Halloween Lawn Decorations Featuring Everyday 'Scary Things' Go Viral on Instagram

Please, anything but the taxes!

And the award for scariest decorations of the year goes to this Instagrammer's neighbor. 

If you're lucky, you may live near someone who's crafty enough to make a true-to-life pop culture-inspired Halloween display, or you may live close enough to one of the few award-winning haunted attractions in the country. But one Instagram user has a front-row ticket to the scariest house on the block. 

"Best October decor in town. #smalltownlife #hildasplaceinthisworld," Hilda Rebecca captioned a video shared recently on the social media platform. 

"My neighbor decided to decorate his yard with scary things...." a text box edited over the video reads.

The decorations were comprised of several handwritten signs, listing the most frightening things the homeowner could think of about living, and included:

  • Laundry

  • Rent

  • Calories

  • Gas Prices

  • Taxes

  • Bills

  • Quiet Kids

  • "We Need To Talk"

Commenters were quick to throw out their own everyday fears, giving the neighbors new ideas for next year. 

"Add 15 missed call from mom," one commenter suggested.

"*email from boss that says "give me a call when you get this," said another. 

"If they would of put a sign that says “tomorrow…..” I probably would of fainted 😟," someone else admitted. 

"I can relate! This is the scariest dang house in the neighborhood right now. 😂," another complimented. 

Next year, this neighbor should consider charging admission for the scariest haunted house in town!
