We had so many photos and tagged photos from the spooky festivities this weekend that we decided they deserved their own What We Did post.
Saturday's coffin races are always our favorite aspect of Halloween in Denton and this year was no slouch. The designs this year were once again amazing and there were over 70 entries. On a sidenote, we love how Pan Ector have basically become the villains of the annual race with their ability to think outside of the box (literally in this case).
The coffin races weren't the only Halloween activity going on this weekend, though. Below, you'll also find photos from costume parties, live music, twilight parade, and a whole bunch of awesome stuff that happened.

Read MoreWhat We Did is our weekly roundup of photos that WDDI staff and readers have taken over the past seven days. Below are 18 of images that showcase all of the different things that have been going on in town over the past seven days. With all of the events, festivals, parties, shows, and everything else that happened over the past few days, we had tons of photos to choose from. So much so that we are splitting today's What We Did into two separate posts. So keep up with the blog today and there will be another, spookier, What We Did later on today.

Read MoreWhenever we have a bunch of photos from a certain event, we like to break What We Did into two posts. Denton's annual Day of the Dead Festival has a habit of being awesome and generating lots of photo-ops and this year wasn't any different. So, here's your second What We Did post of the day, featuring plenty of images of this weekend's spooky festivities (it is a little heavy on coffin racing, but that isn't exactly a problem).
While the rain may have seemed like it put a damper on Saturday's festivities, people still came out in droves to get their face painted, take in some racing, and watch Cirque Du Horror. Personally, we enjoyed Scott Porter's role as the announcer of the Coffin Race again this year. Our particular favorite quote was, "Control, ALT, Defeat!"
