Ghouls and goblins

October

At this time of year, Cindy Frisbie sees the world through a prism of Halloween. Everything is recycled as holiday decorations for her yard on Sherman Avenue in Mount Pleasant.

A four-foot standing floor lamp becomes Lumera the Witch.

Empty bottles of hair color are relabeled “dragon’s breath� and “spider web dust� and are set out on the witches’ table as ingredients for their brews.

Beach balls and pool noodles become ghosts to hang from trees. Extra wood from a construction site makes a cage for skeletons. Old artificial plants found by the side of the road are saved for a cemetery.

“I can turn just about anything into something for Halloween,� she says.

You’ll know her house. It’s the one with the spider on the roof.
