To add more effect to the event, the United States Air Force Strolling Strings played Halloween-themed tunes on black violins on the South Portico porch who played theme songs "Ghostbusters," "Bewitched" and the Harry Potter films. The conclusive walk-out song of the first couple was reported to be the "The Addams Family" signature tune. Children dressed up as astronauts, military officers, pirates and dinosaurs and several agencies like the Secret Service showed off the presidential limo known as “The Beast” and NASA displayed the suit that astronauts wear for spacewalks.
