was.
