Make your house the scariest on the block by not decorating at all and turning off your lights. Maybe a small note on the door: "FBI WARNING: This home prohibited from engaging in Halloween activities."
This is heaven for my tortoise. She loves pumpkins and we tell everyone in the neighborhood to bring all their old Halloween pumpkins to our place after they're done with them.
Carved pumpkin getting a little wilty? She doesn't care. Munch munch munch! Delicious.
