The Ghoul Next Door: 10 Outrageous Yards Decorated for Halloween


Posted by Babble.com ( Sat, Oct 27, 2012)

Is it just me, or are the Halloween decorations extra crazy this year? I don't know if more people are going all out for Halloween or if I'm just noticing it more, but it seems like some folks like to get their ghoul on even more than they enjoy decking the halls with boughs of holly. Here then are 10 of the coolest, cleverest, spooktacular Halloween yards around. If you haven't gone all out yet, maybe these will inspire a last-minute change of heart! - By Monica Bielanko

I'm seeing more and more Christmas-like lights being used on Halloween and I totally dig it. Lights all year round, I say! Bring on the pink Valentine lights!

This is something you can do on the fly at home. Stuff some of dad's close and hang them from a tree. Or just prop him in a chair next to the front door

A car mysteriously sliced in half ?

Spotted earlier this month: a car mysteriously sliced in half, lying on its side at the Singapore Expo car park

The most bizarre and unexpected footage captured on in-car cameras! You'll never know what could happen to your car on the road....



No, it's not the result of a crazy accident but actually part of a creative marketing campaign by local bank DBS as part of their DriveShield campaign.

A 44-second video mysteriously entitled "Halved Car" purportedly shows how the car came to be sawn in half.

It shows two young men dressed in bermudas sparring at night with a green and red light saber in an epic battle. One eventually manages to knock the other's light saber out of his hands, resulting in the weapon spiralling through the air before finally slicing through the car straight down the middle.

The video, which was uploaded two weeks ago, has since gone viral, with more than 77,000 views.
The ad is the first of a series of three videos, of which the latter two are tantalizingly called Iced and Magnetized.
We can't wait.
