Tom BetGeorge has unveiled his Halloween light show for 2023! Thus year, BetGeorge decided to go what he calls "old school" and concentrated on computerized moving lights. I don't know how "old school" that really is, and we see some short sequence of projection lights in his shows. But there are no drones, like last Halloween, probably because that's an awful lot of work to do every night for a month. The sequence above uses the song "GrimGrinning Ghosts" from the Haunted Mansion attraction at Disney parks. But there are other sequences with other songs this year. You can see them at Neatorama.

I hate to sound like a Grinch, but I wonder what the neighbors have to say about such an over-the-top display with regard to the the light spill, the noise, and the excessive traffic created by rubberneckers? I also wonder how this affects his power bill. Then there's the amount of fossil fuels that need to be mined or extracted to produce that energy and the impact that creates with regard to land despoilment, pollution – and yes, the green-house gases created when the fuel is burned.
And on top of it all, this multi-light display with its strobes and lasers and drones and what-all-else totally destroys the darkness of the night sky, meaning that anyone living near his display who might want to look up in the evening sky to view the Draconid or other October meteor showers – or just gaze out into the vastness and emptiness of space and the stars – is pretty much shit out of luck.
I'm not saying we should go back to black-out conditions like was seen during WWII, but this idea of one-upsmanship with Christmas – and now Halloween – lights, decorations, and now drone needs to be toned down. Do it for the planet.

Dark? But it would be mean to...
Put those coal mining children out of work so they have to go to school.
Leave that Dinosaur blood that lets the Teutonic plates shift, in the ground.
Prevent seducing that babe with a plan to watch meteor showers in the yard.
By lighting up the 'hood his neighbors can still play golf on the weekend while putting up their Christmas displays in the evening hours. Win win.
