Halloween is back on! Shruken heads fixed!

We have a family tradition of decorating for Halloween - our neighborhood has a lot of kids and my kids like doing the house up spooky even though they are both pushing teenager status.
For years we've had this cheesy string of lighted shrunken skeleton heads that I hang over the front door and we plug in at night.
Well, this year after only a couple of nights, it burned out! :mad:
The kids were bummed....can't have Halloween without the shrunken heads over the door!!!
I was sorely tempted to just buy a new string of anything Halloween themed, but no...it HAD to be the shrunken heads.
So I took them down, dragged them inside - pulled out the original box - good thing I kept the plastic bag of replacement bulbs - then, one at a time replaced the bulbs.
Got lucky on #3 and the string lit up - scary and spooky as ever.
It's back up over the door and Halloween is BACK ON!
