Extreme Halloween House Is A Mecca For Trick-Or-Treaters

One St. Charles man takes Halloween decorations very seriously.

ST. CHARLES, MO β€” One local man takes Halloween decorations to the extreme. "Bigger than Griswold," his neighbors say. Each year, Chris Donaubauer spends an entire month decorating his yard for All Hallow's Eve. His display, the Post-Dispatch reports, is worth as much as $100,000:

The ranch house at 620 Nancy Drive is a little less than 1,100 square feet on an unassuming street. Near the end of October, the glittering Halloween display attracts hundreds of visitors a night; they are welcome to walk around the yard. Some bring their out-of-town guests each year. Earlier this month, a journalist from Norway visited the house after catching word about it. On Halloween night, they give out at least a thousand pieces of candy to trick-or-treaters.

Reportedly, Christmas is even bigger at the Donaubauer house.
