Trick or Treat – or Both!
My two favorite holidays are Halloween and Christmas. Yes, I do own the movie A Nightmare Before Christmas! LOL and have seen it dozens of times.
At my house, we go big with the Halloween decorations. And of those decorations I have a few particular favorites.
My first favorite isn’t a single decoration, but a collective scene made up of many decorations. Dining with the Dead is set up in my dining room each year. We try to add something new each year, but basically, it’s a ghostly celebration with a skeleton bride, skeleton dogs, poison, bugs, snakes, and other fun, scary items. The bride’s eyes light up and my little grandchildren love to look from afar, but are not willing to walk by them.
My second favorite would be my doll collection from Evil Nursery. These are customized dolls and some are clearly themed, but some are just wicked, which I love. From Frankenstein to Edward Scissorhands and from Pin Head to Dracula and the Mummy, there are several of these unusual, unique and unnerving little dolls. I love them. There’s something unnerving about dolls staring at you, (at least that’s what my guests say). * insert wicked laughter here*
I have several motion sensor and battery-operated Halloween items that are fun. From a haunted typewriter, phone and book to a spooky Ouija board and Jack Skellington who greets little trick or treaters at my front door, just about anywhere you walk in my house will set something off.
My house is covered in skeletons and my yard has a cemetery in it this time of year. The plane my grandchildren play on have skeletons riding it. We all have fun enjoying the decorations. Do you decorate for Halloween? Do you have a favorite decoration or display?
Here are some other authors and their favorite decorations from home!

In the photo, it’s our house at Halloween time, and my favorite is the spider lady who is truly creepy. We put out gravestones and a few skeletons in tattered clothes, but that spider, I feel, is from one of my nightmares. Bought at a Halloween store but feels very personal to me.

This is in front of my home and it always makes me laugh when I see it.

I like to mix a bit of normal with my macabre. LOL This "Fairy Garden" has skulls and a guillotine and bones in the dirt. It's more of a Cemetery Garden and I hope people will see it from afar, walk up and be totally creeped out! LOL
