Families go all out with Halloween decorations as KRDO13 Trick-or-Treat Map takes shape
EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. -- With warm fall weather settling in this weekend, families are rushing to finish last-minute Halloween decorating, and some are going all out.
We’re featuring a few of the most decked-out homes as we collect viewer submissions for our KRDO Trick-or-Treat Map showcasing the best places to visit on Halloween night.
KRDO13 spent the evening with some of the masterminds behind these scary good set-ups, and if you need some inspiration, as we approach all hallows' eve, the homes we visited today will surely get you in the spirit.
The first house we visited was in the wagon trails neighborhood, and the homeowner, Beth Vaughn, says she hopes her love for the holiday is something she can share with her son. But more than that, she loves seeing the excitement it brings to other people.
"The main thing is just seeing all the people and how happy it makes them to see all the fun decorations as well," says Vaughn.
And as the sun set, the more these monsters came to life, which brings us to the next spooky house being taken over by aliens.
If you find yourself trick-or-treating at this house, they may abduct your candy like they did this cow, so I'd hold it a little tighter.
Homeowner, Jeffrey Dansby, says he loved this stuff as a kid, and he even got to pass the tradition along to his own children. Now they're all grown up, but he and his wife don't see any reason to stop now.
"Every year, I'll say, I'm going to wind it down this year. But... I end up doing it again and doing some more stuff," says Jeffrey Dansby.
If you're looking to take a spooktacular tour of some great homes, or if you'd like to submit your own home for consideration, you can do so until October 31.
