Oakwood Halloween House (Raleigh, NC)

Two years ago we stumbled upon The Oakwood Dinosaur and its owner, attorney Jesse Womble Jones, after a trip to nearby Oakwood Cemetery. James informed us that every October, the dinosaur becomes part of an elaborate Halloween celebration. The whole front of the house is decked out in monsters. Then on Halloween, the whole area (four blocks) is cordoned off by police so that area children can enjoy his show. He also enlists an army of friends to act as zombies to walk around the neighborhood and also gets his cousin, Caleb Womble, and Caleb's wife, Eulyn Womble, to lend a hand. Caleb was a producer on The Walking Dead and Eulyn has been the show's costume designer since 2011. We finally made our way down to see his Halloween decorations two weeks ago and while he was still in the process of setting everything up, we were still VERY impressed.
