One Roslindale family dunks on Halloween

Thomas and Joe DeMasi, Teresa Marx and Sam DeMasi pose in front of their annual Halloween creations. See larger.
The DeMasi-Marx family gathered around their 12-foot Home Depot skeletons this afternoon, before the start of the annual Tyndale Street Halloween fest in Roslindale.
Teresa Marx reports sewing the uniforms - from orange Joanne's Fabric Cloth - took a solid three days, with help of in-laws in for a few days this summer. Son Joe designed and output the logos and stuff - and the giant Dunk's take-out receipt he has pasted to one of his legs. Hard to see in the photo, but the Munchkins are chocolate and vanilla frosted skulls, as one would expect.
Last year, Joe and Teresa rented an actual U-Haul truck to stage Roslindale's first Storrowing as part of Tyndale's annual Halloween celebration, which has gotten so big that residents this year brought in an actual food truck.

Phenomenal!
The munchkin skull donut holes are AMAZE-BALLS!
They spend $47 or $94 on that
They spend $47 or $94 on that?
Where do people store this stuff?
Or do they throw it out after? I assume they have massive Xmas displays stashed away, too...
Storage Units
I know that our neighbors in Salem that create a huge display and haunted back yard walk have a storage unit that they store it all in during the off season.
Storage units
I know a family that is That Family on their street. Their display this year had four (large) animatronics, in addition to the 12-foot and 8-foot skeletons that permanently live in their front yard. Everything lives in a storage unit when not in use.
