Spooky Houses That You Already Know, Part 2

A few weeks ago, I kicked off the Halloween season with some spooky houses and I promised you there would be more to come. Today, I am here to tell you that my promise has been kept.

Let's take a look at a couple of houses that rank pretty high on the spooky scale.

Edward Scissorhands

My buddy, Johnny Depp, played a very spooky looking, scissor-handed dude in Tim Burton's 90s classic. He lived in a castle that would be appropriately scored on the spooky scale.

He spent a lot of his time in suburbia where the houses were spooky in their own way. And pretty awesome in their own way too!

He spooked up the houses by trimming the shrubs like this

He fancied up all the ladies hair and he gave the pets some new dos.

And that concludes the spookiness that is Johnny D and his scissory hands.

Beetlejuice

Beetlejuice is another one of Tim Burton's classics from the 90s. I could write an entire post about Tim Burton's spooky houses. But I won't get crazy- I'll just keep it to just these two.


In the movie, the owners of this beautiful farmhouse pass away. Then, Winona Ryder and her 'rents move in.

They modernize the heck out of the house.

The original owners go all ghost on Winona and her family and try to spook them out. They even bring Beetlejuice in to help them. Winona eventually decides that ghosts are da bomb and performs a little Harry Belafonte, "Day-O" number.

And there you have one spooked up house.



Another spooky house bites the dust. Well, not really. But we are two spooky house posts down and one more to go.


And now for all you WYR lovers out there...
Would You Rather Question of the day:

WYR... spend one night in a sleeping bag basically hanging from a cliff in Yosemite (like the guys pictured below) 
or 
spend one night on a surfboard in an alligator-infested canal in Florida.

My clever mama helped me come up with this one. I like it.
