Louis is a Halloween fanatic. In fact, he hails from a long line of Halloween fanatics. Louis' brother Andrew married his bride Niki yesterday because of their collective love of Halloween. Now that's a commitment to Halloween! So I thought I would give you a look at Louis' Haunted House. (Notice the hands from beyondthe grave, above). Spooky!

The fence was created from Louis' garden pruning all summer long.


A scary close-up!


Two of the hand-carved pumpkins - Louis is a cat-lover. (Hi, Jasmine and Buddy!)

Some friendly ghosts for the smaller trick-or-treaters.



Love the hanging skeleton! And bats in the tree!

Louis hand-carved and painted all the tombstones out of Styrofoam. Talented, isn't he?

More pumpkins.


You dirty rat!


The whole house - fantastic, right? Notice the ghost on the roof?


Of course, the inside of his house had to be decorated for the season, too. Louis is a professional granite installer and his house is full of wonderful granite pieces, like the buffet counter and the dining table.


Yeah, it's a beer on the ottoman - Halloween is a party after all!

Lots of blue and white lights and scary music outdoors completed the look in the dark. Fifty little people dropped by for Louis' hand-assembled treat bags. A great success - and the neighbourhood is already looking forward to next year to see what he will do!

Happy Halloween! Thanks for the tour, Louis!
