2 Days to Halloween

Haunted Houses in Houston
 Since Bruce and I will be stuck at home studying on Halloween night, we decided to admire the Halloween decor today. Here are some of our favorite houses. Not only are these houses beautiful, but they have spared no inflatable prop while decorating. REALLY what happened to the good old spider webs and tomb stones? When I was a kid, people stuck chicken bones and fake blood on their front yard to scare off trick-or-treaters. Seriously, we need some good scary houses. Please send me a picture if you find one!

 This was Bruce's favorite. It's a spider crawling down the balcony.
This was the creepiest front yard. It was random scarecrow-like figures in purple dresses with masks. You have to give them an A for creativity.
 Straight out of a serial-killer movie is this colonial style home. I bet this house is frightening at night. If you look closely you can see that trick-or-treaters have to walk past the giant spider with a severed human foot dangling out of its mouth. And on the other side of the walkway is a graveyard who's occupants have dug their way out of their coffins. You may not make it back in one piece . . .
Pretty cool doorway decoration. 

 
Another haunted house that utilized the fake cob webs. They even have one of those creepy zombie babies on the porch bench.
Another cool entryway.

What 90's thriller does this scene take you back to? Arachnophobia! The movie that still haunts me these days. 

Now that you have got the hebe-geebees, see if you can find any houses in your neighborhood to top these ones.
