“We love decorating for Halloween,” Dellamura said. “We love Halloween.”

“It's really amazing, so this is the biggest we've been in all of our times that we've put a display out,” Dellamura said.

But adding to their creation each year costs an extra buck, or a few hundred, making the season a little spookier.

“It's scary sometimes because when we have such a big display like this, and people are going to be looking and watching, we know we have to kind of keep adding to it or else it gets boring for everybody, and it gets boring for us too,” Dellamura said.” “I think we definitely might have kept Home Depot in business.”

“We really don’t budget very well for it, but we do it make it work because some things we just kind of need,” Dellamura said. “It's definitely turned into a trend for people to over-decorate their yards and have the most monsters and all this stuff.”

This trend could make prices reach wicked high amounts but won’t stop the Dellamura’s from having the creepiest yard on the block.

“That can get a little worrisome, but overall, it's not terrible,” Dellamura said. “It's a rewarding process to see it all come together.”

This family will keep their Halloween decorations up until the weekend after Halloween. Then, it’s time to prepare for their Christmas display, which isn’t quite as big as this one, but it’s in the process of getting there.
