Like many, we are addicted to looking at great homes. For Halloween, we couldn't resist sharing some of our favorite spooky home dress-ups.



Other than Christmas, no holiday incites the imagination and the decorative prowess of Americans like Halloween. It’s one of our favorite traditions, the miraculous (or should we say devilish) transformations that houses nationwide undergo. It’s one of the rare instances where the lovable and the terrifying go hand-in-hand.  If for no other reason than to celebrate that paradoxical combination, we bring you our favorite Halloween houses of 2021.


Haunting houses

If this Los Angeles house almost feels like a movie set, maybe it’s because the person behind it – Christine McConnell – is a professional photographer.

Building from the ground up – literally – this homeowner puts their own creative spin on the zombie genre. Like if Danny Boyle art-directed a haunted house.

A unique sense of scale makes this decoration feel particularly grand – almost like the house is being picked up and played with by a terrifying skeleton.

The best thing about this house?  Take away the lights and you’ve got your Thanksgiving decorations already taken care of!

So good we wouldn’t be surprised if it graced the cover of the National Enquirer’s next UFO expose.
