Skeleton Crew

Last year more than 260 children descended on the Cathcart Boulevard home of Natalie Parkkila & Nick Aveling despite – or because of – their creeped-out front yard. What began with a few pumpkins and skulls has grown into a full-fledged frightfest that haunts their yard and that of neighbour Jeri Lynne Charron at 1071 and 1065 Cathcart. The lights are on from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., and even more decorations and animated props come out Halloween night. Glenn Ogilvie
