Evelyn Greter has seen the fear in the eyes, heard the tremble in the voices when young trick-or-treaters alert her to what’s lurking in the upper story of her St. Elmo home.
“I’ve been pulled off the porch and out to the front yard several times by kids to warn me of the ‘undead’ wandering around upstairs,” she says.
There are no actual zombies, she claims. Merely a projector filling the windows with their creepy silhouettes.
It’s all part of the fun for Greter and her husband, Mark, who have decorated their digs for Halloween the past four years, as long as they’ve lived in St. Elmo.
“We moved here from abroad where there’s no trick-or-treating, and so we’re excited every year to go all out,” she says.
