    This is a belated shout out to Ann of Upton Road. I actually gave up decorating my own home for Halloween because her first cultural boost to Halloween Met every standard I could think of. It had a powerful theme augmented by only having two characters. The subject was a paradoxically funny skeleton. The lighting was subdued and could not be seen from space. It was personalized because the other character was an artist painting the dancer and the painting it self was done by ann. Sense this first effort Ann work not as effective but it doesn’t matter because she is runner up to herself and will be for years to come.
