SILVER SPRING, MD — For the Hultons, transforming their front yard into a spooky spectacle is a team effort. Father Chris, mother Melissa, and daughter Kate have spent the last five Halloween nights building pop-up tents in the driveway to create a haunted house.

"We use fog machines, strobes lights, and animatronic items to heighten the experience. Every year has a theme, creepy clown carnival, field hospital that has been overrun by zombies," Chris said.

Yikes.
