Ok so my house isn't that spooky, I have a toddler so have to temper what I put out. Not to mention 90% of my trick or treaters are 4 or under. But here is my house all done up, sorry not all the photos are great but gives you idea.

The walkway to the front door:

I had one little boy screaming "this is amazing", a tweener tell my my house is boss, some good parental compliments but best of all my son didn't want to leave the yard to trick or treat as he loved running around and showing everything to the kids that came by.

Looks great, I love your pumpkin hangers! I have about 10 in a crate, but since I moved I have no trees in my front yard. Love your windows too!

That's an awesome sight! All those little details and things to see are great! I'm sure people missed quite a few.

I like the bat scene setter in the hallway and the window covers. I don't know what it is, but I love real trees wrapped in lights like you have. All those floating jack o' lanterns are really nice as well.

Congrats on the fabulous display!

Fabulous work Shaft28! I wish I had the time and effort to put up a display such as this!

Thanks guys, my son had a blast running around showing off the yard to neighbors. To my 80 year old neighbors delight it was all down by Friday...my garage is a mess...

Shaft, your eye-catching display was made even more unique with techniques like hanging the pumpkins. Did you mention what you used to hang them? Also, I agree with mesmark, I've always liked the look of real tree trunks and branches wrapped with lights. I should do that for Halloween (and Christmas) if I ever have a tree in my front yard. Speaking of applying your ideas, I've always wanted to have a bat design similar to what you had along your walkway. Although I plan to actually paint it on the wall. Good idea for my kitchen!? Oh, maybe just in my spooky home office.
