💀 Most hair-raising homes

pumkin-thief

Dave B.'s pumpkin thief

241 Murdock Ave | This terrifying pumpkin thief can have all of our pumpkins, as far as we’re concerned. 😳 While night is the best time to catch a glimpse of this ghoulish gourd for the full illuminated effect, he’s also pretty scary in the day. Bonus: He is 15' tall and handmade from wood, wire, foam, and papier-mâché.

skulls-halloween-decor

200 N. Skyloft Dr. | Spooky music and a socially-distanced skeleton (wearing his mask, obviously) will greet you at this freakily festive residence. We’re really loving the deep red skull projected on the outside of the house – so creepy.

london-road-halloween-decor-yard

London Rd. | This yard is truly the stuff of nightmares. Not only do we have classic ghosts, we also spy angry skeletons, creepy baby dolls, insane asylum escapees + at least one evil clown. And is that Sadako from The Ring swinging with the baby doll?

pet-sematary-halloween-decor

122 Coleman Ave. | This creepy “Pet Sematary” looks great both during the day + at night, when all those tiny little headstones and crosses really pop. RIP, Fido...or maybe not.
