More Halloween decor

I just love Halloween.  Just as I thought it couldn't get any better, more of my neighbors have decorated for the holiday.  I am pretty sure that some of the decor may be a little scary for some of the smaller children, but then if they don't make it to your door that is more candy for you to eat!  I still remember when I was little there was one house in the neighborhood who set up a coffin in their front yard, and I believe someone was in it to scare the kids as they approached the front door.  This was a time before people decorated like they do now and we were all way too scared to ever make it to the door.  Perhaps kids are braver these days.

Here are a few of the more impressive homes I have seen:

First of all, this house is huge.  Now I know it is a little difficult to see in this photo, but in the top left is the largest spider ever.  I was driving by when I saw this hairy guy and I creeped me out even from the safety of my cars.

OK, so this house is not scary, but has beautiful fall decor that should last them through Thanksgiving.  I am assuming that they hired a florist to do this work and it really is beautiful. I just love all the fall colors and the various textures. This is the first time I have seen garland used for anything other than Christmas, but it totally works. I also love the hurricane lanterns hanging at the top and bottom of the stairs.  I have not seen this house lit up at night, but I bet it is just gorgeous. 

This little graveyard is located at the end of my street.  It started with one headstone, but the cemetery has quickly filled up (and it appears to be haunted).  I especially love the skeleton coming out of the lawn.

This is by far the scariest house in the neighborhood (especially if you are an LSU fan like I am).  Notice the blood red coloring.  Also, the flag represents Satan Saban.  Nothing is scarier.
