The Coolest House in the Neighborhood

This is a tribute to my late mother who passed away in 2021. In our family, Halloween was a holiday we took very seriously, and each year my mother and stepfather would decorate the front yard with an elaborate array of Halloween props. Then they'd dress in costume and absolutely terrify the trick-or-treaters who were brave enough to reach the front door that night! Because of this, everyone would anticipate visiting our house especially, as they'd refer to it as "the coolest house in the neighborhood" at the housing development of townhouses where we lived.

For this creation I created three simple LEGO row-homes along a street. Two of the houses merely have adults passing out candy to cheerful kids, but the middle home is completely decked out with Halloween decorations as a group of kids are running away in terror! The witch minifig at the scary house is a nod to my mother who was fascinated by classic witch lore and even collected miniature sculptures of witches in our old house.
