Halloween 2023: Submit Your Haunt For FL Patch's Tour Of Scary Yards

FLORIDA — The spookiest time of year is upon us in the Tampa Bay area - Halloween season.

And Florida Patch is compiling its 2023 guide to the region’s best Halloween yard displays - whether it’s a terrifying haunt that scares the pants off visitors or features more whimsical, family-friendly decor for the little ones.

Submit your yard display to us using this form, including images. After we receive your submission, your display will be added to our roundup of scary homes for readers to check out this season.

IMPORTANT: By submitting a photo, you're giving Patch permission to publish it for this feature and future stories. Photos should be original and taken by the person submitting the photo.

Please include the following information and follow these guidelines as you fill out Patch's form:

• We prefer that the homeowner submit his or her own yard, or at least an immediate neighbor or close relative.
• Include the exact address of the yard haunt and your phone number (not for publication) in case we need to get in touch with you.
• Let us know the date when your yard haunt goes live and when it shuts off for the evening, so looky-loos aren’t bothering your neighbors.
• Does your yard haunt have a name? Be sure to include it, or we can help you make one up.
• Will you be planning anything special for your display, like actors, walk-throughs, popcorn machines, etc.?
• Tell us what makes your yard haunt special.
• Does your display have a Facebook page or website?
• Be sure to include the links.
• Most importantly, what kind of candy will you be passing out to trick or treaters.
