2022 Haunted House Gallery: Updated With More Silver Spring Photos

SILVER SPRING, MD — As the days get colder and the nights grow longer, Halloween inches closer. Not only is the holiday a night for trick-or-treaters to score some sweet candy, it also gives the scary set in Silver Spring the chance to decorate their homes with ghosts, ghouls, witches, skeletons, and jack o' lanterns.

Patch asked its readers to share photos of their Halloween decorations for our 2022 Haunted House Gallery. Below are some of the photos we've received from Silver Spring residents.

This large skeleton decorates the yard at 9300 Saybrook Ave. in Silver Spring (Amy V. Uhrin)"Drove 6 hours round trip to pick up this skelly in 2020. Each year we decorate him based on some theme. Here, he has succumbed to a spider outbreak! We won our neighborhood’s yard decorating contest this year!" — Amy V. Uhrin, Silver Spring

"The Catalina Haunt is located at 11423 Catalina Terrace Silver Spring, MD 20902. This is my 7th year doing this and the community loves coming out the whole month of October to enjoy the spooky animations that talk to you and jump scare the brave souls. Stop on by Wednesday and Thursday 6:45pm until 8pm and Friday and Saturday until 8:30pm. Halloween is going to epic so stop on by. Last year we had over 500 little ones enjoying a night of fun and excitement!" — Holly Agouridis, Wheaton

"We have been running our Ravenscroft Manor haunt for over nine years. Each year we enhance the theme and try to find a way to keep it fresh. Our layout is basically a haunted cemetery complete with tombstones, coffins, and spooky residents who refuse to leave the grounds.

"We have most of the tombstones and props up by October 1st. The animatronics come out as we complete them, because we are trying to build things after-hours and on the weekends. Every year we add something new so it takes 2-3 days to set everything up. But no matter what, everything is down every year on November 1st.

"This year we set up an Instagram page so everyone can follow our progress as well!

"Our haunt has lights only every evening from 6-10. We are located at 14704 Carona Drive, Silver Spring MD 20905. Halloween night is the full show- we add the fog, sounds and motion sensor props for the big night!" — Mordsithjen

Bob and Melissa decided to share a few photos of their Dead End Cemetery, located at 2724 Cassedy St. in Silver Spring. Here's what they had to say about their Halloween decorations:

"We have been haunting National Park Seminary since 2016. The boarded up windows and many of the tombstones are handmade by me. While the three skeletons on the second story window sills purport to See No Evil, Hear No Evil, and Speak No Evil we don’t really believe them.

"Our cemetery is best viewed at night, although it easier to see all of the details during daylight hours. Set up takes approximately 20 hours over several days, while tear down only takes approx 4 hours.

"Each October the Cemetery returns, but new features appear each year. This year the new features are the lighted skull on the front door and the red skulls on pikes. The See No Evil, Hear No Evil, and Speak No Evil trio of skeletons are making a reappearance following a three-year hiatus."
