Halloween House Decor: Spiders on the House

As I was walking my dog yesterday, I noticed a Halloween decor theme that seems to be new this year:  the giant spider on the house.  I didn’t take pictures on the first part of my walk, not thinking I would turn my observation into a blog post, but I snapped a few pictures in the last part of my walk.

I always enjoy walking or driving by this house.  The spiders go perfectly with the color palette of the house! Architecture by Stan Dixon.

Do you spot the spider above the arch of the front door? Not visible in this picture is a giant spider hanging from the tree – it truly looks real!  Architecture by Bill Baker (Suzanne Kasler Interiors was responsible for the interior design for this house – wish I could see the inside!).

On my usual driving route yesterday afternoon, I noticed even more spiders on houses, but did not have the time to document the trend with photographs.  I will keep my eye out for it tomorrow night, though!

Have a safe and happy Halloween!

  5. There is a "giant spider" theme running though Morningside too and lots of spider webs. Not nearly as much orange this year; it's almost subdued. No spiders here. We just got the old skeleton out of our closet. He seems happy to be back in service.

  14. We have our own spider, on a Web my husband made himself. Our neighborhood is almost more serious about its Halloween decorations than it is with Christmas -- it's truly the most creative time of year!
