I'm a trifle late in posting these Halloween photos, but there's often a bit of a lag on that front in Shanville -- you can probably expect Christmas photos to hit a Sunday post around Easter time... :-)

Anyway, here are a few snaps of the Shans in action on a quiet, socially-distanced Halloween in the year of Covid-19. In the first pic, we pose in our costumes -- the first one of you who says I look the same as normal will be banned from this page for life!!!

Dante and Bapcia (his Granny on Mrs Shan's side, whose family hailed from Poland) decorate pumpkins in the second photos.

Mrs Shan shows off her makeup in the third, while the fourth is proof that anyone who stays in the Shan household for more than a night or two faces a full-on conversion to all things freakish -- yes, that's Bapcia again, only now she's been Shanified!!! :-)
