“It started out as a couple little things in year one, when we had our first daughter, and then it just sort of grew every year,” he told CTV News Edmonton. “The kids are my inspiration for doing it all.”

Tiana Field-Ridley’s family has created a Halloween tunnel. As her kids got older and turned away from traditional trick-or-treating, they created a yard full of scares that eventually grew to encompass the neighbourhood. This year’s theme is “butcher shop.”

“Everybody can come in. You get big chocolate bars at the end, so it’s worth the scare,” she said.

Keith Lennie also does a variation of fun decorations in his front yard each year, from vomiting skeletons to homemade coffin decorations.

“It’s one of my favourite holidays of the year, whether you call it a holiday or not,” he said. “But I love it.”
