Lodi Couple Transforms Backyard Greenhouse Into Miniature Haunted House
Germaine and Renatta Owens had one thing in mind when they moved out of New York City into the suburbs: Halloween. The Lodi couple settled in Lodi last year -- ten years after getting married -- and almost immediately started planning for Halloween. "We love Halloween," Germaine told Daily Voice. "We just really, really love it." The Owens' 2018 display was a trial run, in a way. But the couple says this year, they're going all out. Welcome to Willow's Nest.Germaine Owens "This year we were like, 'Let's do it a little differently,'" Germaine said. "Ranetta is the brains behind the de…

: Boy Transforms Westwood Yard Into Haunted Halloween Heaven
Drive down Clinton Avenue in Westwood and you'll know exactly which house is Brody's. The lawn is a maze of headstones, spooky animatronics and shrieking children. That's just how the 9-year-old wants it. Brody, a fourth-grader at Brookside Elementary School, designs the display himself for the past five years, adding to it along the way, according to his mom, Kim Fowkes. "We started decorating when he was 4, and ever since then..." she looks at her son. "It's been mayhem," Brody said, finishing his mom's sentence. It gets spooky.Cecilia Levine Pirate skeletonCecilia Levine Hallo…

This Entire North Jersey Street Goes All Out For Halloween
Nearly every family on Clinton Place was outside on Sunday hanging Halloween decorations. Or at least, some decorations. The others would have to wait until another day because for many families on the Hackensack street, one day isn't enough to prepare for the holiday.

On Halloween night, the block is closed off for the nearly 8,000 trick-or-treaters that flood the sidewalks. Ralph and Maria-Rose Contini were working on building permanent piping to display Bruce -- one of the many wooden "Fin…
