American Gothic
Dubbed the "Queen of Halloween" by the neighborhood kids, Mary says her family’s Gothic-style home is not just the spookiest house on the block — it’s one of the spookiest in America. They bring their 1881 home to eerie life each year with giant staring eyes, a graveyard and a fog machine. They even have a nineteenth-century copper gargoyle, salvaged from a Chicago building, peering down from the third story "bat belfry." The spooky decorations coupled with the home's original slate mansard roof and Victorian paint scheme make this house seem like it's right out of The Addams Family.
