2022 Halloween Nearby Tour

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.

2019 Halloween, Pre-pandemic Year

A couple of months ago, I met the owner of a house that I had taken pix and videos of for occasional years for Halloween and Christmas. The family was getting ready to move; I said I'd miss the holiday decorations. I offered to send links of YT videos and pix that featured decorations at the house. In poking around my files, I discovered my unprocessed stash of 2019 Halloween images.

I've posted Halloween images for 2018, 2020, and 2021. I'm late for putting out 2019, but I might as well complete the set. Hoping to be more timely for 2022.

The pandemic came early in 2020. The images I captured in 2019, imho, convey more carefree times with no inkling of the coming year's pall and caution over contact during Halloween. The video includes scenery from 25 houses, mostly whimsical. I went on a tear on October 31, 2019 with total of 50 pix and videos. On a few other days of recording and pic'ing, I was less ambitious.

Halloween Scenes Around (2018)


Jack O'Lanterns, skeletons, ghouls, ghosts, goblins, black cats, dragons, witches, oh, my! Additional ghastly, occasional cutie characters! The scenery owners seemed to have gotten into the spirit (grin). I fess up! These stills and clips from these 20 sites are from two weeks in October 2018. With so much nearby flora and fauna to pick from within a year's time, I kept kicking the 2018 Halloween blog-and-video can down the road. Stroll with me and view the Halloweeny sites/sights.
