Need Halloween Legal Help (Greenport)
Every year I put on a Halloween haunted house for my neighborhood. In the past few years, I’ve really stepped up my game with fake blood, assorted limbs and bones (shins, arms, skulls), and lots of pop up zombies, mock executions, etc. Last year I had a bit of a legal snafu when a kid on my block had a seizure and another had to go to therapy after a bullet squib popped too close to his head. Their parents threatened to sue me and the whole ordeal was a hassle. Anyway, I was thinking that this year there are so many out of work lawyers out there that I could probably get one pretty cheap to come and hang out around the house and keep an eye on things. If another parent gets pissed off or whatever, it would be good to have someone who knows the law. I might also need you to write up a release because this year the guillotine will be real.
I’ve never really hired a lawyer before so I’m not really sure what they charge but I’m guessing it won’t be more than like $18 an hour. If you have one of those insane clown masks that would be really helpful too.

Talk about jerks and Halloween — You should read about the amusement park near Cincinnati that decided to have Halloween displays showing skeletons dressed up to resemble deceased celebrities — many of them recently deceased. It wasn’t merely macabre, but in frighteningly bad taste.
For example the display that seemed to upset people the most was the skeletal display of recently slain NFL quarterback Steve McNair and his dead mistress Sahel Kazemi. It showed a skeleton sitting on a couch, wearing a No. 9 jersey and holding a Tennessee Titan helmet, with the top shot off and a gun lying beside his feet. Across the lap of the McNair skeleton was another skeleton wearing red lingerie depicting McNair’s 20 -year-old mistress who shot and killed him on July 4.
