PICS: Here are the 10 best Halloween displays in the St. Louis area
ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - If you're a fan of Halloween or exterior light and decoration displays you've come to the right place. We compiled a list of the 10 best front yard Halloween displays in the St. Louis area.
The people who have become well known for their search of the best holiday light displays in the area have expanded to the spooky season and begun compiling a new list of scary, glowing, moving and well-planned presentations from South County, Florissant, St. Charles and more.
This spooky yard, complete with a baby-doll zombie graveyard might be a bit too creepy for some with two gigantic spiders attacking the house, a fire breathing dragon, Frankenstein and the skeletons jangling around the front door. Go on Halloween for the candy, but keep your eyes open for moving creatures.
465 W. Jackson Road, Webster Groves
Get everyone you know into a car and go see this house. The decoration are executed with such attention to detail, no one will be disappointed.
There are bodies hanging in the trees, friendly pumpkins on the stairs, a jolly dead guy coming out of his picture frame and so many more elements that won't be seen anywhere else.
6500 Neosho Avenue, St. Louis Hills
This is not just one house, four combined front yards working together. The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, skeletons, witches and ghosts dancing all over the front of one house.
Watch for crawling dead guys and leaping spiders. You've been warned.
9211 Laurel Hill Drive, Crestwood
Cute and scary with a Hansel and Gretel house, fire breathing dragon, pumpkins, witches, cats and spiders. A fun warm up for the next display to come! You may recognize it has the same home as the "Teddy Bear Christmas Land" display.
This house in Kirkwood has so many features we’ve never seen before. There is so much to see, including a pumpkin patch, levitating body and look up to see the little eyes looking back at you. This yard is fun, not gory. Go trick-or-treat here and take a look around.
Oh wait, we almost forgot the hearse driven by the headless horseman and pulled by a skeleton horse.
This display is 18 years in the making. You must get out of your car for the walkthrough and head to the back yard, through the garage, around the house and all along the driveway. It’s got EVERYTHING.
1269 Brenthaven Lane, Florissant
The assortment of headstones and carvings will keep anyone entertained and the lighting is outstanding.
They even have a special Scaredy Cat Night on Oct. 25, where the lights will be on, but there will be no actors or animatronics.
They also accept pet food donations (dogs and cats only) to help local animal shelters.
6124 Leona Street, Holly Hills
You won't be able to miss that T-Rex greeting you at the gate, plus a red and very realistic black dragon. If you've never liked clowns you may want to stay away from that clown merry-go-round. And the lights here stay on 24/7 until Halloween.
This section of Holly Hills has plenty more houses to see too.
This is a whole other level of creativity! The night we showed up, the movie playing was "The Lost Boys," starring Corey Haim, Jason Patric, Kiefer Sutherland, Corey Feldman, and Dianne Wiest. And there's plenty to see besides just the movies.
Take a seat on that big stuffed teddy bear with the bloody feet if you dare, we hear he’s friendly.
This little house tucked away in South County holds a lot of creepy creatures. The most creative thing we saw was the “Diner, All You Can Eat,” with the heads hanging over the butcher and skeletons waiting to be served. The whole yard is covered in a giant spider web, and every night between now and Halloween, they’ll turn on the fog machine and add a whole layer of chill to this yard.
They are taking donations for ALS research.
