Amazingly, I've recorded five years' worth of Halloween decorations nearby. Some sites are familiar, although these homeowners tend to vary their scenes with some prop change-outs or rearrangings. Decorations didn't pop up plentifully until about a week or so before Halloween; most of them gone only a few days afterward.
This Halloween felt like a return to pre-pandemic normalcy. In 2020, several decorated houses put up social-distancing tables for handing out their goodies to trick or treaters rather than wait for doorbell rings.
The video includes scenery from 25 houses, most taken on October 30 and 31. All pix and videos were during day time. (This year, I passed on night shots and recording.)
I noticed mostly balloons for props. Skeletons and disjointed skeleton bones were prominent. A few ambitious sites showed a ghoulish scene, a pirate ship theme, graveyards with tombstones, .... The video closes with a turkey emerging from a pumpkin to hail (?) the coming of Thanksgiving.

Wow, a true commitment in your neighborhood to the Halloween holiday! Especially the ghost pirate ship... I do sorta wish for spooky music playing... :)
WendyW, glad you enjoyed the tour! The pirate ship scene and elaborate ghoulish spread at the beginning impressed me. I wonder where these people store all that stuff during the other eleven months.
