VIDEO: B.C. woman turns front yard into Halloween extravaganza

Barb Langhorn loves Halloween.

Just drive by her home at 2316B Willemar Ave. in Courtenay and see for yourself.

Virtually every inch of her yard B次元官网网址 and carport B次元官网网址 is covered in Halloween regalia, and yet somehow she manages to add to it every year.

B次元官网网址淚 do it because I love to see the kids happy,B次元官网网址 she said. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 one day a year that I can give back a little.B次元官网网址

As one half of a duplex, she shares the lot, but she said her next-door neighbours are very accommodating.

B次元官网网址淭hey are great with it. They bring the kids over, as many of the neighbours do.B次元官网网址

The display features skeletons of all shapes and sizes B次元官网网址 even one of a horse B次元官网网址 Jack-o-lanterns, ghosts, goblins, witches and warlocks. There is a spooky merry-go-round, and even a band of skeletons playing in the carport.

B次元官网网址淭hey play their own music B次元官网网址 banjo and guitar.B次元官网网址

Projectors that show werewolves and witches and dancing skeletons will be set up for Halloween night. There is even an interactive station for the trick-or-treaters.

B次元官网网址淭he table has things they can touch and play with - books that move, and just different little things,B次元官网网址 said Langhorn.

Langhorn adds to the display every day until Oct. 31. The star of the show is her fire-breathing dragon, which will be the final piece assembled.

B次元官网网址淗eB次元官网网址檚 the last thing we put up. He is very delicateB次元官网网址 the wings and such,B次元官网网址 she said. B次元官网网址淗e breathes fire, blows smoke, has blue eyes. He will be up for Halloween night.B次元官网网址

Langhorn has no idea how many ornaments and features she has on display, but she does know she is running out of room on her lawn.

B次元官网网址淥h, IB次元官网网址檝e already run out of room,B次元官网网址 she said.

B次元官网网址淣ext year we will probably fill up the rest of the room on the (second-floor) deck. ThatB次元官网网址檚 where the dragon goes.

Langhorn gets in on the act as well. She makes sure to dress up in order to entertain the trick-or-treaters on Halloween.

B次元官网网址淟ast year I was a dinosaur. This year I will be the Queen of Hearts,B次元官网网址 she said.
