I caught up with Paul Cunningham of Machias recently. We talked for about 40 minutes about him decorating his house on the corner of West and Water streets with skeletons. He had a graveyard scene that was both spooky and original. He even had a fog machine; a lot of lights and crazy cobwebs danced on the outside of the house. 

Cunningham talked about Halloween and why he decorated his house the way he did. He is 54 years old, and Halloween has been his favorite holiday since he was a little kid.
