    We had to park a couple blocks away and it was only about 5 pm. This place will be packed after 7 o'clock.

    This year there's food vendors lining the street. Cool!

    A little overly blatant plug for the homeowner Rick Griffith's 50's style pharmacy.

    The nerve of that guy!

    Displays.

    All the pumpkins on this huge display are carved as musical instruments and notes. All the pumpkins on the grounds are lighted, but these are synched to music as well. This years music is The 1812 Overture.

    This section off to the side is The Choir. Even has men's and women's sections!

    Good grief, where do you stop? Sorry this is so long, but, there's over 3000 jack-o-lanterns here.

    No way can I show them all.

    So I'm gonna quit.

    Right after this.

    As a Halloween related treat, Rick says that he thinks the house is haunted by a ghostly little girl. I'm a bit of a skeptic, so he gave me this video clip as proof.

    Skeptical as I am, there does seem to be something there. Do you see what I thought I saw?

     

     

     

     

    Hahahahahahaha!

    Have a frighteningly safe Halloween!!!
