If you got it, haunt it!

RVC residents horrify their homes for Halloween

Posted

Every Halloween, residents from all over go to painstaking measures to make sure their houses are among the “spookiest” in the neighborhood, while at the same time making them an appealing destination for trick-or-treaters.

House decorations that once started out as simple layouts of ghosts, witches, cobwebs, and spiders has now evolved into ones that display murderous life-size monsters, creepy graveyards, skeleton people, and bloody execution scenes. The gorier, the better!

Some homes in Rockville Centre have gone above and beyond with its Halloween décor this year…so beware!

For those who enjoy zombie fight scenes, the place to be is 200 N. Forest Street. The left side of the walkway features an action-packed setting with the protagonist and his partner trying to fight off attacking zombie creatures with their weapons while inside a barbed-wire fence. There are other monsters lurking form the right side of the walkway and the whole mash-up is being viewed by hooded skeletons, an elderly witch and other evil beings.

The homeowner is hoping you will enjoy the display so much that you would want to make a donation to Sunrise Day Camp in Wyandanch, a non-profit facility that gives children with cancer and their siblings an opportunity to enjoy a summer-camp experience.

The Angoglia family at 32 Hamilton St. used their time together to build a graveyard motif, complete with RIP stones, skeletons, a human rising form the dead, and a trench-coat creature looming in the back. There is a ghost hanging from a tree and caution tape on the front windows with “ZOMBIES” written on a wood panel.

“It’s something for the kids,” said Vinnie Angoglia. “They’re getting older. I’m looking for ways to get them involved. It’s something for the family to do together.”

Agoglia plans to add even more decorations to his lawn.

“I love Halloween!” he exclaimed.

Linden Street is also be a happening block this month with three separate dwellings getting into full Halloween spirit.

The homeowners at 136 Linden Street have a similar cemetery scene , but added a shrunken head on a stick, giant spiders and skeletons and ghosts on the front stoop and porch. A red light on the law provides the spooky illumination.

Across the street and hidden behind a large tree at 129 Linden is another eerie cemetery. The stones display the buried souls of people named “Iva Rose”, “Ernest Salem”, and “Mary Niser”, which is closely guarded by a skeleton animal, while a decomposed man in a tattered brown suit peeks out from underground to greet all visitors.

Further down the road at 107 Linden is a simple display of tombstones on the lawn accompanied by skulls, witches, ghosts, an evil pumpkin and a lighted doorway that welcomes anybody who passes by.

Finally, at 7 Dorchester Road, on the corner of Hempstead Ave., the homeowners put on a display that isn’t for the faint of heart. Several dismembered bodies canvas the left side of the lawn, with two nun-looking executioners standing over a bloodied circular saw. On the other side sits a female, clad in a long white dress, removing her severed head and a zombie girl riding on a swing. Tombstones are scattered along the lawn and under the careful watch of a grey-haired ghoul dressed in a dirty black suit and white dress shirt.
