I couldn't help noticing this yard as I drove by. My taste is a bit different: "less is more!" But, I guess if it makes them happy, it's okay by me, especially since it's not my yard.
Holy cow! That is a bit overdone! LOL... now keep your fingers crossed they take it down right after Halloween and dont leave it up for weeks on end (like people do with Xmas lights!)
I don't understand the ghoulish fascination with the decorations. Personally, I would hang out some lights and maybe some bats and owls. And that's it.
There are many places like this around me....one is sooooo tacky I will HAVE to post it...nearer to Halloween! Tacky? you betcha....not my taste either!!1
One tried to introduce the Halloween tradition in France a few years ago, but has not really worked... not based on any real tradition here and a bit too commercial only. ... but for you, it's really something!
I agree with you that sometimes less is more. But I'm sure the little ones in the neighbourhood just love all of the Halloween items out for display and they would probably scream "MORE, MORE".
That is definitely MORE!!

ReplyDeleteHi Kate, Halloween must be their favorite holiday! Thanks for thinking of us in San Diego.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of people who tend to go overboard with just about any holiday.
ReplyDeleteNot to my taste either, but what the heck?
I've heard of going all out for Halloween, but that's going a bit overboard.

ReplyDeleteWow, these people certainly take Halloween seriously! That's definitely a bit OTT, but it makes for a good photo.

ReplyDeleteAhah I adore your caption !!! (Also because your words are the mine)
ReplyDeleteSome folks love Halloween the best. It's not for me, but that's my problem I guess.
ReplyDeleteHalloween is the new Christmas as far as decorating is concerned.
