Homes with Scary Halloween Spirit

By WCMY News Oct 23, 2023 | 7:30 AM

Through Tuesday, October 31st, I’ll post a photo of a home from the area with the Halloween Spirit. I’ve taken some, but if anyone wants to send me their photos, please email them to me at KReynolds@wcmyradio.nrgmedia.com.

So, while I was wondering about when people started putting up outdoor Halloween decorations. I found an answer through a survey of 1,250 people nationwide taken by Angie (formerly Angie’s List). Here are their results of when people deck out their homes for the spookiest night of the year.

  • 62% of survey respondents decorate for Halloween before October 9.
  • 60.2% of respondents remove their decorations within one week of Halloween.
  • 69.21% of survey respondents spend at least three to six hours decorating for Halloween.
  • 50% of survey respondents decorate with lawn inflatables.
  • 72.88% of respondents are okay with gory decorations, but the most popular theme is family-friendly, with 35.92% choosing it for their home.
