Day 20, 2020 – E.T. Phone Home

The Skeletons recreated the 1982 classic movie E.T. – The Extra-Terrestrial for Halloween.

The Skeletons are also celebrating the rare full blue moon which only happens on Halloween every 18-19 years.

Will Elliott and his friends get E.T. home safely?

Steven Spielberg’s iconic film is still popular today.

Oh, my Gourd – I’m flying!

There is such a powerful message behind this film of peace and accepting others who are different.

E.T. and Elliott end up rescuing each other through the power of love and friendship.

At the end of the movie, E.T. tells Elliott’s sister to “BE GOOD”.

Some pretty good advice to follow!

Where is Pumpkin the Rat?

He didn’t want to steal E.T.’s limelight so he is staying at the donation booth to hand out treats today.

(I don’t think he wants to share his Doritos)

A real-life Elliott, who just happened to be wearing a red hoodie stopped by to see the display this morning.

 

This is one of my favourite displays.  I couldn’t have pulled this off without the incredible help of the Smidt family, Diane, and Ken for today’s setup.

Also, thanks to Ken for constructing the moon and to Oakley the Beagle for walking on the moon, creating all the mini craters.
