A Halloween Display Has One Town Talking But Not Because It’s Scary

A Halloween display has one town talking but not because it's scary.  I love how more and more people are embracing Halloween and "Spooky Season."  When I would trick-or-treating as a kid in the '90s, I was weary of the houses with fog machines and strobe lights on their front porch.  My friends and I would get up the courage to walk up to those houses knowing something was about to jump out and scare us.  It always ended up being so much fun and usually, those houses had the best candy.  Fast forward to today and the Halloween decorations come out for purchase as soon as September hits.  It's hard to walk into any hardware store chain and not want to drop a few hundred dollars on a 12-foot skeleton or an 8-foot Jack-o'-Lantern.  People are also getting more and more creative with their decorations.

Sometimes a person's costume can be too "revealing" and cause a bit of controversy.  In this case, it was a Utah man's Halloween decoration display and residents in his neighborhood aren't too happy about it.  You can see how the scene is set in the tweet below and while this could be a little too much for some people, it's pretty creative.

The resident behind the display that the town is talking about is Christopher Fujishin.  He explains that it's all in good fun and not meant to upset people.  Some residents disagree saying it's disrespectful and shouldn't be seen by children.  While I love the thought of trying to create a funny Halloween display, I can understand how it might be a bit much for some people to handle.  Maybe he could tweak it and make it an interactive experience.  He could create a spooky club entrance in the front yard that says "21 and up only"  and use this same display in the backyard.  The full story is here!

I love the effort and creativity that goes into Halloween light shows.  I've noticed that it's been a new concept that has become more and more popular every year.  What used to be something you would only see at Christmas has become, in my opinion, way more popular and entertaining during Spooky Season.  There are so many fun ways to get creative with the decorations which helps give off the whole vibe of the show.

What's more entertaining to think about is the knowledge and skill set that goes into programming these shows.  Everything from the number of talking LED lawn Jack-o'-lanterns to the giant LED talking skull that is displayed on the second story in the middle of the house.  The preciseness of these visual masterpieces is what sets each one apart from the other.

I know a lot of people who prefer Halloween over Christmas when it comes to decorating.  They're the ones with props all over they're lawns like tombstones, giant spider webs, and monsters like Freddy Krueger or Michael Myers on display.  They always bring up the classic debate that A Nightmare Before Christmas is a Halloween movie and not a Christmas movie.

I love the effort and creativity that goes into Halloween light shows and while I haven't been able to find any local ones yet, I have come across several with a fun soundtrack.  I have two favorites below.  One of them uses Eddie's guitar scene from Stranger Things and the other loops a phrase from It and turns it into a dance mix.  It's pretty creepy to listen to but the creativity and timing, like all of these, makes one of my favorite things about Halloween.

This show is programmed to Toxicity by System of a Down.  I have never listened to the band but this video definitely gives off the high-energy spooky vibes.

A movie-themed show is a fun concept. This is a fun nostalgic light show if you're a fan of the 1998 spooky comedy, Beetlejuice.

This one is set to a remix of Somebody's Watching Me by Rockwell feat. Michael Jackson.  I like the skeleton band in the front of the house.

Here's a show set to a more dramatic version of Somebody's Watching Me.  I love when the eye balls display on the house.

Here's one for both Halloween and Christmas if tweaked a little.  This one is set to This Is Halloween from A Nightmare Before Christmas.

This show is set to Devil Went Down To Georgia.  The multiple camera angles make it one of my favorites.

This one IS my favorite.  This show incorporates Stranger Things and Eddie's guitar scene from the previous season.

My vote for the creepiest one I've ever seen goes to this one.  There's a whole IT concept behind it and that movie still creeps me out.
