Last night we drove up and down every street in Holtville, stopping at what we considered to be the best decorated homes this Halloween. Here are our top 5 favorites:
 |
#5 - This display at 1112 Eighth Street was simple, but beautiful with wonderful color choices
for the lights and intricate spider-web work. |
 |
| #4 -This home at 829 7th Street featured a jolly-looking inflatable pumpkin witch as a centerpiece, but it was the small touches that put it on our list, including a spider that was back-lit with a strobe light. |
 |
#3 - This home at the southwest corner of Palm Ave. and Eighth Street was super simple featuring
nothing more than a green light, some spider webs, a spider and a jack-o-lantern, but it was spooky
and atmospheric and quite stunning, even from a distance. |
 |
| #2 - This display, found at 605 Maple Ave., would have taken the top spot for it's pure spectacle, featuring a whole mountain of light-up, inflatable decorations, but it wasn't quite as creative as our first-place winner. These decorations are all store-bought and slightly generic, but it's how the decorations were placed that made the display standout. |
 |
| #1 - Our favorite display this Halloween can be found at 954 Beale Ave. The homeowners who created this set-up clearly went above and beyond, showing a ton of creativity, unique decorations, a pleasing lay-out, and plenty of small details in their haunted graveyard-style display. I took photos of this home around midnight Tuesday and the owners were still busy working on it, adding last minute touches including a caged-skeleton which screamed and begged to be let free. The display was already awesome, but I’m sure it will be even better tonight when it’s completely finished. Don’t miss it! |
