Halloween

“Halloween shadows played upon the walls of the houses. In the sky the Halloween moon raced in and out of the clouds.” – Eleanor Estes

Before this home, we had never decorated during spooky times, so we are enjoying this!

Vintage Small Town Charmer

We love seeing the kids’ reaction as we begin to decorate, when they come to trick or treat!

Our Victorian home was built in 1898, and when we bought it from the local funeral home owners, who SAID it wasn’t haunted!

A creepy silhouetted glows on the side of the house, and a bride who will never marry sways in the windows. The yard has become an old graveyard, surrounded by a rickety fence, with flamingos who are DYING to get in!

Skeletons everywhere include humans, oversized bats, cats, dogs, spiders, and more! Look UP to the second floor where some are even in cages! Standing on the corner, you’ll notice our House Has Eyes in it’s windows, and you’ll see an oversized, lit up spiderweb with a BIG spider perched on top (note- this turns into a Christmas tree Thanksgiving weekend).

Doll heads with glowing eyes line the walkway that leads you past a rusty cage full of zombies (it’s safe- as long as we remember to lock it!), and an old witch is floating against the wall.

As you go up the stairs (be careful! There is “barbed wire” on the railings and pumpkins clutter the steps), you’ll be able to see all the goodies on the porch such as cobwebbed corners, bats, candles, and an owl overhead. Every few days there will be something new added from bottles of poison to marbled statues.

On the bench, you’ll notice the pumpkins are ALIVE! Listen for a bit, and they’ll sing all of your favorite Halloween songs. If it’s the weekend before Halloween, leading up to the day of, dragon heads will have fog spilling out of their jaws!

If you peek inside the front door, you’ll see haunted portraits, and the bust of Frankenstein’s Monster and his wife.

As you turn rush to the bottom of the stairs, look past the werewolf and in the window above the garage, you’ll see somebody (or SOMETHING) watching you!!!

You better HURRY to the next house, but first look under the branches- ZERO is keeping the man-in-the-tree company, and the hedge is filled with eyes blinking in the night!

Hurry baaaack! Next time, be sure to bring your death certificate, because we’re dying to have you stay a little longer….
