The total cost runs in the hundreds with more than six-hundred pounds of decorations. Resident Todd Petersen has just finished 30 hours of work creating what he calls "A Halloween environment."

Born in the mid 1960s, while most kids were playing with their Easy Bake Ovens or Lite Brites, 6-year-old Todd Petersen was playing with Creepy Crawlers and smelling the fumes which had a profound effect on his mentality. "Other kids were always jealous of what the Petersen boys had. We ran wild and threw things. We kinda made up or own ways of what was acceptable back then. Halloween parties was a natural progression after smelling the goop from those thing maker ovens."

Now celebrating its 18th anniversary, Todd continues to put on kick-ass parties that scare the living daylights out of his lame neighbors. Across the street lives Dale (who refused to give his last name out of fear of hazing). "Those boys are a menace!" he says after several disputes with them over property lines, his borrowed lawn mower and the medicinal properties of pine cones. "I've a half a mind to toilet paper his house! Or pay some high schoolers to do so!"

By the time Todd was 12, his annual fall haunt ambitions grew to include pranking the neighbors homes with industrial strength radioactive stickers on their storm doors, lighting smoke bombs in their mail boxes and removing manhole covers in hopes some unaware elderly would fall in.

“It got to the point where you couldn’t park within a three- to four-block radius of the house on Halloween night,” Petersen recalled as the popularity of his parties grew. As an adult living in Chesterton, Petersen paid the lighting bills with various entertainment industry roles, from part time musician to special events photo retoucher. But it was the yearly fright fest at his house that he loved working on the most when not whoring about with the fine group of women in the NWI singles meetup group. He is already dreaming about next year.

    whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

    two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
