We think the Halloween party for this spooky crowd began centuries ago at this historic home on West 6th Avenue. Classic architecture, combined with spooky guests, makes this perfect party house for Halloween. Lexington {Photo: Clarence Vernon Hargrave}

Perhaps the scariest of them all comes from the home of Angela Beckom in Thomasville on Denton Rd. Her life-life characters from horror movies have been stolen for two years in a row.
{Contributed Photos} Beckom has contacted media outlets in search of information about the theft. “This is the second year my stuff has been stolen, I'd get camera but there… to expensive.” Bekom said. “I love decorating my yard people love riding by and seeing it and kids love it and so do I. Im crazy about Halloween. So, I'm praying this story gets out there and stops the jerks who keep stealing my stuff.”

When the humans are away the skeletons will play. In a lively scene in the Grimes neighborhood skeletons appear to be scaling gutters, ziplining and tossing their heads on a poll for fun. One staffer said, “It reminds me of a college fraternity party.”
