One man in Mamaroneck, New York, is bringing humor to his Halloween display.
Michael Fry, an art teacher and parent to two daughters, ma
de a graveyard on his front lawn of 2017’s dying trends.
His sarcastic gravestones include everything from fashion to pop culture to politics, saying “so long” to “old” Taylor Swift, dabbing, ombre hair and #roseallday, among others.
“I was thinking of doing gravestones and turning my front yard into a ceremony but I didn’t know what I wanted to put on them,” Fry, 39, told ABC News of his funny tradition that began three years ago. “I wanted to put something on them that wasn’t necessarily of people, and I didn’t want it to be too left or too right or offensive in any way.”
He said he wanted to do something “humorous and modern with the times,” which his students were certainly happy to help him compile.
“Things from that year that have either died, or are dying or are no longer fashionable or no longer hip,” said Fry. “Being a teacher, I get input from my students and friends and family members, and it’s become a collaborative effort.”
The gravestone for homemade slime is “wishful thinking,” though, because “teachers can’t stand it,” Fry said.
Others include paying homage to watching television live and having normal seasons, presumably a dig at global warming.
