Halloween Displays

Neighborhood Fun

Near Halloween my energetic neighbors erect amazing holiday decorations. They seem to get more elaborate and entertaining every year. I took a stroll one early evening and took some pictures. This enormous inflated black cat looks impressive at night.

A happy group of tike friendly inflatables occupy the lawn next door.

This modest display looks quite nice at night.

Further up the street is a nice backlit window display.

A colorful graveyard sits below the previous window display.

Next door to the previous display a large spooky figure greets trick or treaters approaching the door.

New neighbors contributed the following two colorful additions to the street's entertainment.

The biggest, most complicated Halloween showplace is an amazing collection of spooky figures.

Let's take a closer look at some individual creatures. First, we have the skeleton and his werewolf pal. Notice the chain hanging from the werewolf's arm as if he just broke restraints. The werewolf produces a scary recorded monologue and a howl. His glowing eyes are wonderfully effective!

Next, the flying witch seems to be suspended in midair near the scarecrow reaper and foreground mummy.

An illuminated arch of skulls and bones, an animatronic clown, and a huge animatronic rising scarecrow greet anyone approaching the front door. I honestly wonder if very small children would be quite frightened by all this.

This cleaver wielding pig man was recently added to the previous lawn display. I find his white "butcher cap" hilarious.

I viewed other nice displays in daylight. I particularly enjoy the ghostlike figure suspended above the gravestone below. The animatronic Frankenstein nearby makes a nearly unintelligible speech when activated.

I also have to smile at the skeleton walking his skeleton dog. He even carries a poop bag!

Finally, my son-in-law always makes creative use of small skeletons and various household items to create a skeleton lawn party.

The central "fire" with red light under the pot is really effective! The squeezable chicken in the pot emits a hilarious squawk when activated.

It's a treat to enjoy these displays every year!
