Michael Watkins stood at the corner of 10th and Virginia and waited for traffic. For now, he’s wearing a deranged clown costume and holding a plastic meat cleaver. This is his first year working the Terror on Tenth Street Haunted house. After a haunted tour, I stand outside talking to the cast that inhabits the small house on weekends. They talk about scaring people so badly they’ve had punches thrown, broken windows and people running out the front door. Malinda Frisch, who volunteers with her grandson, dresses up as Nurse Ratchett and Dr. Hatchet. “This is our favorite time of the year,” she says. This is beter than staying at home. This is our family time.”

Awesome! This is my favorite People on Sundays in a while (I was going to abbreviate People on Sundays, but thought better of it… haha)

The colors are really great and the way you frame your photos is always different and interesting.
