Halloween

“No wonder they come to your house looking for ghosts. Ghosts are spilling out of the walls.” Tania De Rozario

Vintage Small Town Charmer

We had never decorated during spooky times before, so we are enjoying this! We love seeing the kids’ reaction as we 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 yard flamingos protecting their grass.

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 see the House Has Eyes in it’s windows, and at the top of the lit up spiderweb is a BIG hairy spider (side 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 decorations move and something new added will be added.

On the bench, you’ll notice the pumpkins are ALIVE! Listen for a bit, and they’ll sing all of your favorite Halloween songs. As the te weekend before Halloween looms close, dragon heads will breathing hot smoke.

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 to leave, rush to the bottom of the stairs, look past the werewolf and in the window above the garage, and 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….
