Earlier this month I shared a story with you about a man in Glen Burnie, MD who was known for the elaborate mailboxes he made.

So I pleaded with my old friends in MD to get me a picture of the King Kong mailbox that was mentioned in the newspaper article and I was sent this instead!

Headless Horseman mailbox

Headless Horseman mailbox

According to the article he changes his mailboxes, so King Kong is gone in favor of a more fitting one for the holidays.

Thanks Gremmy and Poppy for sending these pictures.

Happy Halloween!

    I don’t think I’d want that in my front yard, but it sure is cool.

    Just wanted you to know I wrote about you on one of my blogs. I left the link to the post.

    Keep up the good work. I’ll keep an eye out for interesting one’s here.

    Yay I have missed this site for the week or so that my laptop has been broken and what a great box to find when I come back!

    I want one!!

    Do you have a mailbox? Is it amazingly normal or amazingly elaborate?

    My mailbox is really boring and needs to be cleaned… still. I posted a picture of it in June

    I’m just trying to figure out… where does the mail go, actually? I mean, it’s fabulous of course, but… functional?

    With Halloween around the corner, this would be fine touch. But rocking it year round takes a special kind of person!

    This guy has been doing it for a long time. He lives up the street from me. He has done Ferries & Cinderella’s carriage, watermelon delivery truck, paddywagons, white house, helicopter, cottages, sooooooo many more… He even did another guys up the street from me his old car. For Christmas 2008 he made a pretty neat looking Gingerbread House.

    I went to Glen Burnie HS and found out about Mr. Witles from a news article. Luckily my in-laws still lived in the area and were able to meet him and take some pictures. Recently his family has been gracious enough to send me regular updates, one of which I’m posting today right after this comment :)
