Warning: Many of the Halloween decorations featured in this post are super adorable & cute, but a couple (hint: the beginning) may be frightening or even disturbing to some. So please be mindful of this and proceed with caution...IF YOU DARE!
Welcome to Halloween Week on AVSB :) Today I'll be showcasing some of the GORGEOUS homes we have here in New Orleans (Louisiana USA) and their FABULOUS Halloween decorations. Some of my older readers may remember I did this in 2013. I was out of town last year (2014), so it was SUPER FUN to do it this year. New Orleans had BEAUTIFUL weather last week. So I took a day, took in the fresh air & sunshine and snapped these pics. I love the cutesy stuff, but I know some of you like to get your FRIGHT ON >.< So this post has something for everybody. Enjoy!
Do you remember this mansion? This year the owner is doing a ZOMBIE: Infestation Site Theme
This home had a spectacular MUMMY theme! They were so tall! I thought it was gorgeous!
Did you get past all of the Zombies & Mummies?
Well here are some Skeletons, Pumpkins, Dracula and one crazy Clown waiting JUST FOR YOU!

Wait! Where are you ladies going? Did I miss Sephora's sale again? ;)
The
witch at this gorgeous mansion, always takes my breath away! It is SO GORGEOUS!
I thought the doorway to this house was so beautiful!
Potions...Potions...Potions! Is she holding a Sssssnake!?! Eek...
Enter If You DARE! Well I Survived The Rest...So Let's Give It A Go!
Well that wasn't so bad after all! I hope you guys enjoyed these pics. New Orleans is a popular destination to visit for Halloween. Do come and visit one day! This post was labor intensive, but it was a pleasure showcasing the gorgeous homes we have in NOLA (New Orleans, Louisiana). Visit my past HALLOWEEN and SEASONAL blog posts!

Man! New Orleans is my kind of town, Kim:) Love how all these houses get into the Halloween spirit. I wonder if they hire a company to do the decorating coz some of these stuff...that lady with her insides hanging out. Gaaaaah That's good enough for the movies! My kids would so freak out, but I love it:) And I like the one with the presidential candidates too:D

ReplyDeleteI do remember this post from 2013, Kim! I was so impressed then with the way that people in New Orleans went all out with their Halloween decorations, but it seems like this year is even better. I absolutely love the house with the mummy theme; I've really never seen Halloween decorations look beautiful before, but those were both gorgeous and scary!

Holy cow, they take Halloween to a whole new level and I am loving each and every one of it. My favourite has to be the zombie theme because well, it's zombieeessss and I've been obsessed with them since Nights of the Living Dead! LOL!

I need to go to New Orleans for Halloween in the future. The decorations are amazing. The named skeletons are the best though! The zombie theme is awesome too and so current.
ReplyDeleteThat zombie house is pretty awesome. Very Walking Dead!

WHOA!
ReplyDeleteYou put the warning at the beginning and mentally I was thinking "Pff, how graphic could it be?"
Then I scrolled down and landed on the zombie woman on the lawn. HOLY CRAP!
Man, New Orleans knows how to decorate 0_o

wow! talk about going all out!!! :) the woman on the lawn one was kind of difficult to look at but the rest were kinda neat!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I love Halloween decorations, so this is a real treat. NO is such a unique place! It has to be so much fun during Halloween! Love it!
ReplyDeleteSpooky! I love it haha x

Oh my gosh Kim, these are so scary. I love the pink mansion and the decorations. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I love the Halloween-enthusiasm shown by all of these people - the woman lying out on the lawn covered in blood is certainly creepy!! Halloween isn't a huge thing around where I live and so it's pretty much just pumpkins and a few decorations.. it certainly doesn't get taken outside the house and onto the lawn, though I wish it did!! ;)

Incredible, I had no idea Halloween was so massive there. The zombie lady was a little creepy, haha, I loved the "Monster Mash" part. Must be a frightful and wonderful experience to see. Thanks for sharing Kim.

Some people really go crazy for Halloween! These are all great, a few a bit too bloody for my taste, but it's all in fun. Great post!
ReplyDeletealways look forward to this post!! so much fun...showed mini-he these photos!
ReplyDeleteMost of these decorations were adorable...but that half eaten woman lying on the lawn...I wouldn't want to see that with my own eyes, so disturbing!
ReplyDeleteLove the Halloween spirit! And some of them are scary. Lol

Hahah wow you weren't kidding that we would fit right in! We don't have anything like this in my area apart from us and one or two other houses that go all out, I'll have to nudge them to take a vacation down there sometime :) Not to mention all of the houses are absolutely BEAUTIFUL, you live in a gorgeous neighborhood!
