For Children: BOO! Whose tombstones are these? Even though the names on the graves are not real, this family wants to tell us something about living a healthy lifestyle. What are three things that these messages are trying to teach the neighborhood?
For Adults: Though Halloween can be seen as a holiday overrun with the consumption of candy, it certainly would not be as much fun without clever decorations such as these. This family in South Buffalo took the time to create a spooky display while teaching the neighborhood kids a lesson about the “grave” topic of drug use. Faller focuses on this folk humor that has turned ghastly ghouls into downright fools.
