Does anyone else deck out the yard for Halloween?

I live in an apt.

'Fun topic, MoreGore.

As a teen-ager, I wasn't allowed to haunt the yard. Mother thought
it would attract the wrong element and Father didn't want to see
our lawn turn brown from lack of watering. I was grudgingly permitted
to haunt the front window which I did with Don Post masks. This may
have been my first set-up ever, circa 1970 >



Nowadays at my middle class home in Suburbia USA, I treat the neighborhood
trick-or-treaters to an abbreviated version of my convention displays.
Who knows? Maybe they'll develop a taste for classic horror >

I like yard haunts, but I prefer to keep all of my monstering inside the house. Bad things can happen to blow molds left outside- dirt, damage, theft, sun-fading, etc. Also, calling attention to your house may bring about the wrong kind of interest. Most people will just look and enjoy but a few might be moved to more negative activities.

Paranoid? maybe. Careful? yes.

Hope those aren't outside, unguarded!

I guess it depends on the neighborhood you live in but always enjoyed the happiness on kids and parents faces I would have lines in my driveway with TOTs on Halloween night yeah sometimes stuff would get stolen but that was rare

I decorate every year with different themes. Last year was a foot race of skeletons, each dressed in my old running shirts and medals. This year will be a sunken treasure theme with the Haunted Diver and skeleton pirates. chocolate doubloons will be the treat.

I live in a small community. My neighbors are police officers, retired military and civil servants, so we don't have a high crime rate. Nothing has been stolen so far. Mo, my 105 pound Antilian Shepard keeps a close watch on things too! she welcomes the kids and discourages the bad guys.

That's such a great image — pure early-'70s Halloween vibes. Don Post masks at the front window instead of the yard somehow makes it even creepier and more memorable. You can almost picture the glow from inside, the quiet street, and that classic slow-burn spooky feeling. Honestly feels like the origin story of a lifelong haunter 🕯�🎃
