16423 Harold, Oak Forest, IL
year: 2011
This yard display took us all by surprise. While searching for one of the regular Oak Forest displays, we came across this one, which featured lifesize figures of famous monsters like Jason, Freddy Krueger, and Mike Myers, as well as a first for us - figures of Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden!
Aside from store bought props like Michael Meyers (the best one we've seen at a display) and Jason, all of the figures were homemade, and featured Ghost Face from Scream, a werewolf, a jack-o-lantern headed ghoul, a wizard, and even a ghostly Michael Jackson (another figure we've not seen anywhere else). The entire setup was done with some creative flair and perhaps some tongue-in-cheek humor as well. For example, homemade car prop in the driveway featured a skeletal driver, a flashing light on top and said "Terrorists of Terror" on the side of it - whatever that means! All in all, a most interesting display, particularly since we stumbled upon it by accident! |
