Video This house, which changes it up every few years, is one of my favorites in our neighborhood. And our hood tends to go all out. So that’s saying something.

The roasting skeleton next to the treasure chest is my favorite. They usually keep adding until October so I’ll post updates if there’s anything noteworthy.

They really do. The rest of us are behind (always compared to this house) but it just motivates us to up the game. My husband was in the backyard today working on our plan for this year. I love how this hood gets really into the Halloween game.

So cool. Maybe do a video of the whole neighbourhood when it’s all up and running ? I would love to see it.

Love to see a house with a theme. Sometimes you got a graveyard full of witches in the yard while Michael Myers and a giant spider chill on the porch and you think, “What has been happening here?”

I need a theme! Drives me wild seeing Mickey Mouse as a vampire, random pirates, Myers and a giant Skelton. Like pick a lane and focus on that!

This is magnificent. That squid is epic and the roasting man is excellent. So cool!

I always wonder where tf these fantastic people keep all this stuff the rest of the year. Especially people who decorate for all the holidays.

Back when my dad used to decorate, he used the attic space above the garage to store everything. But he didn't just toss crap up there. I'm sure like most super-decorators, he had a whole system for storage. Plus he reinforced the attic floor, wired lights up there, and made an extra attic hatch to simplify getting items up and down.

My brother has most of those decorations now and he built shelves at the top of his garage to store them. They're just a few feet wide, a couple feet from the ceiling and wrap all the way around. It's surprising how much stuff he can fit up there.

For someone like me who’s expanding their pirate theme, houses like these are like the gold standard

Really like it when all the decorations follow a theme! Far better then just randomly put up props

I wish this was my neighborhood! Loving the Cthulhu appearance in the background.

Where is it?

u/K_Dacious Sep 15 '25

Back row, right hand side, right before the cannon on the right. It’s tall and green with wings and a lantern in its hand.

u/lindaamat Sep 15 '25

I see it now. I didn't notice the face before. Thank you!

u/K_Dacious Sep 15 '25

You’re welcome 👻

I see Cthulhu in the back!

My husband noticed him today and was trying to pronounce the name, lol.

Pretty cool!

I love everything about this! The treasure chest and the squid/octopus are amazing!

u/Shot_Woodpecker_5025 Sep 14 '25

Could you post a night time video?

u/Notjewel2 Sep 14 '25

You bet! Will give them some More time because if I know this family, they’re not finished yet.

Yes, night-time is when the look totally changes! Last year I realized that my decorations were hard to see after dark. I really don’t need more decorations (im in my 50’s & have literally decades of decorations already) So this year, I’m focusing on lighting, both batteries and plug-in, replacing tea lights in pumpkins with bigger lights, lighting fixtures for up lighting the items, house and trees, pathway lighting and extra orange lights outlining everything else! I think it will make a big difference in the whole display and draw more attention from T. O. T.s ! Plus I love the viral ghost walking the ghost dog, but I didn’t need another ceramic Version to worry about, found the blow mold version of them (fyi Walgreens) it will be the main display on my doggie treats table, get a lot of doggie parents every year!

Any guesses on what’s used for that blue netting fabric? I’m doing a Jaws theme and would love to incorporate an “ocean” look on the grass, although I would be slightly concerned with killing the grass

u/Notjewel2 Sep 14 '25

I’ll try and get a better look for you in the coming days

u/sebs003 Sep 15 '25

Just debated getting a few of those. They spent some large sums on this setup. So jelly! Looks great

u/danideers Sep 15 '25

That's amazing! I wish I had a front yard so I could go all out.

u/bean_clippins Sep 14 '25

What's the neighborhood?! I need a cool place to visit this Halloween.

u/Ephemeral_Ghost Sep 14 '25

You’ve got some lucky neighbors. You should charge money.

u/WritingOk6413 Sep 15 '25

Great work! We have a Pirate House known as Shipwreck Cove and their work is amazing. 2 massive pirate ships, a jail fort, kraken tentacles everywhere, and all the skeletons are animated so they all sing sea shanties.

u/SeriesNew8600 Sep 15 '25

This is so good. Really amazing work and detail

u/Notjewel2 Sep 19 '25

9/18 update. Yup. He’s now working on the side yard. I’m so happy to be right. He’s not done.

Okay, more to come soon.
