Tracy’s Spooktacular Halloween House Tour

Hey, this isn’t my house! I’ve been really negligent about Halloween decorating myself this year (although I may have a small post for you later), so this year I’m showing you the house of the best Halloween decorator I know, my friend Tracy (who gets a lot of help from her son/Milo and Gus’s good friend, Jack). I meant to do this last year, actually, but this being a crazy busy time of year, it just didn’t happen.

Tracy also throws a killer Halloween party, complete with a haunted house in her garage (Dave was over there last weekend helping construct a drop panel for said haunted house. We’re all very excited to see the final product.

Warning: CREEPINESS ABOUNDS AHEAD!

Things start off innocently enough, with this pumpkin guy welcoming you from the street:

But then things take a turn for the scary when you get a little closer. It’s a cemetery! Right here in the front yard! This can’t be a good sign:

Scary toad!

This dog does not look very friendly. Also, can’t put my finger on it, but there’s something weird about him:

Actually, there seem to be a lot of strange dogs around here:

Well, at least this sign lets you know what you’re getting yourself into:

Let’s go inside! What could go wrong?

See, this lady looks very welcoming. I mean, her eyes are a little…intense, but surely there’s nothing TOO scary…..

Yikes. Never mind! Clown room!

Don’t go in the clown room!

Phew! This looks more inviting. Gargoyles are generally VERY friendly. I know because of the Disney version of the Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Alas! Lulled AGAIN into a false sense of security!

(isn’t this little side table awesome? I love it even when it’s not covered with skulls and scary books)

See what I did there? I saved what is arguably the creepiest picture for last! Big finish!

Thanks to Tracy for sharing her house!

Oops! Coming back to edit this post, because I just realized I forgot to include the nighttime photos Tracy sent me. Warning: MORE clown creepiness:

  1. My absolute favorite is the dog with the green eyebrows. Second favorite is the rat clinging to the suit of armor–“saves me!” It’s all excellent, but I might need a tour of the garage next.

    • I wish I could do a tour of the garage! I’ve tried to think how to do it (it’s not done yet, but I saw last year’s, so I’m sure this year’s will be great), but I think it’s just too dark for my camera to make any sense of it!

  2. Thanks everyone!! My son actually does a lot of the decorating! He lights up the clowns at night and they really look scary.

Like all human bloggers, I love comments :)
