The Annual “Up In Smoke” Post

Coco has graciously forfeited the writing of today’s blog post, so that I may share this memory with our readers. (Programming note: I’ll have another seasonal post on Wednesday of this week.)

This post was originally published three years ago for Halloween. It’s  fun to share it around this time each year. 

A few years ago, Motor Man and I saw a Halloween meme on Facebook, and we knew we could have some fun with it. I’ll share that meme at the end of this post.

Let me preface this by saying: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!

First, a few behind the scenes shots:

A witch and her Motor Man.

What does a witch do when her broom catches fire?

First she looks a bit perturbed, then she proceeds to put out the fire.

And is shocked to see the damage to her ride.

Here is our video. The audio is a little low, so the first thing you hear me say is: “Oh, no! My broom is on fire!”.  And then: “That engine from Keen’s!” (Motor Man builds performance engines.) And yes, we had a bucket of water ready in case things got out of hand.

Next is an ‘out take’. This was the first video we filmed, and as you can tell, I needed some cues from my director (Motor Man). The ‘evil’ laugh you hear at the end is Dan, a friend who was helping us with this production.

And here’s the Facebook meme that started it all:

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
