This townhouse in Prospect Lefferts Gardens is home to an impressive collection of skeletons, witches and ghouls.
Upper Yeesch Side
This charming pair is part of an elaborate display on the Upper East Side on 67th Street.

Chillin in the Village
An elegantly-spooky display of bats, autumnal foliage and skeleton/spider duo for good measure in the Village on Washington Place off Sixth Avenue.
Eek a House
This house in Queens looks like a major HQ for a creepy crew!

Not for the faint of heart, this Halloween house in Middle Village not only sports a highly-coveted larger-than-life skeleton, its creepy display continues. (Click through photos for more terrifying tableaus.)
