Scariest Wellesley Halloween houses and adorable pics of the parade

October 30, 2017 by Deborah Brown Leave a Comment

We’ve scared the Wellesley Recreation Department into telling us the three homes that won the annual Halloween Decorating Contest. Once again, I’m terrified of these homes.

Wellesley Halloween, Judges Choice
This Cape home looks perfectly innocent most of the year, but don’t let that classic New England foliage fool you. There’s horror in that yard. It won Judges Choice. Be careful what you choose, judges.

 

Wellesley Halloween, Most Creative house
Congratulations to the Most Creative House winner. The skull is a nice touch, most likely a trophy from this family’s vacation wanderings.

 

Wellesley Halloween, Scariest house
Wellesley’s Scariest House. I fear the intensity of these decorators’ gifts.

Plus the Wellesley Recreation Department and Wellesley Hills merchants this past weekend attracted 600+ trick-or-treaters and their parents/guardians for a Halloween parade followed by a party at Clock Tower Park. All photo credit goes to Wellesley Rec. These families outdid themselves in cuteness this year.

How do Tiggers climb trees? They bounce, that’s how.
Not everybody is certain that Halloween is the best idea in the world.

More adorable pics below.

Wellesley Halloween
I’ve never seen the likes of this costume before. It should definitely win number one in a contest. Or number two.
