2026 Halloween House Decorating Contest
Happy Halloween!
Drum roll please!
We had some new neighbors to the neighborhood and a former CHCA president as some of the secret judges, but this year, they voted for many of the same houses, but in conflicting categories. After some creative accounting work, the winners of the Neighborhood Halloween Decorating contest are:
Spookiest: 363 Loveman – A classic graveyard with a ghost moving to the neighbor’s yard and back. This setup has won multiple years, but there’s some additions this year.
Friendliest: 417 Kenbrook Dr – Wizard of Oz.
Most Creative: 525 Colonial – Spider infestation with purple lights.
Best Effects: 482 Loveman – multiple effects at this house.
Best Activity: 291 E Selby – Skeleton Football game!
And Honorable Mentions go to the following in no particular order:
- 176 Loveman, blow up spider infestation
- 244 Colonial, very tasteful display of lanterns and pumpkins amongst gnarled trees
- 332 Colonial, graveyard with sounds
- 506 Loveman, It’s a skeletal girl!
