A very scary Halloween in Parham

Halloween revelers looking for a fright were sure to have gotten theirs in Parham, where residents Sandi Blair and Ron Zuther go all out every Halloween.

This year was their grandest and scariest display yet. Every year Sandi and Ron deck out their home located just south of the Parham General Store on Road 38 with various creepy Halloween scenes, and a cast of characters from well-known horror flicks. On hand this year were Jason from Friday the 13th, Michael Myers from Halloween, the coal miner from My Bloody Valentine, the little clown from the movie It and Jack the Pumpkin King from Nightmare on Elm Street. If that were not enough, a five-headed hydra plus a wide array of other ghouls and goblins hanging from trees or lurking in the darkness add to the fright.

For Ron and Sandi it is the one time of the year they can indulge their love for everything creepy. “This is our third year in Parham and we just love doing it.”

Their efforts do not go unnoticed and Halloween revelers from far and wide will often make a special trip from as far away as Verona and Sharbot Lake. And it is not just a treat that they are after, but more that pleasantly perturbing Halloween scare that only the most committed Halloween enthusiasts will go so far out of their way to provide.
