Everybody knows the one house in their neighbourhood that break out the lights and decorations come Christmas or Halloween, rigging their home up to become a tourist attraction for a few short weeks. It's no easy feat to deck out your home in this manner and doesn't come cheap either. It's simply driven by a pure passion to frighten the bejaysus out of fellow neighbours.. Here are some of the worlds creepiest Halloween homes.

Black and White

This impressive monotone display has all the right elements for a spooky abode; graveyard out the front, creeping cartoon ghost and shadows galore.

Pumpkins

Why have just one pumpkin when you can have hundreds? We imagine they'll be dining on pumpkin soup for the foreseeable future.

Giant spiders

This colonial home lends itself perfectly to giant displays, like this creepy array or spiders in their webs.

Zombie yard

For fans of The Walking Dead series, this garden display of zombies will make perfect sense, for everyone else it’s more than a little creepy.

Little ghosts

Seems cute at first until you realise it's a disturbing séance of tiny ghosts.

Graveyard

This garden harpers back to a traditional scary graveyard scene, complete with scary caretaker.

Creepy dolls

There is something about dolls that will always be a little bit creepy. But standing en masse in the front garden, broken and bleeding, they're downright terrifying.

Ghostbusters

Creepy for the younger kids and mainly nostalgic for anyone over the age of 30, this homes occupants should be commended for their attention to detail and scale.

Minimal

There's not a whole lot going on here but some subtle placement of freaky people. However, it's more than enough to quicken the step of a passerby and to keep the kids away this Halloween.
