BOOing Invades the Ville
"We've Been BOOed!" signs have made their magical way from house to house around Merchantville. This secret Monsterville tradition surprises neighbors, classmates, friends and families with a special Halloween package on their doorstep - which soon propagates across town. Halloween BOO-ing begins when one neighbor secretly leaves a small gift basket, a BOO poem, BOO instructions and a BOO sign at a neighbor's doorstep. Before you know it the entire neighborhood is sporting "We've Been BOOed" signs, with everyone left guessing who the mysterious gift givers were. Enjoy these pictures of some 2019 Monsterville BOOing recipients. If you got BOOed please This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.!
